These are the rules that all Black Wardens must follow under pain of death or grievance.
# A Black Warden must never speak freely about the Black Wardens. Secrecy must be enforced at all costs. 
# A Black Warden must always wear his Warden ring. Removing it is a serious offense. It is an extension of the Warden’s life, and should be protected as such. If a Warden dies, it is the responsibility of the Wardens around him to safely recover his ring. 
# The number three is sacred to a Black Warden. It is the only number that does not relate to the gods in some way (one for Ora as the first god, two for the Sisters, four for the Children of Ora, and five for the whole of the Pantheon). It is a representation not only of the Black Wardens, but also of mystery itself. Threes should be sought out, respected, and investigated. 
# A Black Warden must always strive to keep the innocent as innocents. Wardens protect the innocent by keeping them away from painful and dangerous knowledge. The less information a Warden shares, the better. 
# A Black Warden must always investigate anything of suspect, even if it seems unimportant, distracting, or dangerous. 
# The High Warden Commander should be trusted explicitly. However, the Commander is capable of fault like anyone else is. A Warden is willing to do anything to protect the Wardens. A Warden is willing to give his life for any other Warden. 
# A Black Warden is a keeper of secrets, and he must also be prepared to have secrets kept from him. A Warden is expected to understand that he does not need to know everything in order to act, and it is often better if he doesn’t.
