Mythic Bastionland: Knighting Ceremony

For when a squire "levels-up" to the Second Estate

Samuel James

Jan 10

READ IN APP

This is a simple procedure for a squire to swear the Oath and become a knight.

It requires a seer to lead the ceremony and at least one witness must be present. The squire kneels as the seer gravely states each line of the oath with a small ritual to accompany it.

“SEEK THE MYTHS”

Action: Oil is poured on the head of the squire.
Detail: Wear the oil falls is seen as an omen, like reading tea leaves or animal bones.
Procedure: The referee decides the seer’s disposition towards the squire and how they pour the oil. If uncertain, make a luck roll:

1 - The oil jar falls to the ground. A bad omen.

2-3 - Some oil spills to the ground. Ambiguous.

4-6 - Oil falls into the eyes of squire. A good omen.

“HONOR THE SEERS”

Action: The seer bestows a knightly title to the squire.
Detail: They do so the in a manner that suits their seer title.
Procedure: Roll or choose a knightly title without looking at the contents of the page.

“PROTECT THE REALM”

Action: All witnesses lay hands on the squire.
Detail: Knights may offer wisdom to the squire, guiding them in the way they should go.
Procedure: Go around the table and let each knight speak.
