Heart's Oath

The Heart’s Oath is a pledge between two (or more, in what are termed “Vernal Motleys”) lovers that forever binds them.

Overview
Rarely seen among the Lost, the Heart’s Oath is tantamount to marriage — one officiated by the Wyrd itself. In so doing, the Wyrd blesses them with prosperity and increased ability to face difficulties; however, breaking such an oath will bring a terrible fate upon the forsworn.

The Vow
''— These are my words to you. In Winter, let me warm you. In Spring, let me sate your passion. In Summer, let me defend you. In Autumn, let me soothe your fears. Let me be your beloved, and you mine, loving you and no other, til the end of my days. I will be true to you, and you to me, never betraying — by word or deed — our love. Let our hands and hearts be bound, in this, our pledge of love. ''

''— There is not now, and there never will be, anyone for me but you. I swear my undying devotion to you not because it is expected of me, but because I can think of no truer way to express the power of my love. My heart is yours to cherish or to break. Take it, and take me with it, for all the rest of my life.''
