So, archons are manifestations of mortal virtues, and in my weird craze to create new creatures from existing ones, I'm trying to see if I can figure out what the virtues would be for each of the 1e archons (particularly the exscinder archon), so I'm opening it to the hivemind to help me.

​

The list below is organized in CR/level, name of the archon, and the virtue it represents (if the virtue is bolded, then it's already defined in 2e)

1 Lantern: Hope
2 Harbinger: Piety?
3 Spyglass: Patience?
4 Horned/Stag: Charity
4 Hound: Diligence
5 Codex: Knowledge? (is that considered a virtue?)
7 Legion: Justice
9 Preceptor: Guidance in time of need (whatever the one-word virtue for that is called)
10 Shield: Courage
12 Exscinder: Tenacity? Duty? (my personal favorite archon, but this one’s really got me stumped)
14 Trumpet: Kindness
17 Gate: Vigilance?
19 Star: Prudence
20 Bastion: Sacrifice
