Bonds

Bonds are things that are very important to a character. A bond can be mortals, Chancels, cities, items, Familia, Imperators, Anchors, concepts, projects, or nearly anything else. Each character has 20 points to divide amongst bonds. Each bond receives a rating, its Bond Strength, that reflects how important that Bond is to the character. These assignments are flexible, but should not be abused.

Bonds are often kept secret and well guarded. They are the targets of the Nettle Rite, which allow other Powers to siphon off miraculous power by harming that bond in some way.
