	The chain and the rope are sometimes a matter of contention for the [[Preachers]] of the [[Imperial Orcs]], being too closely representative of the slavery they and their ancestors endured at the hands of the Empire. Some have adopted the '''horse''' (especially the horse skull) to represent Loyalty, while others favour the '''clasped hands''' (a common expression of respect between individuals).

	It is easy for citizens to claim Loyalty but, as with many of the virtues, its proof lies in the testing. For those that claim to be loyal, or to inspire Loyalty, all may seem well in times of peace and prosperity. It is in hardship, when errors are made, that temptation arises, if not to betray, but to doubt and undermine. Time and again, history has shown that when Loyalty is needed most, it is most scarce. The Empire stands on the foundation of the Loyalty of its citizens. If they be not loyal, then the Empire surely cannot stand. Day-to-day loyalty is seen in the student to their teacher, in the soldier to their commander, between lovers and spouses, and between the citizens and the Empire.
