[quote=@Kho] If he would enforce them then that's that - and you've got a surefire way of involving a Primordial in pretty much anything you want, which is unprecedented. If he doesn't enforce them, then it's interesting that those who are swearing by him are doing so - they clearly think he would. It would have various ramifications if an oath in his name is broken and nothing happens. I mean, I never expected a being like Heartworm to view Amul in such high regard that it would consider swearing by him binding - it certainly would change its view on the world tremendously if that was shaken due to Amul doing nothing, no? As I say, whether or whether not Amul enforces these oaths, we end up with a rather interesting situation. Am I making sense? Is any of this half as important/interesting as I think it is? Three days of doing nothing but read ICs has me more involved with Divinus than with Earth. I aspire towards becoming a Divinus scholar. I will soon be able to quote Conata posts by rote. [/quote] The way I figured it, If you just swear by Amul, you're fairly serious but could be lying. Nothing to enforce you either way. If you do what Vestec has been doing and putting might into it, you're making a binding contract that forces both sides to uphold their bargain or face serious consequences. Whether those consequences include Amul himself, that is up in the air.
