Mighty Torm, My Lord, My Way,
Enlighten me, in times of unavoidable conflicts,
For I’ll need your implacable conviction,
In the outcome I’ll be a part of.

Flood my heart with courage,
For not fearing death makes me stronger.
Shine on my mind so that my act of faith,
Does not end in a unaccomplished Duty.

Guide my hand which I bring your Judgement with,
For the display of Justice brings Hope to the innocent.
Strengthen me whole when I’ll face incarnations of Evil,
For no followers of the True would accept defeat as an accomplishment.

In the face of the impossible,
Be at my side for my love for you,
Would make failure a feeling of unworthiness.
Do not forgive me easily when I’m weak,
Cause each false step takes me farther from the Truth.

Bless me with the essence of Duty,
For your Exemplary Sacrifice in Tantras,
Showed me that you’ll always be there,
To carry the Weight of Duty with me.

As this feat made you stronger,
Show me wisdom to learn from smaller ones.
Mighty Torm, My Lord, My Way,
I humbly aspire, to be as strong as thee.

-Book of Knights, Chapter 14, Verses 13-19.

Attributed to Saint Thomas Bertalen in 619, Year of Orcsfall, at the commencement of the battle of Tilver's Gap.

Hail Torm! Hail the True!
For thou have blessed thee.
And the essence of Duty is in thee.
For my soul I’ll give for thou.
In achieving my duties for thee.
For a lifetime with nothing to do.
Will leave the soul and spirit empty.

I salute thee, the Loyal Fury
Source of Strenght of Will
Tyr stands with thee
Member of the Triad
The most Loyal of all
Holy Torm, example of Obedience
Stand by us, mortals
For now, ’till the en


-traditional evening prayer, penned by a fourteen year old Tolman Hart in his father's workshop, six years before he became a Paladin of Torm.

My Lord the True,
Sitting on your throne in the Lonely Citadel,
Which rests on Mount Celestia,
In TrueHeart bordering Mercuria.

May your name be praised,
May you be worshiped for all eternity,
May your justice be brought through all the Realms.

Give us our Duty,
As we’ll accomplish it in a fashion,
That only you could show us,
And protect us from all incarnations of evil.

For the present and the future.

As I travel the Realms,
All the while showing the Hand,
Preaching your word as the Duty,
For words of you are spoken through me,
Shine on me the light of thee,
So unbelievers will believe.

If ever I wrong your words,
Strike on me like prey birds,
For my life I vowed to thee,
And no meanings has a life in an unfinished Duty,
For the ultimate sacrifice you made for us,
Showed how exemplary can be a being for a cause.

The Sword, The Hand, The Three Arrows,
All tokens, your symbols,
They will never break,
Neither my faith will shake,
Icons for those who believe,
With your presence in my heart I feel relieve.

-The Knight Errant's Prayer, a traditional prayer that is known by nearly all formally schooled Errant Paladins.
