Oath of the Long Road
The Oath of the Long Road is an Oath made to accept a Quest.
Words
I swear that I shall (nature of quest) or lose may honor; that I shall (nature of quest) or lay down my sword; that I shall (nature of quest) or Dream no more. You and the sky my witnesses, so mote it be.
Overview

This oath is the most potent one known to commoner fae. It is the voluntary acceptance of a quest to be done and its swearing is usually sanctified by the blood of both the oathmaker and their witness(es). It is always spoken in front of at least one but preferably three witnesses.
Effects
The one making the oath immediately receives one extra point each of Willpower and Glamour but there are terrible consequences for failure. Simple failure in the quest means the loss of three points each of Willpower and Glamour. Abandoning the quest totally means the oathbreaker looses all temporary Glamour and Willpower, strips a point of Permanent Willpower, and adds two points of Banality.
