Fostering Oath

The Fostering Oath is a pledge by an established changeling to help a new escapee settle into life as one of the Lost.

Overview
Those just escaped from Faerie often are not particularly good at avoiding the attention of dangerous elements. This oath both allows the oathbound to act as a more productive member of a freehold and protects said freehold from enemies that might have otherwise tracked the neophyte changeling more easily.

The Vow
''— Newly torn by the Thorns, you are vulnerable. I offer you my protection. Newly come to the freehold, you are confused. I offer you my experience. Until the season changes, give to me your attention, your effort, your energy, and your promise to hold safe the things I show you, and I vow, on my good name, to do my utmost to aid you in learning what you will need to survive and prosper. Should you betray my efforts, however, may you find the same offer from no man. Choose carefully. ''

''— Listen, I know you’re scared, I’ve been there. I tell you what. You come with me. I’ll put you up for a couple of months, just until you get your feet under you. I can show you around, introduce you to folks, tell you what’s what. You pay attention, give me a bit of a boost when I need it and I’ll do a good job, because if I don’t, folks won’t trust me. You just gotta behave, cuz I’m putting my name on the line for ya. If you don’t put some effort into it, no one else will want to take a chance on ya. What do you say? ''
