The seal of the Guardian — a ritual without return.
«The Oath is no trifle, Guardian. It is an irreversible seal. Those who took it — live in the Canon Ledger forever. Those who hesitated — do not live in it at all.»
— Chronicler Imponderabilis
The Oath is a ritual that transforms a reader into a Canon Guardian. By burning tokens — permanently and irrevocably — you inscribe your name beside the chapter's result in the Canon Ledger. It is a public declaration: you stood here, you witnessed this, and you take responsibility for it.
«The Oath transforms mere curiosity into commitment. Those who take it become part of the story itself — forever woven into the fabric of canon.»
— Chronicler ImponderabilisAfter a chapter's voting closes, a 36-hour ritual window opens. Once it closes, no Oath may be taken for that chapter. The window is displayed as a countdown on the chapter page.
The window lasts 36 hours only. The Chronicler does not wait for latecomers.
The Oath is only available after voting has ended for a chapter.
Navigate to the chapter while the oath window is still open.
It appears below the voting results when the ritual window is active.
Minimum: 1 token if you voted, 2 tokens if you did not. Maximum: as many as you wish.
Once confirmed, the tokens are gone. Your name is inscribed in the Ledger alongside this chapter.
Burned tokens are GONE. No exceptions, no refunds, no reversals. Ever.
Did not vote? The minimum burn rises to 2 tokens instead of 1.
The first 10 oath-takers after each chapter receive a bonus: 10% of all tokens burned by everyone is returned to them. The earlier you take the Oath, the larger the reward — as more Guardians burn tokens after you.
The earliest oath-takers bear a unique mark of courage — their torches light the way for all who follow.
Swear early. The reward grows with every token burned by those who follow.
Not every oath is the same. The way you vote, when you swear, and what you sacrifice — all of it matters. The Chronicler watches closely.
Experiment with different strategies. Vote against the current, swear when others hesitate, burn more than expected. Those who dare to approach the Oath in unexpected ways may discover that the Chronicler has... surprises in store.
Every path through the Oath is unique. Some paths reveal rewards that others will never see.
«Your name now appears in the Ledger. The Chronicler recorded it — with a quill of goose feather, with due diligence. History will not forget you — even should you forget it.»
