Kalfou’s Oath
Level-Two Vodoun ritual
A devotee can swear a binding oath under the eye of Kalfou, and even more importantly, the oath may take place between any number of Kindred. Only one of the vampires involved needs to be able to cast the ritual. Each vampire making an oath under Kalfou signifies her promise with a drop of her own blood upon a swatch of white linen.
A promise sworn beneath the watchful gaze of Kalfou can only be broken at a great price. If a vampire knowingly and willingly acts in any way contrary to an oath sworn beneath Kalfou, the loa curses him with bad luck, and the oath-breaker receives a -5 penalty to all actions until his promise has been fulfilled, he dies, or the oath is lifted.
The oath is only lifted if the binding cloth on which the oath-takers’ blood was shared is destroyed.
