Values

The Nine Values

These are the nine values of the Order — carried through barbarism, civilisation, and degeneracy. These values keep us on our path. Each man who swears the Oaths binds himself to these, or he is not of the Order.

Strength

The core of survival. Not just physical — strength is mental, spiritual, and generational. To endure, defend, and overcome. Without it, nothing survives; no one leads.

Honour

Live worthy of respect and memory. Honour is earned, guarded, and handed down. It demands discipline, sacrifice, and steadfast values — in public and alone.

Discipline

Master yourself in thought and deed. Reject vice, weakness, and decadence. Discipline breeds order. Order arms you against chaos.

Bravery

Face danger and pain without surrender. Bravery isn’t fearlessness — it’s command of fear. To act in hardship, despite the voice that tells you not to.

Fidelity

Stay loyal — to your kin, oath, and way. Fidelity is tested, chosen, and sustained. It binds the Order and shields it against decay.

Integrity

Be who you claim. Your word is iron. Integrity is acting on belief, even unseen. It’s truth in action, not just appearance.

Resilience

Adapt, overcome, endure. Rise after defeat, rebuild, and persist. Remain true, whatever comes.

Minimalism

Refuse decadence, greed, and waste. Live with only what you need. Minimalism brings clarity, agility, and strength unburdened.

Simplicity

Embrace clear, simple living. Strip away distraction and decay. Simplicity is not poverty — it’s purity. Barbarism over bureaucracy, clarity over noise.

Altar Items
Strength — The Black Ball

A bullet — power, survival, and inevitability. A reminder that strength is the core of sovereignty.

Honour — Unlinked Chain

Represents convict-slave origins. A chain never connected — honour in resistance.

Discipline — Mouse Symbol Token

Symbol of the “Beautiful Ones” who withdrew from decay. A reminder of the need for structured, chosen restraint.

Bravery — Black Feather

The Bushrangian Order’s Movement. To stand apart. To embrace risk, pain, and reputation.

Fidelity — Broken Pheon Arrowhead

Severed from the empire — loyal to kin and camp.

Integrity — Noose

Truth bears a cost — men with integrity hold to it even when it costs them their life. A symbol of what it can cost.

Resilience — Blood-Knotted Tails

Black and yellow. Representing the flogged convicts. Endurance and persistence through suffering.

Minimalism — The Eternal Cycle Symbol

No excess. No clutter. Minimalism is clarity — a life unburdened by vanity, clutter, or waste.

Simplicity — Black Polished Stone

Smooth, cold, unadorned. Truth without embellishment.

Prospect Rites

Each rite must be completed before a man may become sworn. Each one binds him further to the Way.

Strength

Carry a heavy stone, bound by rope, unassisted, a distance decided by the Chief. The stone represents the ball and chain, a punishment endured by our convict ancestors. This rite proves the man’s willingness and ability to endure and overcome on his own.

Honour

Undertake a hunt, alone or with assigned brothers, and return with the meat to feed the camp. Hunting reflects ancestral roles of provision and responsibility.

Discipline

Complete a 7-day fast — no food, vices, or indulgence. This is a test of control over body and mind.

Bravery

Confront personal fears. The task is set by the Chief based on observation and assessment. This rite separates performance from truth.

Fidelity

Guard the camp or a sacred site alone for a full night. Fidelity is presence — even when unseen, uncomfortable, or afraid.

Integrity

Confess aloud to the sworn members a moment in life where each value was failed. Integrity demands cost.

Resilience

Complete a nomadic movement of the Order on foot. Travel reflects survival, hardship, and endurance.

Minimalism

Live for one month with no more than nine personal items. This rite proves the man can thrive without excess.

Simplicity

Spend one week without technology, or speech, unless in emergency. This rite returns the man to what matters.

Acknowledgement of Conviction

We acknowledge the Celtanglian Convict-Slaves who were shipped here in chains, never to return home, the Celtanglian settlers who were exploited, who built this land, and the ANZACs whose sacrifices were betrayed by their governments.

We reject the guilt-based narrative that seeks to erase our dead, silence our pride, and strip us of what our ancestors earned. This land was carved through blood, sweat, and punishment — and it belongs to those who still remember.
