Need the Lore Forum's Help on something.

So finding that the level list we had at GE was incomplete while making guildleve pages, I set out to find the remaining guildleves. I found a full dozen of them we lacked. Now, I was able to piece together the names of eight of them, but these four have me stumped. One I came up with a word that worked, but it didn't seem to fit the whole "Virtues" type thing going on.

Could the first one be "Diversity"?
Could the third be "Convcition"?

Second one is middle english for "Vengeance".

Fourth one: I know the letters don't match up, but from the picture I would say "Charity".

Could the third be an old style version of "commission"?

I still can't piece together the 4th one, but I'm going to go with suggestions already made for the first 3: diversity, vengeance, and conviction.

Part of it is in treating the U's like V's (somewhat opposite of how Latin script has V's instead of U's).

And Ys like Is and Es and Is like Ys.

Apparently a definition for "Gravity" is "manner or conduct that is solemn or dignified" Which would be pretty virtuous I guess. Thank you for all your feedback and having somewhere I could just stare at these until they looked like words. I'm going with "Diversity" "Vengeance" "Conviction" and "Gravity"

Mmm, but a 'gravyite' is someone who champions the cause of gravy! What could be more virtuous??

"Dyuerste" seems to be close to the middle English "Dyuersite" which means 'Variety', essentially 'Diversity', yes. These middle English terms bring to mind the S-E employee who's a well-documented fan of the same... What was his name again?
