Guide to Lower Heaven 4: The Ranger's Oath
From the ranger’s guild* original charter
The Ranger’s Oath
We the gathered, in observance of the Heavenly Ideals of Merit, Logic, and Freedom, do pledge to consider the full Range of options in defense of the autonomous territory of Heaven as defined.
Serving as the activated will of Heaven’s populace, I pledge to:
Ensure Heaven’s borders remain, in deed and effect, impermeable to the influence of outside powers;
Uphold the peace of Heaven’s territory, taking measures to stasify disruptions both broad and specific; and
Convey the terms of the Demarcation to the people of Heaven, in common tongue, to prohibit illegal settlement that may disrupt broad peace in the Valley.
To these ends I pledge my strength and dexterity, now and until my merited end.
Signed this day, 5 Meritoise, Year 243,
Vic f. Fisher
SIN: 1111465345-M
SIN Assigned: 9 Luminor 215
*All new Ranger applicants are required to sign a Oath, which has not changed since the original chartering of the Ranger’s Guild shortly after the Lake War, in Freedomaire Year 36, upon acceptance into the Guild as a junior member.
