Oath of the Accepted Burden

The Oath of the Accepted Burden is an Oath to perform a task.

Words

Lay down your burden that I might take it up. The road is long and I swear I shall bear it for you until all roads end. I shall (the actual task is named here), else may the road cease to lay beneath my feet.

Overview

This oath is superficially similar to a Geas and is a promise to perform a particular deed. The type or nature of the task is irrelevant; being anything from a kiss to retrieving the still-beating heart of your enemy. The oath is always made to another and is made to verify the quest desired is performed.

Effects

When the words of the oath have been spoken, both oathmaker and the one promised the task receive a point of Willpower. If the task is not completed they both lose two points of willpower.
