The Dragoon Code of ConductThese set of rules must be followed by all Dragoons from this moment forward, deviation from the code will result in possible removal from the squad.
- Brotherhood - The Dragoons are loyal to their fellow men as if they were brothers. Though all orders given by superiors
MUST be followed, fellow Dragoons come before all. (For example if a Dragoon is ordered to arrest a fellow Dragoon he would do so without question, but would do it grudgingly.)
- Discipline - Every Dragoon upholds a strong sense of discipline. A Dragoon will not engage in idle jesting while on active duty, will follow every order blindly and they are impartial in all judgement over the men even those of family or friends unless clashing with the first Code.
- Combat - The Dragoons must remain in peak form with their combat abilities, anything but excellence is not acceptable.
- Honor -A Dragoon upholds a strong sense of honor, for example humiliating your opponent after a duel or contest is not considered honorable, they are above petty bickering of that or any sort.
