    Making a scroll - help on some details please?

    I know the Assassins don't receive a document of their initiation, but I think it'd be cool to make one for a gift. I'm a calligraphy artist and know how to work with vellum and parchment, but I don't know the games all that well. Can I ask for help with canon details? This is what I am putting on the scroll so far:
    *******
    symbol of creed

    Where other men blindly follow the truth, remember
    Nothing is true
    Where other men are limited by morality or law, remember
    Everything is permitted
    We work in the dark to serve the light. We are Assassins

    Herewith do we welcome
    name
    into our Brotherhood

    May he live by our Creed and stay his blade from the flesh of the innocent
    May he disappear from all eyes and yet remain in plain sight
    May he suffer no compromise to the Brotherhood, even by his own hand.
    ********

    I'm trying to keep it general so it could span across any of the games, but no idea who to sign it from. Thinking Hassan-i Sabbah, since he was the first, and add an 'even in death' instead of 'signed'.
    Also, would it be cooler if it was a document for a Master Assassin? Or would that not make sense, considering they've been living all this stuff already?

    Any help/advice/suggestions are very welcome and much appreciated. If it turns out well I'll upload a picture

    It seems alright, sign it by Altair or Al Mualim.

    He wants to make it look like it's from Assassins Creed, the content he is writing looks like something on of them would say.

    The beginning of that scroll is from Brotherhood, Ezio says it. According to you it should be Ezio.

    It's part of the induction into the Assassins, so who ever first wrote it should be the one to sign it, it sounds like something Al Mualim would write.

    Nice idea, just don't forget to mention the three tenants of the creed. The are important to the Assassin Order.

    The other characters can't sign it either then. They're all dead.
