A geas was a contract with the goddess of Fate. Sometimes one was born indentured, other times it was bestowed upon one as a curse. Because if one did not fulfill the terms of one's geas, one died. It was old magic, the magic of the gods, spoken in the tongues of those who controlled the dragons–and it was supposed to be extinct. Nenia Campbell
About This Quote

A geas is an ancient magical contract that binds the spirit to the service of another. A geas can be one of three types: indentured (one born with it), bestowed (a curse) or one enacted (a self-initiated contract). The type of geas is determined by the intentions of its caster, but all three types are meant to place the individual under the ultimate control of another. A geas can be broken, but only if the caster can be convinced that it is not in their best interests to continue performing their duty.
