I Def Tron, humbly come before all to proclaim fealty to the good King Manus Dei of Hyperion.

I and all citizens of Meta swear to honor all orders issued by the King, and to uphold and enforce the Carta Solis and the common law.

I have received a fiefdom to the northwest of Wessex, across the sea, to be known throughout as Ethandun Bay.

I and the citizens of Meta pledge to fight for and defend the Crown, to the best of our abilities. Our people will treat all servants of Hyperion with the respect and honor they deserve.

Our loyalty shall not waver, our honor shall not fade, our courage shall not decline, for our resolve is eternal.
