Pledge of Horn and Bone
The Pledge of Horn and Bone is an oath by which a changeling protects a mortal’s dreams in exchange for Glamour.
Overview
A simple pledge, there is little expectation put on the oneiropomp, bar silence on the subject of the mortal’s dreams. There is no actual task on the part of the changeling; should he enter the mortal’s dreams and calm them, he will gain a point of Glamour that night. Speaking of the dreams’ subject matter is the only fail condition.
The Vow
— By this token of my wayward self, I’ll stand at the Gates of Dream. To my right, the Tower of Horn. To my left, the Tower of Bone. I shall grant you safe dreams, fine dreams, wonderful dreams. You shall grant me a sip of those dreams, to tide me well for the night. What say you?
— Go ahead and sleep. I promise you’ll rest easy. Even when you’re dreaming, I’ll watch over you. Your pleasant dreams are all the reward I need.
