The Redwall
Abbey Charter
"To
be Brothers and Sisters of peace and goodwill, living together in
harmony under the protection of Redwall Abbey, forsaking all unnecessary
forms of violence, not only to Mossflower, its trees, grasses, flowers
and insects, but to all living creatures.
To help and comfort the dispossessed, harbor orphans and waifs, offer
shelter to all creatures alike, give clothing, warmth and food to any
beast or creature that is deemed in need of such. To educate and learn,
particularly in the healing arts, comfort the sick, nurse the injured
and help the wounded.
To take out food from the earth and replenish the land by caring for it,
husbanding crops and living in harmony with the seasons always. To honor
and protect out friends and brethren, only raising paw to do battle when
our life at Redwall is threatened by treachery and the shadow of war; at
these times every Redwall creature should show courage, fortitude and
obedience to the Father Abbot. Albeit the taking of another life must
always be justified and never carried out in a wanton manner." |
