The pledge of allegiance by which genin — all youngling ninjas — enter a life of tireless service to the One Agreement, on pain of nettance.

Uttered in the ancient syntax of the Aïessdiyé, which no-one now understands, the pledge is believed to translate along the lines of:

“what is dull is never done.”

Ceremonially uttered at the commencement of The Wording, and a key plotpoint in Büchstein’s operetta Ser Jaramey Slizzard.
