It was the Oath that the first elders made the founding fathers of Diamond Lake pledge and with each season fewer and fewer still hold the oath sacred. The lands that surround the Lodge remain as healthy as we can keep them, but slowly the foulness creeps outwards from Diamond Lake threatening to corrupt even our lands. That is why the city-walkers are not usually allowed into our lands, and those who do enter must swear the oath or do their business where you now stand.[/sblock]</blockquote>
