Jasmine City Pledging to the HomeStone Sept,18,2023

Neptune (NeptuneHunter Resident): Looks with reverence as all present gather around the Home Stone.
Neptune (NeptuneHunter Resident): "We welcome you all, who are assembled this day around by the Home Stone of the City of Jasmine to witness the inauguration of it's citizens.
Neptune (NeptuneHunter Resident): Many words come to mind when we speak the word Home Stone. A few words are Honor, Respect. Loyalty, Integrity and Family.
Neptune (NeptuneHunter Resident): We are gathered here today to pledge or re pledge our allegiance to this Home Stone. We are a close group of like minded people here and by taking this pledge you are now declaring that you are more then that , you are declaring that you are part of this family that is Jasmine.
Neptune (NeptuneHunter Resident): These are a few book quotes:It is said that A Home Stone is a rock. It is often simple, and minimally decorated if at all. It has no intrinsic value, except that is taken as symbolic of the heart and soul of the community that pledges itself to it and is thus invaluable. As a literary tool, it serves to exemplify the dual importance of personal sovereignty and community loyalty.
Neptune (NeptuneHunter Resident): To a City, the Home Stone is what life is to man. While the Home Stone survives, so, too, must the City. These stones are various, of different colors, shapes and sizes, many of them intricately carved. Some of the largest Cities have small, rather insignificant Home Stones, but of incredible antiquity, dating back to the time when the City was a village. Each City has its Home Stone. But also, the simplest and humblest village, even the most primitive hut in that village, perhaps only a cone of straw, will contain its own Home Stone
Neptune (NeptuneHunter Resident): Citizenship in most Gorean communities is not something accrued in virtue of the accident of birth but earned in virtue of intent and application. The sharing of a Home Stone is no light thing in a Gorean city."Slave Girl of Gor Page - 394

Neptune (NeptuneHunter Resident): There is no one Oath that applies to all so Each person may touch the Home Stone, and say or text any words that come from the heart. Anyone wishing to pledge please say aye and come forward, and announce your name and which caste do You declare
Neptune (NeptuneHunter Resident): Those claiming this Home Stone please step forward.
