Wind-Oaths are promises breathed into hollow bone flutes across the Ohlai Steppe. The breath carries the vow into the instrument's song; as long as the oath holds, the flute plays true.

To break a Wind-Oath is to silence the flute forever, marking the oath-breaker as Voiceless. Simiah tricksters test oaths by playing false notes, claiming the wind itself reveals lies hidden in the tune.
