Herein lies the @White Rose: Rule of the Oath.
Let every Sister remember that an oath is not uttered to the ears of men, but spoken before Themis, whose judgment neither slumbers nor forgets. Words given in truth bind the soul more surely than chains of iron, and no earthly power may loosen what the Lord of Oaths has witnessed.
Guard thy vow above thy life. Gold shall tempt thee, fear shall test thee, and those of thine own blood may call thee back to the world thou hast forsaken. Answer them with silence if thou must, but never with surrender. The Sister who bends her oath for comfort has already broken it in her heart.
Speak no promise lightly, whether to king, peasant, or child, for every word freely given becomes a burden carried before the Divine. Better to refuse an oath honestly than swear one falsely. Let thy word be measured, and once spoken, let it endure through hardship, hunger, and death alike.
Should thy Sisters falter, strengthen them. Should they bleed, bear them. Should they fall, carry their oath where their feet can no longer tread. The White Rose is not upheld by stone walls or sharpened steel, but by women whose vows cannot be purchased, threatened, nor broken.
Let it be written in iron: she who forsakes this vow is anathema. To abandon the Sisterhood is not mere disgrace, but a sundering of a holy covenant. Such a woman is Apostate, an enemy of the Church and a traitor to the light. The swift and terrible judgment of Themis shall be visited upon her, and the sword of her Sisters shall not rest until justice is fulfilled.
Stand steadfast. Keep faith. Let no oath perish while a Sister yet draws breath.
