1. **Trust No One:**
Suspicion is the rogue's armor. Trust is a luxury they can't afford. Whether dealing with allies or enemies, caution prevails. Information is power, and revealing too much can be deadly.
2. **Silence Is Golden:**
Loose lips sink ships—or in this case, slit throats. Rogues keep their secrets close, sharing only what's necessary. The fewer who know, the safer they remain.
3. **Honor Among Thieves:**
Paradoxically, rogues honor their own. A code exists, albeit murky. They won't harm fellow rogues unless betrayal demands it. Betraying one's own is the gravest sin.
4. **The Art of Deception:**
Rogues thrive on lies, half-truths, and misdirection. Their words are weapons, their smiles daggers. They'll steal your purse while complimenting your eyes.
5. **Adapt or Die:**
The underworld is ever-changing. Rogues must adapt swiftly—to new threats, shifting allegiances, and evolving tactics. Stagnation leads to graves.
