The Oath of Perpetual Fidelity
I do solemnly swear — by the honour of my name, the integrity of my house, and the trust of those who came before — to serve the Enterprise with unwavering fidelity, to uphold its Charter as the supreme law of this institution, to preserve its capital across generations, and to place the perpetuity of the whole above the interest of any one.
Origins of the Covenant
The Oath of Perpetual Fidelity was first administered at the founding of EATG Global Capital, drawing from the traditions of sovereign fiduciary duty that stretch back to the great institutional houses of Europe and Asia. Its language echoes the covenants of medieval guilds, the charters of early banking dynasties, and the ethical codes of the first joint-stock companies.
The Oath was codified in its current form at the Constitutional Convention of MMXXIV, where it was inscribed as the foundational covenant of the Charter.
