It's a brand Sidious Send a noteboard - 18/10/2010 03:24:44 PM
so a random and not super interesting question.....but why does the oath rod (fka a binder or some such) make the person who swears on it appear to be ageless? what is the point of making a criminal's face look that way or even why did they want them to look different from the rest of society? it doesn't make any sense that in the AoL, when civilization was at its peak, they would have branded criminals, so to speak.....


The Oath Rod marked you as a criminal while still allowing you to function in society.

It's not certain whether this was a side effect or an intended consequence of Binding criminals RugbyPlayingAshaman - 18/10/2010 03:48:02 PM 640 Views

Imagine being told you were going to have to swear on this device that will make it impossible darius_sedai - 19/10/2010 04:17:29 PM 521 Views
but why does it take a while to achieve the agelessness then? why isn't it immediate? *NM* mazza3 - 19/10/2010 04:27:41 PM 210 Views
Perhaps it provides time for repentance Sidious - 19/10/2010 04:41:50 PM 484 Views
Does it? moratcorlm - 18/10/2010 06:34:21 PM 563 Views
I believe Sammael notes that it's due to multiple oaths darius_sedai - 19/10/2010 04:05:59 PM 536 Views

why? Side effects usually happen. LadyLorraine - 18/10/2010 10:46:21 PM 533 Views
