The oats. Errr, Oaths!

Post by Asandra » Tue Nov 09, 2021 11:47 am

Asandra says 'So - you say you are ready. Quick pop quiz.'

Drusa sips at her tea.

Asandra says 'What are the three oats you will swear one day?'
Asandra says 'Oaths even'

Drusa says 'To never lie.'
Drusa says 'To never make a weapon with the One Power to kill.'
Drusa says 'And to never kill anyone myself with the One Power.'

Asandra says 'Close, close'
Asandra says 'You got the gist, but wordings are important'

Drusa nods in agreement.

Asandra says 'The first one is: To speak no word that is not true.'
Asandra says 'Is the lie the same thing as a misdirection?'

Drusa listens intently, soaking it all in.

Asandra says 'Or maybe something said in jest?'

Drusa says 'I would say not completely no.'

Asandra says 'This is why our oath is even stronger'
Asandra says 'Never say anything that is not true'
Asandra says 'Which might still be false, but at least you believe it to be true'

Drusa nods in agreement.

Asandra says 'The second one is: To make no weapon with which one man may kill another.'
Asandra says 'Which strictly does not only involve the One Power'

Drusa says 'So no crafting of weapons?'
Asandra says 'However, asking a blacksmith or other craftsman to make one, is allowed.'

Drusa nods in agreement.

Asandra says 'Though there are SOME Aes Sedai that do feel it goes against the thought of the oath.'
Asandra says 'But strictly, it's allowed.'
Asandra says 'The last one is most interesting'

Asandra says 'Factually it is: Not to use the One Power as a weapon except against Shadowspawn, or in the last defense of my life, the life of my Warder, or that of another Sister.'
Asandra says 'So you are allowed to kill with the One Power'
Asandra says 'It is highly encouraged, when your life is in danger'

Drusa nods in agreement.

Asandra says 'Or that of your warder.'
Asandra says 'If you end up taking one'
Asandra says 'And Shadowspawn is exempt, you can always channel freely on them.'
Asandra says 'Also, as all Seanchan and murders are generally out for your life'

Drusa nods in agreement.

Asandra says 'You're also free to channel on them, murderers being anyone wanted by the White Tower'
Asandra says 'Especially when they are in or around Tar Valon'
Asandra says 'This concludes this mini pop-quiz'
