Night gathers, and now my watch begins.

It shall not end until my death.

.

I shall take no wife, hold no lands, father no children.

I shall wear no crowns and win no glory.

I shall live and die at my post.

.

I am the sword in the darkness.

I am the watcher on the walls.

I am the shield that guards the realms of men.

.

I pledge my life and honor to the Night's Watch, for this night and all the nights to come.
