The Margrave, Edmond Guiscard de Rouen, marched towards his courtyard accompanied by his squire, Andrik Uldarik. At long last, Edmond felt Anrik was equipped to undertake knighthood. Edmond had previously explained that squires are knighted on feast days in order to gain maximum prayers as they enter into knighthood. Though feast days meant revels. It was dusk, the night before the ceremony, Edmond and Andrik spent their time in the church, ensuring that Andrik would begin his knighthood on the right foot. Clean and innocent.

 

The morning light arose quickly, where Andrik was sent to attend mass. Then, to approach the alter and take his vows to bind himself to knighthood, submitting himself to honor and upholding it with all his vigor and might. After spending all night and all morning on his knees, Edmond explained the great standards the new knight would be held to. 

 

“Kneel.” Lord Edmond commanded,

Andrik did so, taking his vows and swearing his oaths, lifting his spiritual eyes and hands upwards towards GOD. Edmond girded his sword upon him, signifying Andrik as a Knight of Veletz.

 

 

“Rise, Ser Andrik Uldarik.” Edmond fluttered his hand briefly, gesturing to the Knight to arise.

Having arisen, Sir Andrik readied his arms to serve under Veletz with grace.
