Description
The "Stones of Valor" are a set of rares found only in Miikka64's galaxy, and are followed by Knight Empires who don't believe in the teachings of the Stones of Force like most others. The scholars of today believe these stones were "scribbled" by a species that worshiped the Goddess of Chivalry, Galadra, due to the mention of the goddess' realm of Avalon.
[?Stones of Valor?]
"We are each born weak and fragile, but grow strong through our own acts. The worth of a creature is not determined by their possessions or skills, but what they do when they are confronted with an immovable evil. To stand against the wicked, no matter how strong they are, is the only right thing to do."
- Stone of Valor Vol. 1
"Justice, sagacity, prudence, temperance, resolution, truth, liberality, diligence, hope and valor; these are the cornerstones of a knight's virtue."
- Stone of Valor Vol. 2
"The creation can be divided into two categories: the weak and the strong. But the weak and the strong are also divided into good and evil; and despite the strong's responsibility to protect the weak, evil must be eradicated. For if the evil weak become strong, they will abuse the next weaker."
- Stone of Valor Vol. 3
"Life for the righteous is one of constant self-discipline. Perseverance. Enduring the unendurable with a smile on your face. The ability to stand up straight in the face of the black-hearted, and when they've knocked you down, to get right back up. To be a knight is to endure, persevere, and prevail."
- Stone of Valor Vol. 4
"In the heart of every creature lies a seed of valor, waiting to bloom amidst the trials of righteousness. It is not the size of the challenge that defines the hero, but the magnitude of their resolve to confront it. For in the crucible of hardship is the true essence of valor forged."
- Stone of Valor Vol. 5
"But as there is courage, there is cowardice. And while the courageous have the power to change the universe, cowards can bring it to ruin. Cowardice is the core of all evil, and thus, those who succumb to temptations of dishonor are the most dangerous. A knight's duty is to root out such cowards and destroy them, so the weak may live in peace."
- Stone of Valor Vol. 6
"The Grox are beings of unadulterated evil. They are the ultimate expression of everything wrong in the galaxy, and their existence must be expunged from the universe. They lack any and all redeeming qualities, and it is the duty of the gallant to eliminate all Grox wherever possible."
- Stone of Valor Vol. 7
"True valor is not measured by the height of the mountains conquered, but by the depth of the valleys endured."
- Stone of Valor Vol. 8
"The day will come when the galaxy will be cleansed of all evil. On that day, all beings will walk the path of righteousness. No longer will we be torn between what is right and what is easy. No longer will we be divided between the strong and the weak. All will walk hand-in-hand towards the open gates of Avalon."
- Stone of Valor Vol. 9
"As the sun sets on the horizon of righteousness, casting its golden rays upon the battlefield of honor, let every knight stand tall and resolute, their hearts ablaze with the fire of justice. For in the annals of history, it is not the wealth, power or status of a knight that is remembered, but their actions in service to the weak and innocent. Remember the fallen, and carry them into battle with you; let their deeds guide your hand and help you carry the weight of your sword and shield. And when you finally fall, your final breath drawn, your eyes closing forever, let it be said that you lived by the code of chivalry and died a knight."
- Stone of Valor Vol. 10

These are some excellent and fitting teachings for the Knight archetype. Definitely more suitable than the "we'll kill you so others don't get to profit from killing you" that you get from Stones of Force.
