	The Year was 1997. Their Excellencies of Bonwicke ([[Alaric Drake]] and [[Kayleigh Drake]]) had taken a small entourage to the event of Candlemas as their first Kingdom event after being made the new Baron and Baroness. One if their members from the Barony had yet to take an oath of service and chose to do so at this event.

	Eisen was a long haired, thin courtier, cadet to Don [[Aubrey de Baudricourt\|Aubri]] and an apprentice to Mistress [[Muriel FitzLloyd]]. Eisen gathered around all the Bonwickieans, and other friends and family during the afternoon and asked for the Baron & Baroness to join them. Once all was gathered, Eisen took a knee and knelt before them giving his oath of service half in German and half in English. Before all who witnessed this oath, Eisen gave a gesture of faith of his oath by taking ahold of his long hair, wrapped in a silk ribbon in one hand, and pulled his dagger with the other. In one single cut, he removed from his head, the full length of his hair and laid it across the hands of his Baron and Baroness. Shock and awe filled the space around the witnesses, let alone his receivers if his oath and his hair. Tears ran through the crowd and quickly so did a voice of one witness who stated, "Was this supposed to be a blood oath too?"<BR><BR>		Eisen was a long haired, thin courtier, cadet to Don [[Aubrey de Baudricourt\|Aubri]] and an apprentice to Mistress [[Muriel FitzLloyd]].
