The Oath Holds
Oathsworn describes an oath functioning as line-binding, fear containment, return-of-form, and shared endurance. It is not a new public rank and not automatically a separate order.

Atlas question
What returns a trained body to the shape it already swore?
Boundary
The oath does not create strength from nothing.
It returns breath to cadence, hand to discipline, fear to containment, posture to duty, and the knight to the place they promised not to abandon. It grants neither invulnerability nor mind-controlled loyalty.
