( If I didn't know better, I'd say you were starting to know me. Oh, and I've played the entire TES series, from Arena to Skyrim thrice over. Don't worry about spoilers. I just wanted a challenge. )

Sit up slowly, considering my wounds and dehilibitation, and inspect Mistveil Keep while attempting to remember any useful detail on my rescuer.

The army is to gather all survivors outside the city, carefully surrounding them in order to avoid escapes. Uthgerd will pronounce Lanius' Pledge of Oath, in which civilians and soldier agree to forever obey Tacitus no matter how questionnable or inhumane his orders are. They also agree to carry out acts of extreme violence when ordered without even thinking of doubting said orders. The Pledge of Oath is also communicated across our territory.

Those who pledge allegiance are allowed to walk freely back into the city and help restore the damage dealt.

Those who refused...

Males and females aged 0-7, are consripted into the army and escorted to Lakeview Manor for training, which will be overseen by Jenassa (Rogue), Nelacar (Necromancer) and Erik the Slayer (Barbarian).

Males aged 8-15, are forced to swallow hot charcoals.

Females aged 8-15, must fight each other until first blood. The Victor bashes her enemy's head against a rock until it reaches the brain. The Victor herself is then tied to her friend's corpse and both are burnt alive.

Males aged 16-21, are crucified to trees, but not before their tongue and eyes are extrapolated.

Females aged 16-21, have their back skinned and laid upon midday rocks, increasing the sensation.

Males aged 22-50, are beheaded.

Females aged 22-50, must decapitate and skin same-age males and wear their upper body skin for three days. By the time they die of starvation and dehydration, their friend becomes their "second skin".

Males 51 and older, are beaten to death by our fresh recruits bare-handed, a demonstration of loyalty.

Females 51 and older, are poisoned to die within 24 hours -- during which they must spread news of what has transpired.
