Renegade Shek-Pvar

The Pvaric Code

The code are the rules that govern all Shek-Pvar and it is rigidly enforced. The code is rigidly enforced and a mage who uses magic to harm the Kvikir (ordinary folk) or who brings a House of Lore (chantry) into disrepute will be opposed by other Shek-Pvar, either because they are ethically hostile, or because they believe the organization is threatened by too much visibility.

If six or more masters agree, a mage can be declared Renegade. An infringement may prompt only a warning from a master, group of masters, or chantry; this varies from chantry to chantry and convocation to convocation.

It is the duty of all Shek-Pvar, regardless of convocation, to oppose a renegade, Shek-Pvar are not expected to commit suicide to oppose a powerful renegade. It is enough to quickly report any encounter or knowledge of a renegade's location to the nearest chantry or independent master.

Regardless of the outcome, the Shek-Pvar will try to rectify a renegade's actions. The masters who declared the mage a renegade have the primary responsibility to perform this task. This complex process may require the memory of the renegade to be removed from the minds of dozens of Kvikir.
