The Count of Kositz invites the present clergyman, Cardinal Qawain, to lead the prayer.

 

“O God, we thank You for giving us another day.

 

We beseech You, bless the members of this House gathered here with the gifts of the Exalted: Horen’s mercy, Owyn’s purity, Godfrey’s justice, and Sigismund’s wisdom. Let that the Virtue should shine through them in the coming deliberations. You are the Most Merciful and the Most Wise: we pray that You keep our nation safe always.

 

May all that is done today be done for Your glory. Amen.”

 

Following the prayer the newly elected Lord Speaker once again rises, 

 

“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.”
