The Dawnward Compact
Also known as Compact of the Nine Witnesses.
Lore
The Dawnward Compact binds the Company by witnessed consent rather than rank. No member may command the burden for private gain, and no realm may claim ownership of the road once its representative has sworn. The Compact is fragile because it asks warriors, heirs, scholars, and frightened commoners to treat shared restraint as stronger than blood, law, or fear.
