2nd Helena Livery Board, 1772      

           

           

           

   

                Having been elected as Lord Mayor by popular vote of the citizenry of the Imperial City of Helena, Grouch Carrington takes the stand alongside the City Clerk. As the Livery Masters find their seats in Varoche Hall, he begins at once.            

                “Honorable Masters, first, the roll!         

“The Lord Mayor of Helena, Grouch Carrington!

As is our obligation at the beginning of every livery board, each Livery Master must recite the ancient Nauzican Oath of fealty to the Crown in order to sit.”   

           

Grouch raises his hand as he stands alongside the City Clerk before the lectern, imploring all of his colleagues to follow suit: at once the Livery Masters rise, as individual assistants scramble to provide their superiors with the proper paperwork. Once all were ready, they collectively spoke:            

                                                   

                ”I swear to be true to the Emperor and the realm and not to maintain silence about any evil that I may know which is being contemplated against them. I swear to work tirelessly to the betterment of the Empire and the Orenian people that comprise it. I swear also not to eat or drink with traitors and not to have anything in common with them, and always to defend the honor of the gentlemen I serve. This I swear by the Holy Scrolls.”

 

Grouch sits and helps himself to a nice ale as he leads the livery guilds to discuss issues of budget & term goals.
