Symon makes way with a small envoy of his militia, leaving the farm in the hands of his steward he travels towards the capital and makes his way to the palace to swear his oaths. Once called forth he'd deal with the pleasantries and then take a knee to recite them.

 

 

"I, Symon Stafyr, humble subject of the creator, descendant and great great great grandson of Galtor I. Stafyr in direct line, Eighth Patriarch of House Stafyr, Count of Schattenburg, Fourth Lord of Stafyr in service to the Empire, hereby solemnly swear following oath.

 

 

In fulfilment of the words "Law, Honor, Loyalty, Family and Truth",...

 

I swear to hold up the Emperor's law and word, do his bidding.

 

I swear to hold up the Emperor's honor, defend him from his enemies, hold his name up in high regards, fight and if Creator wills it die in his name.

 

I swear to loyally serve the Emperor and not fall in his back, be it by plotting with his enemies or be it by attacking him directly.

 

I swear that the family and House of Stafyr will serve the Emperor as loyal as I shall, and I will persecute every member who denies their oath.

[LeRenardNoir 413]

The August Chancellor Donatien Brunswick ascends the steps to the palace with a small retinue of family members. Upon reaching the doors, he gestures for both his cousin and uncle to wait outside. 

 

Upon entering the throne room, Donatien takes a swift knee, bowing in a most servile manner. 

 

"Your Imperial Majesty." Donatien says, in way of greeting.

 

The Chancellor waits for a nod from the Emperor before reciting his oath. 

 

"I, Donatien Alphonse Francois Brunswick, August Chancellor of the Imperium Tertius, Baron of Lachsin and Patriarch of the House of Brunswick, do swear that I will be faithful and bear true allegiance to His Imperial Majesty Emperor Robert, his heirs and successors, according to law. So help me God."

 

Upon finishing, Donatien bows even lower before standing up and straightening his shoulders. He gives a final nod to the Emperor and a ghost of a smile plays across his lips. 

[cruzazul 2815]

Boris Carrion, man who doesn't spam titles to compensate for other things waits his turn before going.

"I, Boris Carrion III, swear fealty to the Imperium, and promise to be faithful and uphold the law, so help me God."

[Helbolt 129]

A man in black armor approaches Robert Chivay, and proceeds to quickly dismount from his horse.  Several guards, noticing his approach and the large war hammer at his side start to stop him.  As they do, he lazily removes his helmet revealing a Southeron man.  They continue to block his way until he looks down at his signet ring and back up at them.  The lead guard, looking in disbelief moves quickly out of the way.  When he reaches Robert, he kneels and looks at the Prince's feet never making eye contact.

 

"I, Jacob Frost, love to a beaten betrothed, lord of a murdered servant, and loyal Imperialist assassinated by those whom say they have your best interest in mind, my prince, do once again swear myself to you and your Empire, so help me creator."

 

He then rises, turns in a military fashion, and puts back on his helmet.  Mounting his horse he rides off with haste.

[Malaise 1570]

Rhys Briarwood enters the court, waiting his turn in line before approaching the throne and bending the knee.

 

"I, Rhys Briarwood, swear fealty to the Imperium, promise to be faithful, to uphold the laws of men, and to ensure those in my service shall do the same. So help me God."

 

He stands, immediately turning to depart without further word.

[Aetosion 2062]

Edward steps out from beside the throne, taking his place infront of the throne. With a formal descent to his knee, a lowered head, and a very large breath, he speaks.

 

"I, the August, Count Edward Winter II of Herendul, Imperial Chamberlain to the Chivay dynasty of Oren, Commander of his imperial majesty's cavalry of the Exercitus of the Chivay dynasty of Oren, vestigial King of Herendul,  dynast of the Great House Winter, Former Lord Protector of the North, Former jurist primus of Oren, Former King of Herendul, Kingdom Knight to Oren, Former Lord Chancellor to the Carrion dynasty of Oren, Former Lord High Steward to the Horen dynasty of Oren, Former Lord General of the Royal Orenian Army, Former Royal Scribe to the Orenian privy, Former Baron of Frostlake, Former Count of Northal, Former Count of Skyed, Former Baron of Horenswood, grandson of Harold Winter I, grandson of the exalted St. Godfrey Horen, and "Rex Aquilonius", of Koviran,

 

on behalf of the people of Herendul and my noble family, do swear renewed alleigance to the state of the Holy Empire of Oren and its sovereign the glorious

 

Emperor Robert Primus Aeldinicus Chivay, King of Kaedrin, Salvus, Seventis and Renatus, Sovereign of Aeldin, Senior Protector of the Aeldinic Peoples, Duke of the Westerlands and Korath, Count of Rhoswen, Cintran and Peakard, Baron of Yarton, Sannil, Rivia and Krak du Rhoswen, Chosen of Saint Owyn, The First Sparrow, and Guardian of the Yaruga, Defender of our glorious and immaculate state of Oren.”

 

The Chamberlain then removes from his finger a silver ring, inset with an onyx stone engraved with a dragon passant, stands and walks to the foot of the throne, placing the ring gingerly by the foot of the imposing monarch, a gesture of full devotion to the crown and final relinquishing of old allegiances.

Boris Carrion shakes his head at the Winter foolishness, muttering to his inferior,

"Are you dumb?"

[youlovesocks 652]

Han, only Han, formerly Han, and currently Han agrees with Boris,

 

"Aye, what an idiot."

[Jakesimonson 691]

I, Varon Kovachev, swear fealty to the Imperium, and promise to be faithful and uphold the law, so help me God."

[Zhulik 3559]

Voron slowly entered the keep whilst carrying a golden lorraine cross, the same one he preformed the myriad of Lucienist oathing ceremonies with. Being a new 'Baron' to his suprise, Voron was caught quite off guard. As he strutted into the keep he wore his Imperial Officer uniform for he was the Decurion of first Company. He coughs as he approaches the throne, kneeling.

"I, Voron Rovin, the Lord and Baron of Aesterwald and Patriarch of House Rovin hereby and permanently swear loyalty, service und undying allegiance to that of the Kaiser and his family. In the eyes of the creator to which I have served for more than half my life, I promise within his gaze that my word is honest and unchanging.

With Valor, Purity and Determination I shall defend your name and the great Empire, until death separates me from reality.

I shall uphold your laws and your will within the Vander society and that of Aesterwald without hesitation.

 

 

What is my Oath? I vow to you, Robert Chivay, as Emperor and Ruler of the Orenian Empire loyalty and bravery. I vow to you and to the leaders that you set for me, absolute allegiance until death. So help me God!
 

Do I believe in a god? - Yes, I believe in the  Lord Creator.

What do I think about a man who does not believe in a god? I think he is arrogant, megalomaniacal and filthy; he is not an Orenian.

I am a man of honor and I am a soldier above all, I shall die for the Empire need be. Ave Orenia! Ave Chivay!" He shouts out.

He finally finishes his kneeling before the emperor, standing. He places his right hand upon his chest, thrusting it outwards. He turns to his about face and marches off.

OOC NOTE: teerz and ymbninjakiller are /not/ Rovins.

[Eddywilson2 2117]

A massive, played figure makes his way into the palace. The guards stand a little straighter as the once disciplinary marches by to the throne room. A few nobles and noblewomen are surprised by his entry as Tarcell Othaman removes his greathelm. Kneeling down before the Emperor, he swears once more to the Empire of Humanity.

"I, Tarcell Othaman, the Lord of Valles, Foxhearth and Patriarch of House Othaman hereby swear my blade, loyalty and service to the Emperor and his family.

I swear to uphold his laws, protect his family, follow his commands and bring justice to his enemies.

I swear to spread the Faith, the purge heretics from the land, and to purify the unclean.

I swear to this in the eyes of those present and in the eyes of the Creator for all to see. I am a follower of the Emperor of Humanity."

With that Tarcell bows once more before rising. The Emperor smirks slightly at him as Tarcell moves over to the side.

[Jachnun 566]

Ser branaford in the middle of his vacation in the middle of the east, hearing many explosions looks at Edward's /bombastic/ set of titles says "that's just ******* uncalled for"

((Yh I'm still alive in middle of vacation in Israel getting bombed by Hamas !!))

[Redbaron™ 690]

Rowan walks into the the new palace wearing his officer uniform, he nods to him comrades as he passes the guards that protect the imperial family.   Upon entering the court room he looks up to the Emperor, bending his knee.

 

"I, Rowan Hightower, Patriarch of House Hightower hereby swear my blade, loyalty and service to the Emperor and his family. 

I swear to uphold his laws, protect his family, follow his commands and bring justice to his enemies.

I swear to spread the Faith, the purge heretics from the land, and to purify the unclean.

I swear to this in the eyes of those present and in the eyes of the Creator for all to see. I am a follower of the Emperor of Humanity.

 

I as well swear to right the wrongs of my family that have caused this grand empire strife."

 

After saying the oath, Rowan stands to the side to let the next noble say their oaths.
