The Ten Oaths

Origin
The Ten Oaths, or the Sacred Vows, are Sacrasanctian laws that guide worshippers of the Multi Rami faiths in life and worship. If asked to "speak the ten," or to "vow ten," one must prepare for an immeasurable challenge.

Prior Varin's Interpretation
According to the Sacrasanct, the Ten Oaths were given to the ten kings of Men after the war known as the Secare. The oaths were given to aid humans in living in harmony, and in hopes that no other wars would be sparked in the future by their nations. "'Upon the grave of Aquilane the kings gathered, against the chill of the night, against the silence of darkness. And from the sky descended the gods in all their forms. They pitied the kings, lost in the world without their Queen, the Empress of Endless Lands.""And to the highest of beings the Kings of Men bowed, not daring to bring their eyes to meet their makers. And the gods came forward and whispered to each an oath, that together they may guide the kingdoms into peace and prosperity.'"

Kill not, that which seeks to be part of this world.
Uttered to King Ibatur, son of Ibold and lord of the Arconites and other southern tribes. Given by Menkara and the first of the Oaths. In return, Ibatur cut his right hand as an offering.

Cheat not, for your name is pure.
With humanity on the verge of extinction, the gods intervened and saved

The words were whispered by the gods. One oath to each king.

The kings needed to swear to these vows by offering a part of themselves as a mark of fielty.

I. Kill not.
