Editing Fate of Duskengrim (section)

==Culture==

'''The Blade Oath''' is a widespread cultural touchstone that has transcended political borders by being celebrated in songs and epic poems. It's similar to noblese oblige--the idea being that anyone who picks up/wields a weapon by doing so is also picking up an obligation to defend those who cannot do so (too poor to own a weapon, too old/young/weak to wield one, etc.). In some of the poems it's a literal oath sworn the first time a weapon is picked up. More commonly it's a notion that people "ought" to behave that way--though of course, people respond in the full range from openly scoffing at how stupid it is, to ignoring it, to feeling guilty when they don't, to trying, to really committing.
