Fylgiar's Caul

The Fylgiar’s Caul is an oath of protection for a child.

Overview

Born of the Icelandic myths of protective fairy spirits, this pledge holds a changeling accountable for the wellbeing of a human charge. This, however, only involves fae dangers; the fylgiar in question needn’t protect the ward from, say, speeding cars or mundane serial killers. Additionally, the ward is never told of the true nature of the protection.

The Vow

You have chosen the mortal to be blessed. I am that blessing. Should my blessing break, then I too shall be broken. You will not speak of this, or the chosen ward will suffer by your insolence.
