OATH
NAME: {Roderick Kortrevich | House of Kortrevich }
DEGREE OF KNIGHTHOOD: Marian Knight
AGE: 44
LIEGE LORD: King Andrew IV
CHAPTER/ORDER: Marian Retinue
Do you, Roderick Kortrevich swear now upon the blade of Gaius Marius, the first Hochmeister of our earliest order, that all you say now is true, and that you have come to receive your knighthood?
Response: It is.
The truth is the burden of all knights, one that only the diligent can bear. Will you be true in all things, even if it may lead to your demise?
Response: I will.
To bear this burden, a knight must be strong. Will you be strong of spirit, and resilient to all forms of temptation?
Response: I will.
In order to be strong, a knight must be brave. Will you be courageous against your enemies, and to defend the helpless, even if it may cost your life?
Response: I will.
In order to be brave, a knight must have honor and loyalty, lest he fall to sinful ways. The knight must be above reproach, his honor and allegiance unquestioned. Will you be honorable and loyal to your king, your people, and above all else, to God?
Response: I will.
When you take this oath, you will no longer be a man. You will be a knight, invested with holy responsibility by God himself. Do you accept this burden that God has placed upon you?
Response: I do.
Now for your oath.
Do you swear to be brave, strong, and true, as all knights must be?
Response: I so swear.
Do you swear to be honorable and loyal, to never forsake your vows nor your allegiance?
Response: I so swear.
Finally, do you swear to uphold all which is holy and good, and to honor God in all your actions?
Response: I so swear.
