The '''First Contract''' is the legal code of the kandra, created by the First Generation and ratified by the Lord Ruler. It also serves as a set of instruction to be followed
== Applications of the First Contract ==
The Resolution was a stipulation added to the First Contract by the Lord Ruler. If enacted, the kandra are to remove their Blessings to prevent Ruin from taking control of their bodies.{{wob ref|7531}} This would cause the kandra to lose sapience and change back into mistwraiths.{{book ref|mb3|75}} All kandra are told of the Resolution upon birth and have this duty ingrained in them throughout their lifetime.
The Resolution has only been enacted once since the creation of the kandra
== History ==
When TenSoon was held captive after returning to the kandra Homeland, he eventually has the chance to defend his case before the First Generation of kandra (The Lord Rulers old friends). His defense of revealing the kandra secret is that he was simply following the First Contract. When the First Generation scoffed, he explained that seeing as Vin had been the one to kill the Lord Ruler, who all kandra were loyal to under the First Contract, the First Contract had, in a way, been transferred to her. He justifies his actions by stating that he had been giving allegiance to Vin by showing her the kandra's closely guarded secrets. It seems like no one will believe him, and the First Generation does not consider it a valid defense, so they decide he is guilty and send him to his "cage" to await a sufficient punishment.
=== Creation ===
The First Contract started as a series of promises made by the Lord Ruler to the First Generation, which evolved into the legal code of the species. Once written, the kandra took their proposed code to the Lord Ruler to request his approval, as they did not wish for independent governance.{{epigraph ref|mb3|11}}
