Fifth Joy: Becoming a Full-fledged member of the Laiquendi Order



How joyous it can be, when you move from the recruit ranks to a fully-fledged member; This I had the honor of experience: Moving from a Recruit in the Laiquendi Order, to a fully-fledged member with rights and privileges. I have transcribed my Oath in Tengwar, but I have a Westron translation ready, in case any not versed in Tengwar runes may want to see this Oath for themselves: Here reads the Oath in Tengwar Runes:

Oath of Daerundros; Spoken in the Sanctuary

 

I hereby swear, as a member of the Laiquendi, to give my aid to the Order, to provide assistance to those in need, to stand with them in times of Darkness, and to weep with them in times of Grief. May my music enlighten those who have need of hope, may my healing bring life to those near death. May the Valar guide me through my journey. This I swear, by the house of Linque Are and the Laiquendi.

 

And this is the Oath, transcribed in Westron:

Oath of Daerundros; Spoken in the Sanctuary

I hereby swear, as a member of the Laiquendi, to give my aid to the Order, to provide assistance to those in need, to stand with them in times of Darkness, and to weep with them in times of Grief. May my music enlighten those who have need of hope, may my healing bring life to those near death. May the Valar guide me through my journey. This I swear, by the house of Linque Are and the Laiquendi.

I have no words to express how grateful I am to have joined the Laiquendi Order. I salute Taramthir, Tur of the Laiquendi, and the Cauns. May the Valar bless their paths.
