Exemplar Way

Karrocks traditionally follow the "Exemplar Way", a path to self-perfection through exacting obeisance to the "Exemplar Virtues" and emulation of the "Exemplar Saints". The saints were holy ancestors who demonstrated the virtues in their lives. Each of the saints is typically remembered for "inventing" a single virtue, such as "Arith the Patient". Karrocks do not actually worship Saints but rather admire and try to emulate their deeds.

Karrock monasteries and shrines are typically named for one of the Saints. Traditionally, each step is carved with one of the Exemplar Virtues or Exemplar Saints of the Karrock Exemplar Way.

Exemplar priests name children after one of the saints on their first birthday, called their "name day". Instead of celebrating their birthday, Exemplars celebrate their name day every year--the birthday of their namesake Saint. For example, an Exemplar named "Arith" would celebrate the Name Day of Arith every year instead of his birthday. Name Days are elaborate festivals surrounding the virtue of the Saint.

Sample names are: Arith the Patient, Merilith the Prudent, Tyr the Just, Oghma the Wise, Hrith the Strong, Torm the True, Torith the Vigilant.
