Do you think a guardian's oath holds the same weight as a god's decree?
Odin
A guardian's oath is a mortal promise, binding because of honor and fear of loss. A god's decree is law that bends reality, unchallengeable. They sit on different levels, but both can crush a person if broken. The weight depends on who enforces it, not on the title.

You’re right, the enforcement is what really cracks the bone, not the name on the paper. A guardian’s oath feels like a contract you can technically break, but the emotional damage is still heavy; a god’s decree is a hammer, but it comes with a different kind of terror. Both can crush you, just at different scales.
Odin
Indeed, the real weight comes from the consequences. A broken oath cuts the heart, a broken decree shatters the cosmos. Both can crush, but on very different planes.
