Oath Sphere

The Oath Sphere is a powerful magical artifact held by Gideon Ashford, central to the signing of the Oath Accords. This ancient, orb-like device is imbued with potent magic that allows it to bind oaths into the very souls of those who swear them. When participants in the Oath Accords took their vows, the Sphere ensured these commitments were unbreakable, etched into their essence, guaranteeing unwavering adherence to the terms.
A crucial aspect of the Oath Sphere's magic is that the oaths must be made willingly. The Sphere possesses an innate ability to detect coercion or force, rendering any oath made under duress ineffective. This ensures that the vows taken are genuine and wholeheartedly embraced by the individuals, fostering a foundation of trust and true commitment. The Sphere's magic draws upon deep, fundamental forces, making it an unparalleled tool for ensuring truth and loyalty.
The Sphere has been instrumental in maintaining peace and stability in Ravenfield City, symbolizing trust and cooperation between the warring factions of vampires and mages. Its presence at the Ashford Library during the signing of the Oath Accords underscored the solemnity and seriousness of the commitments being made, solidifying the agreements into the very fabric of the participants' beings. This ensured that the terms of the Accords were respected and upheld, providing a lasting peace for the city.
Gideon Ashford did not create the Oath Sphere; instead, he embarked on a perilous journey to the realms beyond to retrieve it. This journey tested his wisdom, strength, and resolve, as he navigated through treacherous landscapes and encountered formidable guardians. The retrieval of the Oath Sphere was a testament to Gideon's dedication to peace and his unwavering commitment to ending the Crimson War. This arduous quest not only demonstrated his valor but also solidified his role as the rightful guardian of the Sphere, entrusted with its powerful and sacred magic.
