Oath of Silence

The Oath of Silence is an Oath of House Eiluned made to ensure secrecy.

Words

I do pledge this day, with heart and mind and soul, that I will never betray this confidence. Until the stones have crumbled unto dust, and the sea fallen a hundred thousand thousand times from the thundering heavens, this long I will remain silent. When the last star flares and fades in the night sky, leaving naught but blackness and this world is a dream once more, this long I will keep my word.

Overview

Once sworn, the fae swearing this oath can only speak of the forbidden topic at a phenomenal cost to their will and psyche.

Effects

If the oath taker chooses to speak of the topic, it costs a permanent Willpower point plus he or she gains a permanent point of Banality.

Other Eiluned Oaths

• The Oath of Truth prevents the swearer from lying.
• The Oath of Fealty is spoken by all members of the House.
