Jondor strode towards the Oath Chamber. This was the first time a major dispute had broken out since the League had 'invited' him to join as a summoner. No matter. He shrugged his heavy cloak, adjusting the hex tech controls so it more closely resembled that of an official Summoners robe. He leaned Achinus against the wall outside of the chamber and leaned into the heavy double doors,swinging them slowly open with a resonance creak.

"Name?"
"Jondor Horuku"
"Past Allegiances?"
"None."
"Whom will you be swearing for?"
"A better question would be 'who are you swearing against, because that's what's really going on here."
"That's between you and me."

"Bandle City."
The official glanced at the scarred and tattooed mercenary in a odd mixture of disbelief and confusion..
"Sorry?"
"Ruddynip Valley, the land of the Yordles, Hail the Mothership."
"Alright... Wait a moment," the man turned towards a small set of bells, he selected the one with the Paw of the Bandle City Crest and gave it a sharp ring. "Deej Eyrrt will be overseeing your swearing in this afternoon."

Jondor gave a silent nod and stepped aside as he wait for the yordle.
Why Bandle? He could imagine the odd looks of some of his newfound acquaintances, and even Janus. Very little of his past or present connected him with the quaint idealist town. In truth, he wanted nothing more than to cripple Bilgewater. The blasted scum had ruined what little bit of life he had in the slums, and sent him on this near fatal cataclysm of a journey. His survival was of his own merit, and he had nothing but contempt for the slavers and mutineers on that godforsaken spit of land.

An elderly yordle grinned as he entered.
"AH! Mr. Horuku!"
"Yes..."
"Still avoiding the assassins I see?"
"Sorry?"
"Oh, yes, sorry, forgot that was a secret. Is it a secret? I don't know, anyway, before we proceed, why Bandle? I'm sure your style of combat would be much more suited to that of the Freljord, Void, or even Bilgewater."
Jondor bristled at the mention of the faction, "I've spent long enough at the bottom to know when it's time to rise up, and Bandle's time is coming."
"Nice lie."
"It's not completely untrue."

The silver-grey yordle's eyes twinkled, "is that so? Ah, no matter, to begin:

"Do you, Summoner Jondor Horuku, swear to uphold the Tenets of the Institute of War? To report any and all misconduct, misapprehensions, misdeeds, mistakes, missteps, miss fortunes, or other activities that would interfere with the processes of the Institute of War?"
"I do."
"Wait, what?"
"Do you swear to uphold Honor, Dignity, and Respect for your opponents, no matter what, as stated in the Summoner's Code?"
"I do."
"And do you promise to uphold the Virtues of our Faction—Bandle City—to represent us in the most dignified manner possible?"
"I do."
"Then by the power vested in me, by me, for me, and to me, I affirm your Allegiance to Bandle City for the remainder of this dispute—"
Jondor acknowledged the honor with a slight bow.
"Here is your cupcake."

Love the cupcake!

See? This is why you join Bandle City. When they promise cupcakes, they deliver. They don't make you wait.

Aside from Teemo and Veigar I don't even play any Yordles though, and even then I'd rather be playing Nautilus (whom sadly is unavailable for Bilgewater right now)

I don't know what you're talking about, Rin. If a Miss Fortune were to interfere with the processes of the Institute of War, it'd make sense if she was reported.
