The Sword is recorded within WFO Culture & Heritage as an object of family sporting heritage. Its significance lies not in display but in the disciplines of capability, measure and restraint associated with it.
REGULA THES SWERTES
Halt thaz thir bifolahan ist, zi guotemo werke.
Halt thîna maht garo.
Wâfan ni ist zi ziarî noh zi scouwônne.
Irkenni thaz wâfan. Irkenni sîna mâza. Irkenni, wanne thû es ni brûhhan scalt.
Thiu regula ist sama fon themo swerte, fon themo muote inti fon themo ambahte.
Maht bringit mit iru mâza inti zuht.
RULE OF THE SWORD
Keep what has been entrusted to you, for good work.
Keep your strength ready.
A weapon is neither for ornament nor for display.
Know the weapon. Know its measure. Know when you must not use it.
This rule speaks alike of the sword, of the mind, and of the office.
Power brings with it measure and discipline.
