[!] The newly elected Lord Speaker rises from his seat “As is tradition, at the promulgation of every diet, each lord must recite the ancient Nauzican Oath of fealty to the Crown in order to sit.”

 

“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.”

 

At the conclusion of the oath, the Duke of Helena laid forth the proceeding business of the House.
