Blaine kneeled
before the whitestone glade saying prayers to each of the
patrons
of the knighthood. His mind clearing of the thought of what is
to
happen in a few hours and the war that took most of the land
from them. 

Yesterday it was decided he was to be knighted and
honored by having it done
here. Much of the talk was done with
out him being there but it was decided
and now he awaited the
ceremony. 

Slowly the other knights who have made it to Sancrist
began to circle around
the white stone to start then knighting.
Soft chants of solamnic prayers
begin to fill the glade like a
song. 

Lord Railen slowly makes his way along the knights and
comes to stand before
Blaine. He places on hand on his shoulder
and gives a nod. blaines head
looks up as he slowly draws his
sword with his right hand placing the hilt
over his hard and the
blade vertical. 

" Repeat afther me Blaine di Caele" Railen
states in a stern tone. ""I do
hereby pledge to honor the
strictures of this sacred heritage and promise by
my faith to be
loyal to the Holy Brotherhood of Solamnic Knights,
maintaining my
devotion against all persons without deception or
forethought.
Further, I vow to uphold the principles of loyalty,
obedience,
courage, heroism, justice, and honor and to solemnly
and faithfully follow
the edicts of the Triumvirate. I take this
pledge freely, without coercion
or expectation of reward, sworn
in this holy place before our lords
Paladine, Kiri-Jolith, and
Habbakuk, and in blessed memory of those who have
given their
lives to this noble cause. Est Solarus oth Mithas, sifat."


Blaine repeats word for word. slowly he moves his sword to hold
it by the
blade presenting the hilt to Lord Railen. With a steady
hand Railen takes
the sword. Blaine lowers his head as Railen
taps each side of his shoulder
with the blade. 

"arise Sir
Blaine Knight of Solamnia." Railens words ring out loudly.
Slowly
blaine stands and Salutes Railen. Retriving his sword he
claps hands with
railen as the other knights come to welcome the
newest knight.
