The Brother Oath is an ancient oath amongst the dwarves. Such an oath is not taken lightly and is taken very serious amongst dwarves, as it binds the two parties closer than blood. It is said that once the oath is taken anything can be asked of the other and there is no refusing.
Although this oath is important and taken very serious it is an oath bound by honour and not magic. Breaking the oath means to be an outcast of dwarven society forever and the other parties of the oath are bound to chase you until you die. There are some recorded instances where the oath breaking was handed down generations, so even the children chased each other for centuries.
Taking the Oath
It is a very simple ritual, as it is not meant to be proclaimed to the world. A smith must take a fiery coal from a burning fire and say the dwarven word brother "Krikur" and hand it to the others. Most smiths use a simple spell to cool the coal, but every one who has been asked about it denies it, even in a circle of truth.
