Cog-Bond Ceremonies are marriage and alliance rituals in Aeterron where couples, guilds, or coalitions swap gear-teeth etched with vows. The gears are fitted into public orreries or civic clocks to symbolize shared labor.
If the gears grind poorly, seize, or throw off timing, the bond is considered ill-fated. Many lovers commission redundant gear-sets as "backup" vows, though purists frown on such hedging.
