Hook

A harvest treaty is failing, and every broken clause turns one field into a different season.

Seed

The World

The Kept World is a round planet where promises have physical weight. A village treaty can move a road, a marriage vow can calm a storm, and a broken royal pledge can turn a border into a maze. Magic is common, but no spell is private: every lasting working needs witnesses, records, or consequences. Merchants, priests, rebels, and rulers argue over who has the right to define a promise while ordinary people survive the changes their leaders set in motion.

Form · Sphere

The Kept World is a naturally round planet with one broad settled hemisphere, deep oceans, and an inland sea that anchors most trade and politics.

Traversal

Travel uses roads, riverboats, caravans, and sailing ships, but major oaths can alter routes overnight and make familiar journeys longer or shorter.

The Ages

  1. The Arrival

    First Era

    Founders crossed the western sea and settled a fertile sphere they believed was empty, bringing their language, farming, and household gods.

  2. The Kept Word

    Second Era

    Communities discovered that sworn promises could alter roads, borders, and weather, so law became the foundation of magic and government.

  3. The Broken Peace

    Third Era

    Rulers learned to weaponize vows, binding armies and cities to impossible bargains until a continent-wide rebellion shattered the old order.

  4. The Open Road

    Current Era

    The surviving states trade, feud, and explore beneath a fragile network of treaties while old promises continue changing the world.

Plot Hooks

The Queen's Last Clause

political mystery

A dead queen's treaty is being fulfilled one clause at a time, forcing forgotten villages to obey laws written three centuries ago.

Ink on the Map

investigation

A printer discovers that a popular almanac contains a hidden promise capable of redrawing every national border.

The Road That Remembers

exploration

A caravan road now leads to places travelers promised they would never visit, including a city erased from every official record.

Witnesses Needed

moral dilemma

A coastal town offers the heroes wealth to witness a vow, but the vow would bind its people to defend an approaching enemy forever.

Secrets

The first settlers broke their own arrival promise, and the planet has been trying to correct that betrayal ever since.

Discovery · Ancient foundation stones bear matching marks beneath several cities.

Impact · The founders did not discover oath magic; they inherited it from a civilization they deliberately erased.

The greatest oaths were never witnessed by people, but by the world beneath their feet.

Discovery · A sealed archive contains contracts written in a language no living scholar can read.

Impact · The old treaties may be commands from the planet itself rather than agreements between mortals.

The moonlike Pale Coin is not a moon, and its orbit follows the strongest vows being made below.

Discovery · The Pale Coin appears reflected in still water before major changes in law or geography.

Impact · The celestial body may be a watching intelligence that rewards fulfilled promises and punishes convenient interpretations.
