"You have come to understand the meaning of the three virtues, and how they may be applied, but understanding does not equate to mastery. True mastery can only be achieved with perfect balance. Therein lies the challenge and mystery of the Heart of Virtue. Any warrior deficient in one aspect is ultimately doomed to fail. Therefore, ask yourselves: Is your honor perfect? Are you unerring in your duty? Is your loyalty beyond reproach? Every warrior's life is the Empire's, but every warrior's soul is his own. This balance is a quest that may require a lifetime to fulfill; it is not a lesson that can be taught. It is something you must discover for yourselves as you travel the River of Blood."
