Standing before this council, I understand the weight I shall bear. 

My word is law before power, before legacy, and before blood. 

I solemnly swear my loyalty to iL consiglio, above any and everyone, be that name, city, or crown not sanctioned by the council. 

I pledge allegiance to uphold authority, protect interests, and preserve commanding order. 

There is purpose behind my actions, there is strength in silence, and there is protection in keeping the secrets of this council. 

No love, loyalty, or fear will override my duty. 

Power is a structure that is not given but enforced. 

Betrayal is final, and I understand that any faltering to this oath will require me to answer for my actions. 

I pledge my loyalty to this council in blood, in silence, and in power.

Power Above All.
