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.)

I'm doing something similar with virtues, so here's my list (it's not that similar, trust me. Feel free to borrow. :)

Tenacity
Defiance
Confidence
Zeal
Diligance
Glory
Allegiance
Belief
Loyalty
Integrity
Patience
Preserverence

Defiance may not work for you, but it does for me. :D

Thanks! (Now I'm curious to know what your list is for.)

A very interesting set of immortal women, let's just say. They have bad habits of kicking ass, taking names, and there's no bubble gum available. And they're the bad guys. Sort of.

Neat!
