Oath (CTL)

Oath is one of the three categories of the Pledges used by the Fae folk.

Overview

An oath involves not simply the declaration of an intention to perform some duty, but the pledge is sworn by one’s True Name, on the name of one’s former True Fae captor (if known) or in the name of a higher power the changeling believes in. Failure to adhere to this oath results in an additional penalty, levied by the Wyrd, based on the nature of the oath. Oaths are actually invested in the names the oath is sworn on; see below for specifics. No name (whether personal name, Keeper’s name or the name of a higher power) can bear more than one oath for any given changeling. Non-changelings do not receive any additional penalties when forswearing an oath; the pledge is bound to the name sworn on by the changeling parties only.
