The day had now an end, and the night drew nigh. Care beset the wayworn travelers, as to when they should go to bed and rest themselves. Just then a deep voice in the darkness said "Welcome friends. Come into my abode and sit by my fire and refresh yourself. Join in the conversation with my other guests. The mead and food can be paid for by telling us a tale".

Nine Noble Virtues
The Nine Noble Virtues are the ethical code gleaned from various sources including the Poetic Edda (particularly the Hávamál), the Icelandic Sagas and Germanic folklore they were codified by the Odinic Rite in the 1970's.
The virtues are:
Courage
Truth
Honour
Fidelity
Discipline
Hospitality
Self Reliance
Industriousness
Perseverance
Nine Charges
The Nine Charges are, like the Nine Noble Virtues, codified by the Odinic Rite in the 1970's.
The charges are:
To maintain candour and fidelity in love and devotion to the tried friend: though he strike me I will do him no scathe.
Never to make wrongsome oath: for great and grim is the reward for the breaking of plighted troth.
To deal not hardly with the humble and the lowly.
To remember the respect that is due to great age.
To suffer no evil to go unremedied and to fight against the enemies of Faith, Folk and Family: my foes I will fight in the field, nor will I stay to be burnt in my house.
To succour the friendless but to put no faith in the pledged word of a stranger people.
If I hear the fool's word of a drunken man I will strive not: for many a grief and the very death groweth from out such things.
To give kind heed to dead men: straw dead, sea dead or sword dead.
To abide by the enactments of lawful authority and to bear with courage the decrees of the Norns.
