‘What is dead may never die, but rises again, harder and stronger.’
Cowardice in Battle
Fear of death — especially death at sea — is deeply dishonorable.
Sins would include:
- Fleeing battle,
- Begging mercy,
- Clinging desperately to life,
- Avoiding danger when others face it.
The creed “What is dead may never die” rejects fear as faithlessness.
