Continental scholars, and Academy peers, will insist on calling it an archduchy. Since we received a gracious, if not patronising, welcome by sir Melwin of House Paramont, I can tolerate this classification for a little while.

I have always wondered what the mythical Seven Commandments and the Rules of Honour in practice meant for Helonian society. From my experience as a Hellknight squire, the Measure is reminiscent of the Helonians’ strict codification of chivalry and the maxims of the Chain rhyme doctrinally with the Commandments and the Rules of Honour: an emphasis on fighting for order, regulation of both outward behaviour and personal emotions, and an interpretative view of mercy. The chief difference being that Hellknight dogma does not discriminate between commoner and gentry, whilst the entire point of the Helonian system is the perpetuation of the rulers and the ruled, oppressor and oppressed. But I must admit that there seems to be a genuine feeling of benevolent intent underlying sir Melwin’s explanations of his duties. Even if it sounds like a defence mechanism.
