[Martyrs' Vigil] - A Knight's Oath

After several years of silence since the Knight-Commander´s full withdrawal from most of the greater peninsula, at last The Order´s mounted Heralds set out once more across the Kingdoms and Nations of the Peninsula, yet not with orders from the Knight-Commander herself.
It seems that in her absence and withdrawal, the latest Hand of The Tribunal has taken charge of matters, both for The Order, its diplomatic relations and the Castle-City of Martyrs´ Vigil itself, and the latest flyers and herald-spoken announcement seems to reflect such, for it is a public ceremony that is being announced.

A proper Knighting, as well as an oath-taking ceremony for the latest volunteers in service to The Order, not the standard private affair, but seemingly a whole public festival of sorts.
Most of the details upon the flyer seem to focus primarily on being informational, focusing on travel guides and safety tips depending on the region of the peninsula, although it is lacking a date - with a note mentioning is to be announced later - but one section seems to stand out amidst it all.

"To be the blade of light in the darkness, sworn to strike down the Foes of Man.

To be the armored shield, that protects the realms of Men from the most vile of enemies.
To be the steadfast bulwark, that the Arch-Enemy shall not cross.

To act as the blade of victory, in war.

To act as the vigilant shield, in peace.

And to act as an exemplar through sacrifice and valor, until you can no longer.

And thus uphold the ideals.

A Champion of Honor.

An Exemplar of Virtue.

A Protector of the Weak."

Such is the oath to be sworn, in service to a most benevolent purpose in the defense of another, and in service to the realm.
To those who seek to swear their blade and lives in service to The Order and its ideals?
To those who seek to find purpose, in the duty of Warden and Protector?
To those who seek to start anew, in life or in penance?
To those who seek to better themselves, with Hope, Compassion and Bravery as their guiding ideals?

Send a letter by courier, to the First and Last Lazarus in service to The Most Blessed Tribunal for the Everyman,  stating such interest and you shall find a spot ready for you, in this ceremony to come.
Questions and answers alike shall find a reply.

This announcement was brought to you, from the Desk of the Hand of Hope.

In His light we basked, to spread His mercy and protection.

In Her radiance we stand, to spread Her compassion and guidance.

Who shall answer the call of duty and service?

The Volunteer list has risen.
The letters have been processed.
The Oath is rewritten, to be spoken once more.

A new generation for The Order, with much to come from it and its wings.

The time will come for it all, but a date has been set for the first step, finally appended to the previous flyers.

For the Knighting of Nirav, to a full Knight of the Order, granting him command over a small squad of guardsmen, and the duties of a Knight-Sergeant.
As well as the official processing of any volunteer seeking to join The Order, to be done during this ceremony.
