  3. Thou shalt not act a knave, nor sow discord for mirth or malice.
  4. Thou shalt take all tidings as falsehoods, until proven true and borne of a righteous source.
  5. Thou shalt doubt all fonts of knowledge until they be shown to be steadfast and true.
  6. Thou shalt not declare as truth, save what thou traces to a font of firm foundation.
  7. Thou shalt not share utterances born of vapors and vanity, lest they lead others astray.
  8. Thou shalt deem all fonts and utterances as crafted by maligned golems, unless it be made known they come from mortal hand of true flesh and noble soul.
  9. Thou shalt not take the word of any golem, maligned or not, to be gospel, but seek witnesses and signs to confirm it.
  10. That which is writ upon the net shall endure unto the end of days; post thou with reverence and fear.
