[QUOTE="The_Universe, post: 1487875, member: 8944"] The Oath is two-sided. So, if L'Aurel swears an oath to Frarathir, and Frarathir doesn't swear one back, L'Aurel is not bound to aid Frarathir. The same goes for Archonus Bluestar. So, as long as the oath is mutual, it works. If it's not, it doesn't. This is why, earlier, several people noted that EVERYBODY needs to swear the oath. What I think you guys are looking for here is someone to lay out the oath, like: "We shall aid each other in all times of need, til time itself winds down. We shall be like sword and shield for our common purpose. As long as life abides, I swear to be your ally" And then have everyone else chime in with a confirmation, a la Fellowship of the Ring (which was similar to an Oath of Questing), "You'll have my axe!" "My bow!" etc. Does that make a little more sense now? The only person that the oath is really dangerous to is someone who breaks it...they REALLY get nailed with penalties. HARD. [/QUOTE]
