Oath of Loyal Opposition
The Oath of Loyal Opposition is an Oath sworn by Seelie members of House Ailil.
Words
Although my heart embraces the Summer Court, though my will adheres to the Seelie Code and though my feet walk a different path, my spirit and loyalty lie with the silver dragon of House Ailil. Let not my differences come between my house and me. By the summer stars, by the Beltaine fires and by the moon of the plenty, I swear that my actions shall not harm my house, my words shall not betray my kinship with the silver dragon, nor shall my will cause detriment to Ailil's banner.
Overview
Ailil sidhe who follow the Seelie Code take this oath to affirm their house loyalty. While other Ailil oaths take place at the new moon, this oath generally occurs during one of the full moons of either spring or summer. Although some Seelie members of the House do not feel the need to take this oath, those who take part in the politics of Concordia or who exercise authority within the house do so as a matter of course.
Effects
