+        <strong>I. Das Wappentier von Godric:</strong><br>
+        Nicht die verschlagene Natter der Kerker, nicht der kluge Rabe, nicht der emsige Dachs – wer krönt mit goldener Mähne den Mut der Tapfersten?<br><br>
+        <strong>II. Das Gestirn der Gezeiten:</strong><br>
+        Nicht das sengende Mittagslicht, nicht der stumme Polarstern, nicht der jähe Blitz – welcher silberne Wanderer herrscht über die stille Nacht?<br><br>
+        <strong>III. Das verzehrende Element:</strong><br>
+        Es löscht keinen Durst, wurzelt in keinem Boden, weht nicht wie der Wind – es frisst gierig Holz, tanzt in Glut und stirbt im Wasser.<br><br>
+        <strong>IV. Das Werkzeug des Meisters:</strong><br>
+        Nicht das Schloss selbst, nicht das alte Pergament, nicht die Glasphiole – welches Instrument aus Holz und Phönixfeder schlägt die Funken?«
