=== Oathgates ===
The original purpose of the [[Oathgate]]s has been lost to time, though they are still considered sacred. In the present day, it's believed that the eleven lamps stand for the ten [[Silver kingdoms|Epoch Kingdoms]] and the [[Tranquiline Halls]], while the huge keyhole is "the need for ardents to ignore borders, and look only at the hearts of men".{{book ref|sa2|i|12}}
