The Oath of Crossed Blades is an Oath of enmity for another Fae.
Words[]
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 ever I show favor to thee, and the bones of the earth are my witness.
Overview[]
Usually only Trolls and Sidhe speak this oath. The other Kith find it rather counterproductive to announce such a thing formally. There is, however, a certain style to swearing eternal hatred and this oath serves a rather bold step in the intrigues of a court.
Effects[]
The faerie swearing this oath instantly trades a Willpower point for one of Glamour and from then on has the difficulty of any roll involving their enemy reduced by one. Should they become forsworn he or she permanently looses a point of Willpower and a pair of matching scars, as if left by a rapier, appear on the oathbreaker's face.
