The Oath of Loyalty
I am a brother of the Familia Aquilae Ascendtis. I pledge to be eternally loyal to the Republic of Rome, and the House and uphold its values so as to allow our Republic to rise to greater heights.

OOC: some parts, particularly the description shall be modified soon; and I thought the oath idea was a rather good way to give this a "brotherhoodish" feeling.
