KNIGHTS OF SAREVOK THE DREAM, THE POISON OATH, AND THE VENOM THE DREAM IS THE ULTIMATE GOAL OF THE KNIGHTHOOD. FOR KNIGHTS OF THE RANK OF 15 OR LOWER, IT MEANS ONE THING.....ONE WORLD ORDER, NO LESS THAN TOTAL AND UNQUESTIONED DOMINATION OF THE WORLD. THE OATH AND VENOM WORK TOWARDS THAT GOAL. THERE ARE VARIOUS CEREMONIES WHEN KNIGHTS MOVE BEYOND THE TESTS OF ZHAKRIN, PART OF WHICH IS A DEEP IMPRESSION OF VENOM, THE WILL OF ZHAKRIN AND GOALS OF THE KNIGHTHOOD. THE POISON OATH IS SIMPLY PUT...SUBMIT OR DIE. WHEN JOINING, THE KNIGHTS DEDICATE BODY AND SOUL TO THE CAUSE. THERE IS A CODE BY WHICH THESE KNIGHTS LIVE THEIR LIVES AND A VIOLATION TO THIS CODE RESULTS IN PUNISHMENT, USUALLY DEATH. JUST A LITTLE IS KNOWN OF IT. DEATH IS NOT CONSIDERED AS AN ULTIMATE END FOR THESE KNIGHTS, BUT RATHER AS AN ADVANCEMENT TO A HIGHER RANK. ZHAKRIN IS THE FINAL JUDGE OF A KNIGHT'S LIFE AND THE KNIGHT IS REWARDED OR PUNISHED AS HE DECIDES. THEREFOR THE KNIGHT DOES NOT FEAR DEATH, BUT RATHER THE WRATH OF HIS GOD, ZHAKRIN. IF A KNIGHT WISHES TO APPEAL THE RULING MAY ONCE HIS SOUL HAS BEEN DISPATCHED TO ZHAKRIN, DO SO. HE WILL HEAR HIS PLEA AND HAS BEEN KNOWN TO SEND A KNIGHT BACK TO "CORRECT AN ERROR". SUCH UNDEAD KNIGHTS ARE KNOWN AS REVENANTS. THE CODE IS DIVIDED INTO SEVERAL PIECES, BUT 3 SIMPLE ONES... THE VIPER: SUBMIT AND BE STRONG THE BITE: DEATH IS PATIENT. IT FLOWS BOTH FROM WITHOUT AND FROM WITHIN. BE VIGILANT IN ALL AND SKEPTICAL OF ALL. THE VENOM: ONE WHO FOLLOWS THE HEART FINDS IT WILL BLEED. FEEL NOTHING BUT VICTORY.
