EXCERPT FROM THE BLOOD EDICT

(…) Thus said his Majesty the ever-radiant Sun King –
“The Law of Dawns is just.” But wherein consists the Law of Dawns? In these things, to wit, little respite from the sun, many good deeds, loyalty, purity, truthfulness, nobility.
The gift of spiritual insight, one I have given in manifold ways; whilst in manlands or elflands, in ancient Kalimdor and isles once shattered, I have conferred various favors, even unto the boon of life to misbegotten Amani primitives and many other good deeds I have done.
For this purpose I have caused this scripture of the Law of Dawns to be written that elves may walk after its teaching and that it may long endure. And he who will thus follow its teachings will do well for I sign it by my own blood. (…) 

(…) Now, by the Eternal Sun, go and ensure glory for our people and bring the Law of Dawns wherever you go, be the executioner’s sword and the judge’s scales so you might weigh the blood of our enemies against The Blood Father’s and find them wanting. Become this Edict’s embodiment as you carry its words signed by His blood. Go and be a weapon, Knights of the Blood Edict.

Founded by Knight-Lord Anu'thenos Bloodwing and led by the exalted Bloodwarder Reldrin Sunstriker, the blood Edict has been founded in the honor of the Blood Patriarch Vandellor in an age of peace to Quel'thalas. For in an age of peace one must remain vigilant and weaken the enemy as the next war encroaches.
