Knight Bachelor
Ranger Captain
Esquire Bastor Sharpeye kneels before the Bishop and presents the lord with his sword. The Bishop takes the sword in his hand.
“Do you swear upon all that is holy, under the radiant light of the Heavenly Father’s gaze to worship Soldeus and maintain His Church? To serve your liege lord in valour and faith? To protect the weak and the defenceless? To give succour to widows and orphans? To refrain from the wanton giving of offence? To live by honour and glory? To despise pecuniary reward? To fight for the welfare of all? To obey those placed in authority? To guard the honour of your fellow knights? To eschew unfairness, meanness and deceit? To keep faith? To at all times speak the truth? To persevere to the end in any enterprise begun? To respect the honour of women? To never refuse a challenge from an equal? To never turn your back upon a foe?”
"I, Bastor Sharpeye, do so swear to protect with faith and honour the responsibilities becoming of my new rank."
