Cul1wen: Agreed
ArkinKardesh: A heavy boulder of the Thentis Mountains of the Tarn Foundries.. .
ArkinKardesh: Would require at least 8 gorean males and lifting equipment to move
ArkinKardesh: Harsh as the Boswell Pass.. . yet segments the origin of Fort Haskins as first build and settled by the High-City of Thentis
ArkinKardesh: engraved on the side dug into the ground the mark of the Caste of Warriors.. . the crossed swords.. . the Caste of Slavers.. . the shackles.. . and the Caste of Scribes.. . the Feathered Quill.. . letting them both see these marks before the Boulder is placed in the ground and the earth stomped tight around it's base in the central Plaza of the Fort.. . as if marking the central spot of the plaza
ArkinKardesh: The Rite of Swearing Fealty to the Home Stone.. . to be performed in public with at least two witnesses.. . One of the Warriors and One of the Scribes.. . and One member of the Council.. .
ArkinKardesh: who shall call forth the one undergoing the Rite .. .
ArkinKardesh: Duty.. . is honouring one's Caste and adding experience of one's Craft and Trade to the Home Stone.. . Does all here vow to do so.. . say Aye in a clear and firm voice of your own free will as testament ..
.
Cul1wen: "Aye!" *Came the voice of the scribe, loudly and clearly it resonated in the plaza*
ArkinKardesh: - the proud Turian Warrior having left the origin of his Home Stone.. . of Turia.. . would take a deep breath as he know would embark on a new journey.. . a Home Stone of his own.. . making along with the two Free beside him.. . one his Free Companion.. . and one.. . he had called brother from the day they had met.. . -
MasterDarkestDreams: Aye! -Came the voice of the Slaver, loudly and clearly-
ArkinKardesh: AYE.. .! - came the clear voice of the Warrior.. . - And I will keep the Code of the Warrior.. . My Home Stone is the Home Stone of Fort Haskins. .. thus renouncing his prior Home Stone of Turia. .. not an endavour taken lightly by any gorean.. . least of all a member of the Caste of the Warriors.. . Fort Haskins is the Home Stone I pledge my life, my honour and my sword to.. . on this day.. . and those to follow.. . declaring myself to be a Warrior of Fort Haskins.. . as Commander of it's garrison and Preator to uphold the law among it's citizens.. . -
ArkinKardesh: Honour.. . is adding your House and the Codes of your Caste.. . to the growth, prosperity and wealth of the Home Stone of Fort Haskins.. . - he looked at the other two in turn.. . inclining his head in respect of them both as they were among the goreans he held as family.. . - Does all here vow to do so.. . say aye. .. in a clear, firm, voice of your own Free will.. .
Cul1wen: *Like earlier, the scribe emitted a loud, confident.. .determined "Aye!", standing proud and tall beside the men as she did so, with her head held high and her gaze focused at the boulder*
MasterDarkestDreams: -The Slaver emitted another loud, confident and determind "Aye!", as he stood proud and tall with his Brother and his Free Companion, His eyes focused on the boulder and his head held high-
ArkinKardesh: - focusing his dark eyes at the boulder. .. the future Home Stone of Fort Haskins and their unity not only as family. .. but as citizens to Fort Haskins.. . he offered the Warrior's salute at the Home Stone proclaiming his answer with pride swelling in his chest.. . for the undertaking they now took as One.. . - AYE.. .!
ArkinKardesh: LOYALTY.. . is swearing your Honour.. . and the efforts of your House, and your Life.. . to the Home Stone.. . with the promise to honour it's municipal laws.. . the regional laws and the merchant laws of Gor.. . by physical display of reverence of Our mutual Home Stone.. . by a public display of affection.. . - with these words the proud Warrior and Commander of Fort Haskins. .. would place both hands and then his lips to the Home Stone.. . in public display of the affection for the Home Stone and it's citizens.. . -
Cul1wen: *She would follow the example set by her Free Companion - as she approached the Home Stone, the scribe lifted her heavy veils so that she could place her lips to the cold stone underneath as protocol and tradition demanded*
ArkinKardesh: - still keeping both hands on the Home Stone.. . he looked from one to the other and inclined his head.. . a genuine smile on his lips.. . as he felt the swelling pride that had once filled him as he had sworn himself to the Home Stone of his origin.. . a feeling he had been without.. . for far too long.. . -
MasterDarkestDreams: -He walked up to the Homestone and would follow the example of His Brother and his Free Companion, He pressed his lips to the cold stone following tradition and smiled as he returned to his place-
ArkinKardesh: Fullfilling the Oath of Fealty sworn to the Home Stone is succeeding in all of the above.. . DUTY.. . HONOUR.. . LOYALTY.. . through unity in thought.. . word and action.. . that is the nature of love and respect for the Home Stone of all citizens so sworn in.. . Respect for it's people and it's laws.. .
ArkinKardesh: MAY WE ALL PROVE WORTHY.. .
