I, ____, make this oath: that I shall be in the forefront of fierce battle, forging ahead with my lord and friend, coming to the war-call carrying my weapons; and when no battle causes the war-horn to blow, I shall not forget the ring-giver's generosity, but will offer wise counsel as I may. And though I had liefer lay down my life than see harm come to my lord, still should the poisoned point or aged edge strike him down, then I shall not flee a single footlength from the field, but rather shall advance into the enemy army, slaying as I might, to avenge the protector of the people. And by Freyr, and by Njordr, and the Almighty Ase, may this sword smite me upon which my hand rests, may my own edge twist and turn against me should I fail to keep this oath.
Each warrior under the Jarl swears an oath of fealty like the one above. Whether Dane or Celt, mutt or furry, if they are a warrior for the Ulfrikssons they must swear their fealty. If it is broken, the man will be beaten brutally, bones will be broken, flesh mutilated, and they will be called oath-breaker.
