First of for me, I think of these as Virtues. While the "Pillars" are
the 3 Pillars of the SCA, Service, Arts & Sciences, Chevalier <br>
<br>
My cornerstone of Knightly Virtues are Faith, Honor & Loyalty.
>From each of these or within each of these the balance of Virtues are
included.<br>
<br>
Those being (but not limited to) <br>
Prowess<br>
Loyalty <br>
Faith <br>
Courage<br>
Respect<br>
Largesse<br>
Justice<br>
Strength<br>
Defence<br>
Courtesy<br>
Pagentry<br>
Franchise<br>
<br>
<br>
As to defining Prowess to each of the Peerages I can say it no better
than those that have already posted. <br>

the rational, civil statements, discussion, and even debate of any and
all members of this list. The idea behind it is that if we define what
makes a Peer here, perhaps more people will be able to determine if
someone has those qualities and has yet to be recognized. And yes, I
do intend to keep this discussion going until we've covered pretty much
all of the awards, if YOU keep participating in the discussion.</font></strong></div>
