Oath of Ceaseless Striving
The Oath of Ceaseless Striving is a pledge curse which forces the bound to, without stopping, perform a task to completion.
Overview
Unlike mortals, the Lost know well what it means to toil ceaselessly. This curse permits the binder to force that fate on a victim, on pain of the sanction — even for so innocuous a break as to stop for a drink of water.
The Vow
“So help me God, I will not rest until this is done.”
“I wish you well with that.”
