A letter would be written swiftly in elegant handwriting as it was handed off by courier. A handful of riders in red jackets padded in northern plate Armour rode to the gates of Ard Ghorrock.
The men in Red Coat's would be led by a Mali'Ker who would kneel before the Lord Protector, offering the elegant parchment stamped with Wax Parchment. The Letter would be addressed to the Lord Protector from the Scholar's Society of Skyfall, a once independent realm in the mountains, a place of scholars and peace. The Parchment would read the following hand written by Sarrion in his elegant Mali'Aheral script, the ink laced with perfect jet black ink on a silver toned parchment.
“I, Sarrion Zytiaear, humble subject of the Lord Protector, the Kingdom of Vandoria, and to the future king should one fitting be found, hereby swear the following oaths.
I swear to uphold the Lord Protector’s law and word.
I swear to defend the Lord Protector against his enemies.
I swear to protect all lawful citizens of Vandoria.
I swear that my family and those under me will serve the Lord Protector as well as I.
I swear to speak truth and nothing but truth to the Lord Protector, and shall not tell lies.
I swear to honor and uphold the Vander Code.
By these words I and those under me swear loyalty to the Lord Protector until the end of days or until relieved of my vows by the Lord Protector. May GOD judge my soul truthfully and punish me for my faults.
Signed, Sarrion Zytiaear, Head of the Scholar's of Skyfall"
