Oaths Restored

Oaths Restored

 

 

The proud banners of blue and silver flew high in the wind above the battlements of the great fortress of House Silverblade. Sounds of chatter could be heard from inside the keep as the elders of the House, alongside Lord Huron Silverblade himself sat themselves down for a meeting to determine the future of their family. After some time had passed, the gates to the keep were flung open as Huron made his way out from within, accompanied by his cousin Lotorian and his distant kinsman Audric. He was adorned in plates of iron and steel, while a long cloak flowed down behind him. The group immediately mounted themselves upon horseback, set and ready to ride for the Orenian capital of Vekaro. Kicking into the side of their steeds, they stormed out across the bridge and onwards from the city towards Oren.

 

 

As they arrived before the gates of Vekaro, there was little but hushed murmurs as they each dismounted and lifted off their helmets. Stable boys quickly appeared, taking hold of their horses’ reigns as they led them off towards an enclosed patch of land. The three Silverblades stood, gazing up through the city streets towards the old Decterum keep where within, the Emperor Peter Chivay awaited their presence. Traitors to Oren as many of them had been known, now returned to fulfil their oaths to the Empire they had once served. Ascending the staircase, eyes turned on after them as they made their way through the gate and into the Emperor’s throne room.

 

Upon entering the keep, the three men lowered themselves to kneel. There adorned in vivid garments, layered beneath thick iron plating, Emperor Peter sat upon his throne, his eyes looking down upon his guests. Huron himself edged ever so slightly closer to the throne as they were each greeted in turn.

 

“Emperor Peter… It has been many years since House Silverblade has served beneath a ruler of Oren. Yet it was our oaths that we pledged to its former Emperors. Oaths that we still follow to this day. Should your rule have truly been sanctioned by the holy spirit of Godfrey himself, we shall bow to you as our one true Emperor.”

 

 

 

As the three remained kneeling, Emperor Peter smiled as he descended down from the throne. Bishop John made his way from the side of the room, requesting that they repeat after him.

 

“I, Huron Silverblade, Lord of House Silverblade,

do become your liege man of life and limb,

and of earthly worship;

and faith and truth I will bear unto you,

to live and die, against all manner of folks.

So help me God.”

 

So with those simple words uttered, it was done. The days of exile were finally over. House Silverblade would once more serve beneath Oren and its Emperor as it had done many years ago. With a slight smile forming across his face, Ser Audric the Valiant gleamed down at his old blade. Their oaths and titles restored, the three Silverblades rose and stood upright, ready to fight, die and even kill in the name of their Emperor once again.

Alexander Valois stands outside the Imperial Keep in Vekaro, drenched in blood from the two men who last opposed him. Upon entering the Keep, his gaze drifts up to see Audric. An old friend had finally returned to Oren and now was knighted once more, as well, his wife's Family had returned to Oren.

The Knight traveled towards the Silverblade keep, certain of what his next words would be, his mind made up.

Entering the throne room of Huron, he raised his voice, speaking to the lord.

"I seek to join the House Silverblade due to my marriage with Emmeline Silverblade, daughter of Mizu."

With a nod, Lord Huron responded.

"Welcome home, Ser Silverblade."
