    Was trying to figure out which virtues are related to the 7 Obsidian Septagram of Dominion.

    Strategic - thus having a firm understanding of an overall plan of success.
    Tactical - thus understanding what must be done in a particular moment.
    Desirous - thus yearning for greater glories and grander achievements. (Sacrifice?)
    Fierce - thus inspiring respect and fear among allies and enemies alike. (Honor?)
    Renowned- thus having forged a name and reputation from these traits. (Humility?)
    Persistent - thus reinforcing and maintaining renown with consistent acts.
    Endeavorous - thus striving to perform monumental tasks of worth.

    Do we have any info on which of these relates to, virtue wise? These are basically the Anti-Virtues the Obsidian Order uses.

    I'm not privy to any special knowledge, but purely from observation these don't appear to parallel/oppose Lord British's virtues. Are you sure they're not a "similar but separate" schema like the gargoyle virtues of Ultima lore?

    That's a deep subject which I think is still sort of not linked to what we know as the Ultima Virtues, or Lord British/Gargoyles virtues which are linked together. But I assume there may be links within themselves which create the depiction of the 7 point star or heptagram, which in real life is linked to the days of the week and 7 major real world planets.

    If this is linked to those real world septagram links, then the Obsidian virtue of "Renowned" would fit into the traditional Texas meal of Taco Thusdays or "Desirous" Taco Tuesdays :D~Time Lord~

    Has anyone possibly translated this: Framed Anti-Principles and Anti-Virtues Parchment

    Was just curious.

    Are then the 3 (Anti-Virtue? Obsidian Virtues? not sure what to call these?) Principals: Falsehood, Hatred and Cowardice which combine to Dominion.
    And then the 8 Virtues of: Deceit (Falsehood), Despise (Hatred), Dastard (Cowardice), Injustice (Falsehood and Hatred), Punishment (Hatred and Cowardice), Dishonor (Falsehood and Cowardice), Carnality (Falsehood, Hatred and Cowardice) and Vanity (no virtue).
