Honor in Words and Deeds

"A liar’s words are lighter than air, but their weight will drown a man."

In the troubled land of Everwealth, a promise is not merely a statement but a binding thread of trust and integrity. Most struggling enough as-it-is, do not favor piling more stress onto their burdened backs suffering from a bad deal because of a few choice words from a deceitful con-man. Agreements, whether sealed with a handshake or a blood pact, are considered sacred, the strength of one’s word often valued more than gold or steel. Breaking an oath is a sin so profound that even the gods are said to turn their backs on the unfaithful. The phrase, "A broken oath feeds the land with shame," is a grim reminder of the dishonor such acts bring, not only to the individual but to their family and community. To keep one’s word, even at great personal cost, is to stand as an enduring pillar of Everwealth’s ideals, a symbol of unyielding fortitude amid chaos.
