My players are getting to the point where they'll be introduced to the Freehold and its Courts soon, and I imagine that swearing of Oaths will follow soon behind. This made me wonder what a Freehold or Court Oath (or Motley Oath for that matter!) might look like?
A generic "I promise to follow the laws of the Freehold, etc, etc..." sounds like a good basis, as that would let the terms of the Oath evolve along with changes in rules/laws, but apart from that I'm not too sure. Anyone have any examples of Oaths that have been sworn in your games?
Also, is it simply a mistake that the penalties for breaking a Personal Oath keep talking about motleys and motley members, while a Motley Oath is described as being a societal and not a personal oath, or am I missing something?
