Oathbound

When mortal strength proved too brief for mortal need, Umbra taught that vows should not end where the body does.

Bond and burden alike were made to endure beyond their first breath, held fast by will so that no promise would fade simply because time demanded it.

Thus the sworn were taught to bind their gifts longer than nature allowed, that devotion might outlast flesh and obligation remain unbroken.

For the truest oath is not the one spoken once, but the one that refuses to die. - Codex Umbra
