A portrait of Alexiy writing the Austere Canon.
- "Order, Diligence, Purity, Labor, Honor, Loyalty, Faith, and Humility."
- —The Austere Canon[1]
The Austere Canon was a philosophical document authored by Alexiy Desipich during the earliest years of the Age of Silence.[1][2][3] Throughout the Austere Canon, this socialist intellectual developed his philosophy of world government, which revolved around eight concepts—Order, Diligence, Purity, Labor, Honor, Loyalty, Faith, and Humility.[1][2][3] These concepts significantly influenced Nassar Embry and the Allfathers—the statesmen responsible for the formation of the Coalition of Ordered Governments—who incorporated them into the Octus Canon.[2][3][4][5]
