Oath of the Crossed Blades
Breaking causes a pair of scars are put on the swearer's cheeks.
Where two stand there will be one. I swear enmity unto thee until the setting of the last sun. May my heart cease to beat and my hand lose it's strength should I ever show favor to thee, and the bones of the earth are my witness.
Only trolls and sidhe generally speak this oath; members of the other kith consider it counterproductive to announce one's enmity. Still, there is a certain style to swearing eternal hatred, and the oath serves as a bold step in the intricate dances of court. A fae swearing this oath instantly trades a point of Willpower for one of Glamour, and also has the difficulty of any roll involving his enemy reduced by one. Should, however, the oath be broken, a point of Willpower is lost permanently, and a pair of matching scars, akin to those that would be left by a rapier's point, appear on the face of the oath breaker.
