Ratkin Renown

Litany of Survival

Preserve the Veil, which ensures your survival

Shred the Wyrm's tentacles wherever they constrict you

Sever the Weaver's threads wherever they calcify chaos

Survive so that you may breed

Respect strength, exploit weakness

Conflict breeds strength

Build, steal and suborn to strengthen your breeding grounds

Trust your own kind before you trust outsiders

When someone is responsible for injustice, make sure someone pays
