Magnus Grey: Good evening! Welcome to the Royal Security Advancement Ceremony! We hold this event twice a year to celebrate your hard work and accomplishments. As spymaster and minister of security, I know your work very well. But often, our work is secret even from the rest of those present. I want to celebrate your work. And I want you to take part. I will mention an battle, mission, or heroic act this group took part in. I would like you to raise your hand if you took part in that operation.

Tonight, we say again the oath of the Royal Spies.

Please repeat after me:

We work in shadows and darkness.
We work in shadows and darkness.
Our tools are intrigue and information.
Our tools are intrigue and information.
Our greatest enemies are lies,
Our greatest enemies are lies,
Yet we often keep the truth secret.
Yet we often keep the truth secret.
Every mistake we make means more than every ten victories,
Every mistake we make means more than every ten victories,
So we remain ever vigilant.
So we remain ever vigilant
United our knowledge is a sharp kryss.
United our knowledge is a sharp kryss.
Divided we die forgotten.
Divided we die forgotten.

This evening, three of our number will join the Order of the Shadow Serpent. Damia Terra, OP Event Thrower, and Zeke Terra, please step forward. Your good work is appreciated. You are an honor to the service.
