The Ember & Oath

(The Laughing Chivalry • Flame & Honor Creed • The Silver Laugh)

This is the living faith of the Kingdom of Skarenthyr. It is a sister tradition to the Cackling Dominion’s Book of Coals, but deeply shaped by mountain-hardened chivalric values. The two faiths grew close during the multiple crusades against the Corvidian Theocracy, where Skarenthyr knights and Dominion Flamebound fought, laughed, and burned together.

Core Belief

The world is a battlefield between the Laughing Flame and the Silent Cold. Every soul carries a living ember. True holiness is not quiet piety, but burning brightly while bound by unbreakable oaths. To swear an oath is to forge your flame with another’s. To break one is to snuff out your own light forever. The greatest act is to laugh defiantly in the face of death, protect the weak, and charge forward with joy even when all seems lost.

Veil I – The Shattering Comet (Creation Myth)

Long ago the mountains of Skarenthyr were frozen and lifeless. From the night sky fell a blazing comet — the First Ember sent by the Laughing Flame. It struck the highest peak, shattering into millions of sparks that rained across the land.

From these sparks rose the First Knights — towering figures of iron will and roaring laughter. The greatest of them, Auren the Silver Laugh, gathered the sparks and taught his people the First Eternal Oath: “I will burn so others do not freeze. I will laugh so the Cold knows fear.”

Thus the Ember & Oath was born in fire and sworn word.

Veil II – The Six Eternal Oaths (The Living Code)

Every knight and free citizen learns and eventually swears these oaths, usually during a dramatic public ceremony with roaring bonfires and clashing steel.

  1. Oath of the Laughing Blade “I will raise my sword not in hatred, but in joyous defiance. Fear is the only foe that must die.”

  2. Oath of the Ember Shield “My flame exists first to guard the innocent, the weak, and the land. I am their wall against the Cold.”

  3. Oath of Sacred Brotherhood “Those who fight beside me are my flame-kin. Their honor is my honor. Their ember is my ember.”

  4. Oath of Defiant Joy “Even in defeat, in pain, or in death, I will laugh — so the Flame knows I remained
