Okay, new question

My brain is blurring out from staring at lists of Latin nouns, so I'm going to throw this a bit wider open and see what the commentariat can suggest.

In this totally hypothetical story that I'm totally not working on, there is a group of female knights under holy orders, in a secondary-world setting modeled on medieval Europe, serving the Queen of a place that will probably look like France. I want their names to form a list of the virtues they are supposed to uphold. (There is room for irony here, as they will not always live up to those names.)

What virtues would you expect to see on that list?

I need a total of twelve; suggest as many as you like. Bonus points if you can provide me with Latin nouns matching your suggestions, ending in either -tas or -ia -- I'm trying to see if I can get a satisfactory set without having to rejigger any of the Latin. (I can put together twelve on either pattern, but not without leaving out some concepts I think I'd like to include.)

No, I haven't. The Internets are failing to tell me what the Virtues are, too. <sadface>

Muchas gracias! (Gotta love how they put Virginity and Chastity and Abstinence in there.)

Yeah, I figured. (I chose "Castimonia" for my final list because it covers moral purity while also including the concept of chastity.) But it still amuses me. :-)
