Moonlight Dwelling

First Rule: People will believe a lie because they want it to be true or because they're afraid it might be true.

People are stupid; given proper motivation, almost anyone will believe almost anything. Because people are stupid, they will believe a lie because they want to believe it's true, or because they are afraid it might be true.

Second Rule:

The greatest harm can result from the best intentions.

Third Rule:

Passion rules reason.

Fourth Rule:

There is magic in sincere forgiveness, the magic to heal. In forgiveness you grant, but more so, in forgiveness you receive.

Fifth Rule:

Mind what people do, not only what they say, for deeds will betray a lie.

Sixth Rule:

Let reason be your only sovereign.

Seventh Rule:

Life is the future, not the past.

Eighth Rule:

Deserve victory.

Ninth Rule:

A contradiction cannot exist in reality. Not in part, nor in whole.

Tenth Rule:

Willfully turning aside from the truth is treason to one's self.

Rule Unwritten:

The rule of all rules. The rule unwritten. The rule unspoken since the dawn of history... But Barracus wanted you to know that it's the secret to using a war wizard's power. The only way to express it, to make sure that you would grasp what he was intending to tell you, was to give you a book unwritten to signify the rule unwritten.
