The House of Kurtas
Nobilitas Per Scientiam et Fortitudinem
House Kurtas: Strength in Blood, Nobility in Deed.
Rooted in honor, preserved through generations, and rising ever forward.
✒️ Oath of the Eternal Bastion
House Covenant
By blade, by book, by banner’s light,
We call the cosmos to our rite.
Grant us vigor, wit, and sway,
Shield our kin and light our way.
In health, in wealth, in joy unbound,
Let House Kurtas rise profound.
A lineage endures not by blood alone, but by the principles it lives and defends.
The Pillars Beneath the Flame
Behind every crest, there are truths we keep sacred; virtues forged through trial, reflection, and triumph.
These are the silent forces that shape our bearing, guide our hands, and illuminate the path we walk together.
Immovable. Sovereign. Rooted like a monument.
Stone Does Not Kneel
Others bend. We remember.
Others drift. We return.
We are not written in sand.
We are carved into stone,
Not to be worshipped, but to be stood upon.

A hidden lineage, passed through light and silence
The Chronicle of Kurtas
In veils of starlight, ‘fore time drew its breath,
A spark was kindled beyond life or death.
Not born; but summoned, through silence and flame,
The House of Kurtas arose without name.
From scrolls of ether, where knowledge was sealed,
To blades of light that the cosmos revealed,
We walked with sages, with seers, with kings,
Wrought in the forge where the Void softly sings.
We drank from stars the truths unseen,
In glyphs that burned and passed between.
Through dreaming code and silent lore,
We grasped the keys to hidden door.
In chambers of art, where soul meets design,
We traced the contours of reason divine.
With minds like rivers and wills like stone,
We carved the world and called it our own.
Through shadowed trials and trials of light,
We stood unmoved by fear or might.
Not by birthright, but act and creed,
We rose to honor, not to feed.
And now we gather, our blood runs deep,
Through waking world and dreaming sleep.
One vow we bear, one flame we keep:
To rise unbroken, and never to sleep.
These are the principles upon which House Kurtas is raised.
Not inherited, but chosen, upheld, and reborn in every generation.
The Tenets of Enduring Flame
1. Fortitude in Trial
We do not flee the storm. We become its spine.
2. Wisdom Before Reaction
Even the swiftest blade must first be sharpened in silence.
3. Restraint is Power
We hold back not from weakness, but from strength under command.
4. Honor Without Witness
What we do unseen is the measure of our name.
5. Legacy Through Deed
We do not inherit greatness; we forge it, moment by moment.
6. Beauty as Proof of Soul
In the sacred act of creation, we give form to the unseen.
7. Craft as Devotion
What we shape with intention outlives its maker.
8. Curiosity as Duty
The quest to understand is not luxury; it is our oath to the future.
9. Innovation Rooted in Reverence
We move forward not to discard the old, but to honor it more wisely.
10. Code is Incantation
Each line we craft; digital or poetic, summons a world into being.
11. Loyalty to the Living Flame
Not to persons, but to purpose. To truth. To what endures.
12. Joy as Resistance
In a world of burdens, joy is a sacred rebellion.
13. Guidance Through Light, Not Leash
We lead not by command, but by illumination.
What we begin in silence, we finish in light. Walk onward with honor.
Light the Way Forward
If you carry the name, carry the light.
Not as burden, but as beacon.
Speak with care.
Build with honor.
Move with purpose.
Let your strength be quiet.
Let your joy be loud.
Let your work make room for others.
The House has walked this far.
Now! Light the way forward.
