Erm... I only object to the use of the word God in those oaths. BM has lots of religions, and unless the user is going to manually input his personal god's name there, it shouldn't be there. Not for the standardized oaths anyway. Unless we can change the reference to God to maybe a reference to the vassal's personal beliefs? - [[User:Bluelake|Ta|i]] 02:45, 10 June 2010 (UTC)

These are some oaths I came up with after reviewing some available primary source material. They are, in my opinion, both too long and too vague. They need to be shorter and more precise, but they need to still leave wiggle-room, and still sound medieval, and still be a real OATH. Criticism welcome. Vellos 18:32, 9 June 2010 (UTC)

I don't think these are too long or too vague. In fact, I welcome vagueness for these. The more opportinities there are for misunderstanding, the better it is. vonGenf 20:11, 9 June 2010 (UTC)
