The First Stricture

The First Stricture is a book found in Dishonored, The Knife of Dunwall and Dishonored: The Corroded Man.

Transcript
[Excerpt from a work detailing one of the Seven Strictures]

''Restrict the Wandering Gaze that looks hither and yonder for some flashing thing that easily catches a man's fancy in one moment, but brings calamity in the next. For the eyes are never tired of seeing, nor are they quick to spot illusion. A man whose gaze is corrupted is like a warped mirror that has traded beauty for ugliness and ugliness for beauty. Instead, fix your eyes to what is edifying and to what is pure, and then you will be able to recognize the profane monuments of the Outsider.''
