Guild Wars 2

On replaying this, I’m not sure if the oath actually kills magically, unless I missed something. I get the impression that if you break it, the Shining Blade might come after you, that’s all. I also get the impression that when Kerida says “she would die” after revealing secrets, she means it personally. I think she means that if people knew her secret (i.e. that she's Livia), her life would be in danger from various sources.

If you talk to the other Blade members after the oath one of them mentions that an unintended but handy secondary use for it is that, if a member is captured and being tortured for information, they can purposefully try to break the oath as a means of suicide. So it’s definitely intended as magical insta-death.

Just did the “Battle of Fort Trinity” mission myself and noticed the same thing. I didn’t know that the Pale Tree conversation chose a mission for you based on your fear so I didn’t even realise I was getting the wrong missions until Trahearne started talking about Apatia and gave me the “Liberating Apatia” mission at the end. I had to look up who she was on the wiki. I’m not 100% sure which fear I picked during the conversation, but either way I’m getting missions that don’t connect properly.

I’m playing a ranger though, created within the last 2 weeks so it’s not an issue carried from an old character, so I don’t think it’s revenant specific.
