Changeling Oaths Examples

● perform tasks, guard object, keep secrets

● Best friend and motley pledges, brotherhood and enemies
● Fealty, knighthood and commendations
● Love and marriage
● Adoption and fostering
● Special Oaths

perform tasks, guard object, keep secrets

● Penitent’s Pledge
Religious vow of faith. Must attempt to convert all non-believers and keep oneself pure (As defined
in the pledge itself) or be struck mute. Bonus to persuasion and free Holistic Awareness merit.
RoS 44

● The Oath of the Undoing (The Autumn People, p. 55)

"An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth.

No slight shall go unnoticed, no wound unavenged.
I shall hunt my undying enemy, [name of enemy],
to the four corners of the Earth,
and I shall not rest until either I or my enemy is fully undone.
I shall do everything in my power to reduce my enemy to nothing,
and to less than nothing, with a keen iron blade."

The oath is dire in meaning. The oathtaker gains a permanent point of Banality, and must roll her
Glamour against her new Banality as a target number. Success means she feels the consequences
before she finishes the oath and may cut it off. Failure means she finishes the oath and is subject to
it until it is discharged. If the oath is broken, a point of permanent Willpower is lost, if it is fulfilled,
and second point of Permanent Banality is gained, and the above roll must be made again. This is a
terrible oath. It decrees the destruction of fellow Kithain, which only strengthens Banality. As with
most oaths, this is not the only wording possible, merely the most popular.

● Pledge of Horn and Bone

The basic dream insurance package. The Changeling goes in every night, keeps things running
smoothly and Fae free, and comes out with a point of Glamour. In return, the Changeling must keep
the dream a secret.
Lost 187
● The Reaper’s Pledge
The Changeling does chores for a week in exchange for some Glamour and a daily token of thanks.
Lost 185
● The Secrets of the Dead River
One Changeling shares a secret with another, and can call the listener an ally. The listener gets
bonuses to keeping the secret, but will go permanently mute if he reveals it.
WM 118

“Through your existence My secret is safe with you, this you promise. And I promise to hold
your tongue by dint of my service... or my sword. By the River Styx,
may it be so, lest the wrath of Zeus and the ash of the dead dread waters drown you to a final
death.”

Type: Corporal, Personal Emblem

Tasks: Alliance, Medial (–2, the oathbound with the secret

promises to keep to a one-sided alliance of coming to the other’s
aid when necessary); Forbiddance, Lesser (–1, one of the oathbound
promises not to share the other’s secret)

Boons: Adroitness (+1, the oathbound keeping the secret gains a

+1 bonus to Subterfuge so that he may better hold his tongue – or
lie about it), Glamour (+2 for the oathbound with the secret)

Sanction: Death
Duration: Life

Invocation: 1 Willpower, 1 Glamour

Those who invoked the River Styx in

a pledge were held to their deal — if Zeus
caught a pledge-breaker who had invoked
that deathly river, the god would make
the person pay.
This pledge allows one of the
oathbound to keep the other’s secret.
The one with the secret agrees to help the other in times of need, a one-sided call to aid.

● Forgiveness of the Imp

The Changeling sincerely apologizes in return for a small favor and a promise of peace.
WM118

● Good Neighbors Pact

Both parties agree to stop squabbling for one year and a day.
Lost 188
● The Oath of Guardianship (Changeling, 2nd Edition, p. 211)

"As the sun guards the earth by day,

as the stars by night, so shall I serve Thee.
This my duty I shall not abandon (object) until (duration),
else may the stars close their eyes and sleep."
This is a fearful oath, and those who do not uphold to it are cursed to never spend two nights in the
same bed until a century as passed. The Oath of Guardianship binds the oathmaker to keep a
single object, place, or individual from any and all harm, to the point of ultimate self-sacrifice. There
is no cost to make the Oath of Guardianship, save that extracted by its keeping.

● The Oath of the Long Road (Changeling, 2nd Edition, p. 212)

"I swear that I shall or lose my honor,

that I shall or lay down my sword,
that I shall or Dream no more.
You and the sky are my witnesses, so may it be."

The Oath of the Long Road is the most potent of the oaths known to the common fae. It is the
voluntary acceptance of a quest to be performed, and its swearing is usually sanctified with the
blood of both the oathmaker and her witness(es). It is always spoken in front of one, or preferably
three witnesses. The oathmaker receives an extra Willpower and Glamour point, but there are dire
consequences for failure. Simple failure to complete the quest causes the loss of three Willpower
and three Glamour points. Abandoning the quest all together strips the oathbreaker of all temporary
Glamour and Willpower, strips a point of permanent Willpower, and adds two Banality points.

● The Oath of the Accepted Burden (Changeling, 2nd Edition, p. 211)

"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 , else may the road cease to lie beneath my feet."

Superficially similar to a geas, this oath is a promise to perform a certain deed. The nature of the
deed itself is irrelevant; it could be anything form a kiss to retrieving the still-beating heart of an
enemy. This oath will always be made to another, and is made to verify that a task that he desires
will be performed. When these words are spoken, a Willpower point is gained by both the
oathmaker and the one to whom the promise is made. If the oath is not kept, each loses two
Willpower points.

● The Nanny Oath

"On bended knee, as the sun guards the earth by day, as the stars by night I swear to protect and
care for your children, to serve them until I am relieved of duty, and give my knowledge and skills for
their advantage.
I swear to always be true and keep your and this motleys secrets from preying eyes even as my
service ends, I shall not betray thee.
This my duty I shall not abandon else, may the stars close their eyes and sleep as death claims
me."

● Oath of Secrecy
“As the Mists enshroud mortal minds and Arcadia’s gate stands unfound, so shall I keep close and
secret the knowledge I gain in this time and place. Never shall it pass my lips, else be it the last
thing that passes it.”
Changelings utter this oath to each other under relevant circumstances. It may be one of the most
common and also one of the weakest oaths to undertake – though breaking even this oath carries
the usual penalties.
Benefits/Drawbacks: Oathtakers gain an additional point of Willpower. Breaking the oath costs two
points of Willpower.

Best friend and motley pledges, brotherhood and

enemies

● The Motley Pledge

Finalizes the existence of a Motley in the eyes of the Wyrd for a year and a day. The Changelings
must help each other as though they were family. Everyone get a free skill point, plus 2 dots in a
merit (or +2 to an existing merit). The merit and skill must be the same for all pledgers.
Lost 188

"Hand to hand we stand, and side by side. Though my brother and I may quarrel, none may quarrel
with my brother and not quarrel with me. This is my oath: friendship, assistance and the blessings
that come of both, until the year has spun anew. May our prosperity desert us, and our talents fail
us, should we break this vow of brotherhood. We had our families taken from us, but now we’re
family, bound by more than blood. I swear to stand by each of you as you swear to stand by me, for
a year and a day, and accepting all curses that may fall on me if I lie.perity desert us, and our talents
fail us, should we break this vow of brotherhood. We had our families taken from us, but now we’re
family, bound by more than blood. I swear to stand by each of you as you swear to stand by me, for

Invocation: 1 Willpower (all)

● Brotherhood in Arms
A group swears to never yield in combat for extra dots in weaponry and fighting finesse.
RoS 43
● The Oath of Clasped Hands (Changeling, 2nd Edition, p. 211)
"Blood for blood, bone for bone, life for life,
until only we stride the earth.
My life is in your hands, my blood is in your veins.
Hold me well and I will lend you my strength;
Break your bond and may we both perish.
Friendship I swear to you,
an Oath of clasped hands and shared hearts.”

This oath is never made lightly; these words are only for those who feel a bond for a friend as strong
as they might feel for a lover. To make this oath, the oathmakers' and are clasped around a
double-edged blade while the words are spoken. As the blood of the oathmakers is mixed, their
friendship is reaffirmed and strengthened. Makers of this oath gain a Willpower point when it is
completed, but lose two if it is ever broken.

Ensorcellment and protection of non fae

● The Ancient Pact

Makes a Changeling and a mortal lifelong allies, ensorcells a mortal and obligates the
Changeling to protect his dreams from Fey incursion. The mortal then recieves a 3 or 4 point
merit (Or +2 to an existing one), and the Changeling gets the same, as well as one easy
point of Glamour a day.
Lost 187
● The Fylgiar’s Caul
The Changeling swears to protect the Mortal from all harm regarding Wyrd for the rest of either of
their lives (Not necessarily mundane harm)
WM 118

● Oath of the Rose and Thorn

Ensorcells a mortal for a month, opening his eyes to the fae, but forcing him to keep quiet about it.
Grants the Changeling the right to ask for a single favor from the mortal.
Lost 186

One of the oldest known pledges, this oath is used to grant the Sight to mortals without
demanding overmuch of them, bar silence and a favor. Should the mortal break either
forbiddance or favor, the Glamour granted to him “goes bad”, turning all things fae, even
the most innocuous, to nightmares in his mind.

— By my true name, I grant you sight for one moon. See the things of dream and wonder
with eyes opened like the blossom of the rose. By your true name, you grant me the right
to ask a boon, within the cycle of that moon. Swear that you shall grant it to me, so long
as it does not bring you harm. Swear that you will keep this knowledge beneath the rose.
And let he who is forsworn in this wake to find the thorns of this oath in him. Madness and
ill luck follow you if you are false; I shall grant thee a boon, and be followed by misfortune
should I prove false. Do you agree?
— Are you sure you want to see what’s on the other side? Be sure. Say yes, and I’ll show
you the way to the people who’ve hidden themselves from you all along. You’ll get one
moon, one month. But be sure. Swear it on your name that you won’t tell anyone else, or
you’ll wish you’d never met me.
Type: Oath, True Name
Tasks: Forbiddance, Medial (–2, mortal must not reveal the changeling’s true nature to
anyone, or reveal anything of the fae world); Ensorcellment (–2, changeling)
Boons: Ensorcellment (+2, of the mortal); Favor, Medial (+2, generally used immediately,
with the changeling asking medial alliance of the mortal)
Sanction: Poisoning of Boon, Medial (–2, both)
Duration: Moon (+2)
Invocation: 1 Willpower (both) + 1 Glamour (changeling)

Fealty, knighthood, workers and commendations

● Commendation
The Changeling swears himself to the service of a leader and pays a yearly tithe of Glamour equal
to the leaders' Wyrd, as well as the benefit of the Freehold Blessing, whatever it may be. The
standard oath for joining a Freehold.
CtL 189

● The Knight’s Oath

Like Commendation, but for hardcores. Lasts longer, and with more willingness to die (But not
necessarily be a soldier). The Liege pays the Knight some Glamour every month, the Knight gets a
combat skill, while the Liege gets a sweet one dot merit (Or +1 to an existing merit).
Lost 189

● Freehold's Defender
Oath sworn on the Knight's title to defend the freehold, granting a number of combat bonuses to the
defenders present.
SD 148
● The Oath of Fealty (Changeling, 2nd Edition, p. 211)

"I swear fealty unto you, (ruler).

Your command is my desire, and your request my desire.
May my service always please, and may my sight grow dark if it does not.
As the tides to the moon, my will to yours, (length) my liege."

This is the wording of a formal Oath of Fealty, commonly used as investitures, knightings, and
Sainings. Speaking the words of this oath requires the investment of one Willpower point, and a
formal obeisance that lasts a full quarter-hour must be made. Once the oath is taken, the difficulties
of all resistance rolls against any form of mental domination are reduced by two. Breaking this oath
causes the loss of three Willpower points. In cases of extreme betrayal of this oath, the offender can
be struck blind for a year and a day.

● The Oath of Escheat (Changeling, 2nd Edition, p. 211)

"I take you as my vassal. You are of my house, even as the very stones.
I pledge to hold you, to guard you, and to keep you.
I pledge to honor your service as it deserves, and to reward loyalty in kind.
As the moon to the seas below, my will to yours. I pledge the Escheat to you."

With these words, a ruler formally signifies that she accepts another fae as a vassal. This oath is
commonly spoken in conjunction with the Oath of Fealty, but not always. When these words are
spoken, the speaker loses one Glamour point, and a chimerical gold coin, stamped with her visage,
appears in her hand. The oath is not actually binding until the oathmaker offers, and the proposed
vassal accepts this token. Failure to abide by the terms of this oath indicates a fall from the ways of
true fae honor, and thus causes the acquisition of a Banality point. Anyone currently bound by (and
holding to) terms of this oath, even if it is to but one vassal, gains an extra Willpower point per week.

● The Oath of Crossed Blades (Changeling, 2nd Edition, p. 212)

"Where two stand there will be one.

I swear enmity unto thee until the setting of the last sun.
May my heart cease to beat and my hand lose it's strength
should I ever show favor to thee,
and the bones of the earth are my witness.”

Only trolls and sidhe generally speak this oath; members of the other kith consider it
counterproductive to announce one's enmity. Still, there is a certain style to swearing eternal hatred,
and the oath serves as a bold step in the intricate dances of court. A fae swearing this oath instantly
trades a point of Willpower for one of Glamour, and also has the difficulty of any roll involving his
enemy reduced by one. Should, however, the oath be broken, a point of Willpower is lost
permanently, and a pair of matching scars, akin to those that would be left by a rapier's point,
appear on the face of the oathbreaker.

● Oath of Unity
To [name of the group] I hereby swear my allegiance. I shall never release its secrets and I shall
always uphold what [name of the group] values the most: [short list of the group’s primary goals
and/or expected virtues]. Though I forever stand unique, I commit to [name of the group], for the
whole is the sum of its parts. The wheeling constellations forever bear witness to this, my pledge
and promise. Let the heavens curse me should I ever break trust.
This oath is one of the most widely used oaths because of its template utility. This basic version is
the kind most often employed by motleys and households born of a particular need, crisis, or quest.
(Rarely do nobles require this oath on top of the Oath of Fealty or Retainment.) Oathmakers are
released when the group’s purpose is fulfilled and the members part ways. However, variations on
this oath are also employed by factions and secret societies, demanding loyalty and a means to
punish traitors. The Golden Sickle and Crystal Circle often attach powerful cantrips to the swearing
of this oath that inflict even greater punishment than the Dreaming alone prescribes. The Oath of
Unity’s formal circumstances vary depending on the nature of the group, but usually involves a short
ceremony performed in the early evening.
Benefits/Drawbacks: The oathmaker gains a point of Willpower and enjoys a -2 reduction on
difficulty rolls made to resist any kind of mental domination or intrusion that would expose the
group’s secrets and inner workings. Betrayers of this oath (in addition to whatever the group itself
might inflict upon him) suffer a loss of three Willpower points. Extreme betrayals of the oath can
result in a stripping of all Willpower points and sends the character spiraling into Bedlam.

● Oath of Retainment for workers

I pledge service to you alone, lady/lord. Your needs are mine; your command is my duty. May my
labors always satisfy you, and my feet shrivel and warp should it not. As the wheat and barley
before the wind and sun, my will to yours, my liege.
This describes the formal oath that commoners who serve noble lords undertake. Before becoming
a permanent retainer of any sort (such as thane or steward), most nobles expect this oath before
accepting the commoner into her household. Benevolent and honor-bound lords/ladies will swear
the Oath of Escheat in return.
Benefits/Drawbacks: Once the oath is taken, the retainer gains an extra point of Willpower every
week. Breaking this oath causes the loss of a permanent point of Willpower. In cases of extreme
betrayal of this oath, the offender may develop awful and untreatable cases of gout or even outright
warping of the flesh of the feet, rendering him lame for a year and a day.

● Oath of the Idol

To the heavens above and below, to the great spirit of the earth and gods of the sky, hear my plea. I
beg you to guide me, to use me as your instrument in this world and beyond, and to assist me in
worthy deed. Send you now your most trusted servant, as I am to you. With your patronage and
friendship, I shall serve you to the best I may, lest my flesh fall to pieces and my soul scream
unheard.
This powerful oath is reserved to the aboriginal Gallain: the Nunnehi, Menehune, Emere, Anangu,
and Nahuani. It binds the changeling to a particular spirit, usually some sort of plant or mineral-spirit
but sometimes an animal-spirit. This spirit becomes the character’s personal Totem (called the
Aumakua by the Menehune, Lwa by Emere). Most Totem spirits require this Oath before joining with
the changeling. The oath generally requires a lengthy obeisance (usually an hour), during which the
fae makes offerings appropriate to the Totem he wishes to attract and bind himself to.
Benefits/Drawbacks: Consider this a prerequisite for the Totem Background for aboriginal fae
characters. Breaking the oath, which generally means violating the Totem’s Bans, results most often
in the Totem spirit abandoning the character. Only after proper atonement and at least one full lunar
month can the faerie then hope to attract a new Totem (and it must be a new kind). A serious
violation of the Totem’s bans can also result in the gain of two or more points of Banality.

Love and marriage

● The Heart’s Oath
Changeling wedding.
Lost 190
● The Oath of Truehearts (Changeling, 2nd Edition, pp. 211-212)

"I shall give a gift of myself to thee.

Take it freely, freely is it offered, and until (duration) comes,
thou, (object) shalt have me in thy keeping.
I'm winter, let me warm thee. In spring, let me sate thy passion. In summer, let me defend thee. In
autumn, let me soothe thy fears.
I swear love unto you and pledge you my troth.
May those who watch over love watch over this oath and those who keep it,
and may we never find fault in their eyes."

The purpose of this oath needs no. It is spoken in unison by the two (or more) lovers it binds, and it
takes a point of Glamour from each to craft a chimerical songbird visible only to the lovers. The
instant this oath is broken, the bird ceases to sing, perching silently on the shoulder of the
oathbreaker and now visible to all as a sign of betrayal. In addition, both betrayer and betrayed gain
a Banality point as a result of this cowardly action. On the other hand, being true to the oath grants
one additional point of Glamour from any Rapture the lovers participate in.
Top ↑

● The Satyr Oath of Truehearts (Kithbook: Satyr, p. 25)

"Let the moon and the stars be my witness as I pledge thee my love and take you as my
wife/husband.
I shall hold thee in my heart with the passion of a thousand suns.
In winter, let me warm thee. In spring, let me sate thy passion. In summer, let me defend thee. In
autumn, let me soothe thy fears.
Roam though I may, I shall always return to you and let no other remove your memory from me.
You are my true love and so shall you stay, no matter where my destiny takes me.
Let our hands and hearts be bound, in this, our pledge of love."

This special version of the Oath of Truehearts is commonly used by satyrs. The wording closely
reflects a satyrs free spirited nature and does not bind her to anything that interferes with the pursuit
of her Passion. Most satyrs find the standard Oath of Truehearts too constricting and many refuse to
swear it. This one, while still expressing their deep devotion, does not limit freedom of action.
The oath is spoken either alone or in conjunction with another, depending on the situation. If a satyr
has fallen passionately in love, she might take the oath alone, merely out of need to show the depth
of her feelings. When taken alone, the satyr uses a point of Glamour to create a chimerical ring that
she wears herself. Once the oath has been taken, the ring can never be removed. It shines
brilliantly, visible only to her and her true love. If she ever breaks the oath, however, the ring
appears blackly tarnished to all fae, and her finger turns green. Furthermore, she gains a point of
Banality by disregarding her oath. If sworn alone, the satyr who is true to her oath receives one
extra Glamour point from any Rapture she participates in.
If taken with another, the oath works exactly like the standard Oath of Truehearts. Both lovers use a
point of Glamour and blood to craft a songbird. The bird only appears to the lovers until the oath is
broken, at which point, the bird ceases to sing and is visible to all fae. In addition, both lovers
acquire a point of Banality in result of the betrayal. However, the oath faithfully upheld grants an
extra Glamour point to each of the lovers from any Rapture they have a hand in.

Divorcing
"We grew apart and though we shall never forget each other we are ready to love another.
Let this oath untangle and let us never forget."
Killing the bird.

Oath of Unbound Passions

Drink deeply of this offering. In this draught, find my unquenchable thirst for thee. In this draught,
taste my unbound hunger for thee. I swear unto thee that every moment of every hour of every day
that we walk, dance, sing, and love together, I shall give thee all my joy. Let our bliss forever burn as
brightly as the stars and be the envy of the gods.
True love is not the only kind of love among the fae. Pure and unadulterated lust is not unique to the
Unseelie either. For those fae who do not want to commit to the Oath of Truehearts, but still feel
undeniable and unending love and desire for each other, this oath is more appropriate. As the
description suggests, it is spoken in unison while sharing a large beverage of some sort (wine, most
often).
Benefits/Drawbacks: The oathing lovers both gain a point of Glamour after so swearing. Breaking
the oath, which isn’t done through infidelity (as it would for Truehearts) but rather a failure to
participate wholly in the relationship (“faking it”) causes both oathmakers to lose two points of
Glamour and gain two points of Banality.

Adoption and fostering

● The Oath of Adoption [Troll] (Kithbook: Troll, p. 40)

"As the sea to the river, as the tree to the seed,

as the mountain to the stone, so do I now recognize you to me.
From this day forward, you are of my blood,
of my family and of my hold.
I swear to offer you my wisdom, my love and my regard,
for you will carry my name and my memory when I am no more.
Should I abandon you, I abandon myself.
It fills my heart to call you (son/daughter).

(RESPONSE)

As the river to the sea, as the seed to the tree,

as the stone to the mountain, so do I know recognize myself in you.
From this day forward,
I am of your blood, your family and your hold.
I swear to offer you my respect, my devotion and my love,
for you offer me a home where I have none.
Should I abandon you, I consign myself to lonliness.
It fills my heart to call you (mother/father)."
Top ↑

● Oath of Godsparenting

"In the name of the Gods,

As the sea to the river, as the tree to the seed,
as the mountain to the stone, so do I now recognize you to me.
From this day forward, you are of my blood,
of my family and of my hold.
I swear to offer you my wisdom, my love and my regard,
for you are my family.
If the day shall come when you need my fostering,
I shall be there to protect and teach you everything I know.
Should I abandon you, I abandon myself.
It fills my heart to call you my godschild.”
 ● Fostering Oath
An older, more experience Changeling takes a newbie under his wing, sheltering him and
teaching him how to adjust to his existence as fey.
RoS 43

● Oath of Guidance
As the old to the new and wisdom to youth, I shall share all I must with thee to temper thy fire with
my water, thy storm with my soil. I shall guide thee until our paths part, this I promise unto thee.
Typically, Chrysalids find guidance in the form of an older changeling. This mentor assists the young
faerie out of a sense of obligation and/or compassion. This oath, however, formalizes that
relationship. It is more common among the nobility, where such patrons are often assigned by a
liege. Generally, the oath is considered to be resolved when the mentored beneficiary becomes a
full-fledged member of Kithain society. Both the oathmaker and the beneficiary know when it ends,
because a chimerical owl suddenly appears, takes flight over both their heads, and promptly
vanishes.
Benefits/Drawbacks: Swearing this oath bestows a point of Willpower upon both the mentor and
mentored. Breaking this oath causes a loss of three Willpower points from both parties.

Special Oaths
The Oath of the Unbroken Circle (The Autumn People, p. 70)

“I, [name], vow to King David,

to the kingdom of Concordia and upon my blood on the sword Caliburn,
to fight Banality wherever it arises, to rescue all Kithiain who fall into its clutches,
and stop the depredations of Dauntain wherever possible.
I will not endanger other kithain by needlessly exposing them to excessive Banality,
Except when the Kithain understands the risks and is willing to take them.

The benefit of taking this oath is that a Kithain gains one permanent point of Glamour and one of
Willpower for the time she follows the oath. She may also reduce the difficulty of Social rolls which
pertain to Kithain, chimera, or other creatures of Glamour by two.
The penalty for breaking this oath is a permanent loss of one Willpower and one Glamour. The
kithain also loses any advantages gained due to Rank. The only way to cancel this out is to
undertake a quest of King David's choosing and complete it to his satisfaction within a reasonable
period of time.
To be selected for entry into this order is considered to be a high honor to many Kithain. Many of the
younger sidhe vie for appointment into its ranks, but since King David chooses three new members
a year, plus whenever he needs to fill out losses, it is not often that one is chosen.
