The Well of Promises is said to be a powerful place under the King’s Seat of the Kingdom of Dundaria in the capital of Odekrick. All the kings of Dundaria take their oaths there, and it has a way of enforcing them or exposing the King as the case may be. The site of The city of Odekirk was built over the top of it, so great was its power.
Capping the Well of Promises was the Chapel Indomitus – a church to the Order of Whelm Indomitus. This was the family’s patron. All ducal bannermen of the realm tok their oaths here, as did the king. The bells of the chapel would ring out when the entire city of Odekrick would go silent for the swearing of the oaths.
General knowledge…
A deep circular shaft cut directly into the earth with sheer sides down to an unknown depth. It has at least been explored to 500 feet, and it has a faint green glow at the bottom that diffuses everything. By accident, an oath was made which echoed for an hour. It was realized that sworn words and oaths of honor could be made and would be enforced. All rulers of Dundaria were required to give their word of service to its peoples.
No magic seemed to be able to operate within it. All attempts to explore it ended in failure. Even those willing to hang on rope that depth would recount a high piercing sound and teeth cracking vibration they could not endure beyond.
