House of Cards

Oath for the Freehold

"The House of Cards is considered safe and sacred for those who have escaped from Arcadia. We will make sure that The Others do not come back for any who have sworn this oath. We shall protect them, as we guard this place, through out the seasons. Those who accept this oath shall be blessed with mental prowess to find those who would attack this freehold, as well as monetary blessings. No matter the season, we will protect you, as you protect us, for a year and a day. Should I falter from this, or betray your trust, may the glamour within me protect me not from your wrath, nor will I fight back, for this is my punishment."

"The House of Cards I hold sacred and true. I will uphold the protection of it, and those Lost who have fought their way back from Arcadia. I will protect it from the Gentry, loyalist and those who work for them. Our safety is needed above all else, be it from them or from those who would do us harm. No matter what season it may be, my pledge to this place will continue on, for a year and a day. Should I falter from this, or betray your trust, may the glamour within me protect me not from your wrath, nor will I fight back, for this is my punishment."
