Vow to Duty
And we shall always follow our vows, for the good of our people, for it is our pride and our destiny.
The Vow to Duty is a vow spoken, written or signed by all goverment officials, including members of the Order of Imperial Custodians and Cosmopolitan Constables but also workers of the Royal Institution of Engineering, Royal Mint and other public organisations.
Purpose
The vow is taken by all government officials as a sign of their dedication to their country. It is also routinely used as a motivator for hard times, such as before a battle, operation or court procedure.
Document Structure
Clauses
There is an introduction followed by ten verses, the introduction making witnesses aware of the act, the verses informing of the principles the individual speaking, writing or signing the vow will do their best to uphold.
Historical Details
Background
The framework of the document is based on various codes of chivalry of times before the Tightish Empire. The main adjustments are the removal of any binding to a religion or government, allowing the various verses to be used by multiple countries without modification.
