THE COURT OF EVERWINTER
Agreement of Gift & Consideration

1. The Court grants the Bearer one boon of comfort, delivered before the next full moon.

2. The Bearer shall not be asked for payment in coin, blood, bone, or breath.

3. The Bearer agrees the Court may witness the Bearer’s joy, grief, and private dreams, solely for ceremonial record.

4. The Court shall not alter the Bearer’s memories, except to preserve the Bearer from undue sorrow.

5. The Bearer retains full agency, unless the Bearer’s choices would endanger the Court’s reputation.

6. If any word herein is unclear, the Court’s interpretation shall be considered the truest meaning.

7. The Bearer may withdraw consent at any time, provided such withdrawal is received with adequate notice.

Bearer: ____________________
Court Scribe: ____________________
By touching the parchment, the Bearer acknowledges that “adequate notice” is defined by tradition.
Mainstream red flag: any clause that says “we decide what this means” makes every promise meaningless.
