Hagridden Patronage Agreement

This Agreement is made by and between (hereinafter

referred as “Patron”) and

(hereinafter referred at as “The Party”). The parties warrant that they

have fully reviewed all terms hereof and that assent is freely and

voluntarily given to each of the particulars stated herein, as evidenced by

the signatures of the parties below. NOW

Whereas, The Party are mortals in possession of a soul which has not

previously been bartered, exchanged, nor liened against and is accordingly

freely able to offer same as collateral; and

Whereas, The Party desires certain abilities currently beyond their

reach and is willing to enter into this bargain in order to secure same for

themselves; and

Whereas, Patron is a being of extreme arcane might and is fully capable

of granting a portion of said might to certain mortals upon conditions

acceptable to Patron; and

Whereas, Patron is willing to offer The Party abilities in exchange for

the covenants and promises that follow below, and The Party is willing to

accept said abilities on those same terms and conditions;

Now Therefore, for and in consideration of the mutual promises,

understandings, and obligations herein contained, and for other good and

valuable considerations, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged by

each, Patron and The Party, the parties hereto, covenant and agree as

Page 1 of 16
follows:

Section the First

Setting forth the Efficacy and Purpose of the Parties’ Agreement

The Party is not currently represented by counsel, but acknowledges

that they have had the opportunity to consult with counsel of their choice

and enters into this Agreement freely and voluntarily. Patron and The

Party each acknowledge that they are entering into this Agreement of

their own accord and without duress, coercion, or pressure of any kind;

that they have fully disclosed to each other all information pertaining to

their respective capabilities likely to influence their judgment herein; that

they have given due consideration to such provisions and questions, and

understand them clearly; that the arrangement embodied in this Agreement

is in all respects acceptable to them, being consistent with their respective

capabilities; and that accordingly they assent to all the provisions hereof.

Patron agrees to enter into this Agreement in order to expand its

influence upon the Material Plane by the creation of a task force to

further its interests therein. The Party agrees to enter into this Agreement

in order to secure for themselves access to abilities otherwise beyond their

means and capability, to artificially extend his life, and/or to otherwise

subvert the natural order in the pursuit of power.

Section the Second

Being a Recital of the Goods and Services offered by The Party

Page 2 of 16
 It is hereby agreed that, in exchange for the powers and abilities

offered to The Party hereinafter, The Party shall perform certain services

for Patron. Said services are more particularly described as follows:

I. Patron may, from time to time and at Patron’s sole discretion, may

demand that The Party perform certain services and/or complete

certain tasks in the Material Plane. It is agreed that The Party

shall promptly perform said services and/or tasks in such a manner as

to promptly and successfully complete them.

a. Whether any service and/or task has been successfully completed shall

be determined at Patron’s sole and exclusive discretion, but the basis

for such determination shall be communicated to The Party prior to

the initiation of said service and/or task.

b. Patron agrees that it shall not demand the performance of services

and/or tasks more than once per week, with said temporal interval

being calculated according to the prevailing customs of the culture

and plane of existence in which The Party is located at the time the

previous demand was made. The Party may, however, be subject to

more than one service and/or task if The Party has not successfully

completed a service and/or task prior to the issuance of a new service

and/or task. The issuance of a new service and/or task by Patron does

not release The Party from their obligation to complete any

previous, as yet uncompleted, services and/or tasks.

c. All services and/or tasks are to be completed immediately unless

immediate completion is impossible. The Party’s determination that

Page 3 of 16
 immediate completion of a service and/or task is inadvisable shall not

be considered relevant to the possibility vel non of the immediate

completion of said service and/or task.

d. In the event a service and/or task cannot be completed immediately,

then it shall nonetheless be completed without undue delay. Whether

a delay is considered “undue” shall be determined at the sole

discretion of Patron. The Party must, however, be aware of the

existence of a service and/or task and, in the event of previously

impossible service and/or tasks, must further be aware of the

expiration of the abatement of the prompt completion clauses of this

Agreement, in order for any delay to be considered “undue.”

e. All demands for services and/or tasks imposed by Patron shall be

technically possible to complete at the time the demand is made. If

events thereafter transpire so as to render the service and/or task

literally impossible of completion, then the obligation to complete

said service and/or task shall abate for the period during which the

service and/or task remains of impossible. When the service and/or task

is again possible to be completed, the abatement shall expire and The

Party shall thereafter be under the same obligation of prompt,

successful completion as if the abatement had not occurred.

f. Patron shall not, at any time, demand a service and/or task of The

Party that would be contrary to the other terms of this Agreement,

nor that would require The Party to violate any of the terms hereof

as a necessary condition of the successful completion of said service

Page 4 of 16
 and/or task. The Party is released from any obligation to complete

such a task and is indemnified against said failure.

II. Upon The Party’s inevitable deaths, The Party’s souls shall be

forfeit to Patron for a period not to exceed a period equal to twice the

period of The Party’s life that this Agreement is in effect, except as

otherwise expressly provided for herein.

a. The Party agrees that they shall not, at any time during which this

Agreement is in effect, attempt to permanently circumvent the

natural consequence of mortality, i.e. death. This expressly includes

the pursuit of lichdom, permanent settlement on a plane of existence

other than the Material Plane, apotheosis of any variety,

hibernation, suspended animation, transference of consciousness,

golemification, creation of a phylactery, and any and all other

methods of immortality, whether they be natural or unnatural,

magical or mundane, planar or extraplanar. Any violation of this

sub-paragraph shall release Patron from any obligations otherwise

imposed by the immediately following sub-paragraph.

b. Patron agrees, unless this sub-paragraph has been voided by operation

of the immediately preceding sub-paragraph, not to take any active

measures to bring about The Party’s death. This expressly includes

murder or other method of direct killing, whether perpetrated

directly by Patron or by an intermediary on Patron’s behalf.

Patron expressly disclaims, however, any and all liability under

this sub-paragraph for The Party’s deaths as a result of performing

Page 5 of 16
 tasks and/or services as otherwise authorized and required by this

Agreement.

c. During said period of forfeiture, The Party’s souls shall be in a

state of undead thralldom and shall be subject to strict obeisance to

any command of Patron or Patron’s authorized representatives. The

Party hereby expressly forfeits any pretense of free will during the

period of thralldom. Any attempt by The Party during the period

of thralldom to assert free will or otherwise act contrary to the

directives of Patron or Patron’s authorized representatives shall

immediately forfeit The Party’s souls in perpetuity and The Party

shall then be subject to eternal damnation, the terms of which are

covered by separate agreement, the acceptance of which The Party

hereby acknowledges.

d. The period of soul forfeiture may be extended by the parties hereto

upon mutual agreement, which must be set forth in writing and

executed with the same formalities as this Agreement in order to be

binding upon either party.

III. The Party warrants that they will at all times seek to either actively

further Patron’s interests or to take an action that will have no

adverse impact upon Patron’s interests. If warned by Patron

against taking a particular course of action, The Party hereby

expressly agrees not to take said course of action. Said warning

shall not constitute a demand for service and/or tasks as detailed

hereinabove.

 Section the Third
Wherein is stated the Consideration provided
for the Services described above

As non-monetary compensation for the various goods and services to

be provided by The Party, and as detailed above, Patron agrees to provide The

Party with certain ability in excess of any such which The Party may

now possess. The parties agree that an excess of ability in an unprepared

vessel can cause damage and premature death to said vessel, and accordingly

the said ability shall be provided to The Party in a manner consistent with

The Party’s abilities. In addition, the parties expressly agree that

additional arcane power shall be provided to The Party only upon The

Party’s gaining sufficient favor with Patron to warrant additional

power and authority. Patron’s favor may be gained by successfully

completing services and/or tasks demanded by Patron, by defeating

Patron’s enemies, by advancing Patron’s interests, or by any other method

determined by Patron in its sole discretion.

In addition to the consideration stated above, Patron agrees to

entertain certain requests made by The Party. Such requests shall be

granted or denied in Patron’s sole discretion and, if granted, the degree to

which aid is provided shall further be at Patron’s sole discretion.

Permissible requests shall include, but not necessarily be limited to, the

following:

a. Requests for lucre. Such requests should state a specific amount

sought, a specific purpose to which said coin shall be applied, and an

Page 7 of 16
 explanation, if necessary, of how the proposed purchase will further

Patron’s interests. Patron may decide the amount to be granted, if

any, at its sole discretion and shall be guided by the degree to which

The Party has earned Patron’s favor.

b. Requests for answers. The Party may seek the answer to one (1)

question which may be answered in five (5) words or fewer.

c. Requests for material aid. Certain items may be provided to The

Party in order to further Patron’s interests. If requesting same,

The Party shall provide justifications as per the Requests for lucre,

mutatis mutandis.

d. Requests for material support. Patron has many clients and others

who own it fealty and Patron may direct such individuals to aid

The Party if an appropriate application is made and sufficiently

justified.

Section the Fourth

Providing the Compensation to be paid
by Patron for Violations and Breaches of Covenants

If Patron violates any portion of this Agreement then The Party

shall be released from any further obligation imposed hereby. The Party

shall be permitted to retain any abilities previously granted by Patron, but

Patron shall be under no obligation to provide any additional abilities

unless a new agreement is executed between the parties to that effect. The

Party may waive this provision and continue in Patron’s service at The

Page 8 of 16
Party’s discretion.

In addition, if Patron’s violation results in physical harm to The

Party, then compensation shall be provided as follows:

a. Loss of Property. If Patron’s violation results in loss of The

Party’s property then Patron shall use all means at its disposal to

secure return of said property, or other property of equivalent power

and value, to The Party.

b. Non-lethal Injury. Patron shall ensure that an affiliated cleric

seeks out The Party promptly and uses all healing magic available to

him or her such that any damage and adverse condition suffered by

The Party as a result of Patron’s violation is cured. This shall

include healing magics, spells of restoration, and/or the casting of a

Heal spell.

c. Loss of Life. Patron shall direct a powerful cleric to cast True

Resurrection upon The Party, or if none can be reasonably found

sufficient to the task, then Patron shall direct others to bring The

Party’s remains to a powerful cleric in order for said spell to be cast.

The preceding penalties shall not apply to any loss of property, non-

lethal injury, or death suffered by The Party unless as the direct result of

Patron’s actions. Any such losses incurred by The Party in the pursuit

of any service and/or task demanded by Patron are expressly excluded from

indemnification under this section and shall be solely borne by The Party.

Liability hereunder shall be limited to circumstances of knowing breach

by Patron of an express and mandatory clause hereof and under no

Page 9 of 16
circumstances shall Patron’s exercise of discretion granted hereby be

considered a breach of the terms hereof.

Section the Fifth

Stating the Penalties imposed on The Party
for Violations and Breaches of this Agreement

Upon Patron’s determination that The Party has violated any of the

terms and/or conditions of this Agreement then The Party shall be liable

to punitive terms as described herein.

On a first minor violation, The Party shall forfeit 100 life pieces to

Patron and 10% of the The Party’s life energy shall be turned over to

Patron for punishment. Said punishment shall last for one day, at the end

of which The Party’s life energy shall be returned and The Party will

remember the punishments inflicted during the period of separation.

On subsequent minor violations, The Party shall forfeit greater

amounts of life pieces and life energy for longer durations, all of which is

to be determined at Patron’s discretion, upon the same terms as above.

If The Party commits a major violation of this Agreement, which

shall include disobeying an express command of Patron, actively working

to subvert Patron’s interests, collaborating with any of Patron’s enemies,

seeking to be released from this Agreement except as expressly authorized

herein, or otherwise subverting the purposes of this Agreement, then Patron

may exercise any or all of the following remedies:

a. Revoke previously granted abilities.

Page 10 of 16
 b. Accelerate the forfeiture date of The Party’s soul to the immediate

present.

c. Cause physical pain, psychological pain, or both to The Party, with

the amount of suffering to be determined by Patron.

d. Imposition of any penalty in accordance with a minor violation by

the The Party of a term of this Agreement.

e. Subject the The Party to damnation, as defined in a separate

document, the terms of which The Party expressly accepts.

f. Demand multiple services and/or tasks be completed,

notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the

contrary.

g. Impose any other penalty Patron deems fitting, so long as to do so

would result in dramatic irony due to the nature of The Party’s

violation.

Any complaint by The Party of any penalty imposed hereby shall be

considered a minor violation, subject to further imposition of penalties.

Penalties for major and minor violations are cumulative.

Section the Sixth

Collecting the miscellaneous Provisions, Terms, and Covenants
incorporated into this Agreement

The parties agree that they have each fully and completely disclosed to

the other the existence and nature of his or her ability to carry out the

terms of this Agreement and to otherwise aid the other in accordance with

Page 11 of 16
the purposes of this Agreement as recited in Section the First. This

Agreement is expressly made in reliance on those disclosures and each party

warrants and guarantees their accuracy and completeness.

Except as otherwise provided herein, each party hereby releases and

forever discharges the other, his or her heirs, executors, administrators,

assigns, property and estate from any and all rights, claims, demands, or

obligations arising out of or by virtue of the parties’ association.

Each party hereby waives and forgives any claim or cause of action

which each may presently have against the other by any reason, and each

here agrees that the consideration set forth herein includes full satisfaction

for any such claim, except for any claim based upon the provisions of this

Agreement or the breach thereof.

All covenants, promises, stipulations, agreements, and provisions

hereto contained shall apply in kind, and be obligatory upon the heirs,

executors, administrators, personal representatives, and assigns of the

parties hereto.

For so long as any portion of this Agreement remains unperformed

and The Party still has obligations hereunder, The Party shall provide a

personal item for Patron to maintain and use as an anchor for scrying

purposes, and The Party further agrees not to resist any attempt by Patron

to scry The Party’s location.

Time is of the essence in the performance of all obligations set forth in

this Agreement.

It is hereby understood and agreed that this instrument shall in no

Page 12 of 16
way be construed or considered as an agreement for the eternal damnation

of The Party’s soul, but that the same is to be considered strictly as an

agreement creating reciprocal obligations, the eternal damnation of The

Party’s soul being but one possible consequence of same, and the same being

the free and voluntary act of each of the parties hereto.

Each of the parties hereto mutually agrees and undertakes to execute

and deliver such deeds or other instruments in writing as herein or

hereafter may be required from time to time to carry into effect fully the

terms and conditions of this Agreement according to the intent and

meaning of the parties.

Any waiver of a breach or default under any provisions of this

Agreement shall not be deemed a waiver of any subsequent breach or

default, or of such provision or of other provisions of this Agreement. If

either party fails in the due performance of any of his obligations

hereunder, the other party shall have the right to impose the remedies and

penalties provided for herein, or to seek such other legal remedies as may be

available to him.

If any provision of this Agreement shall be deemed by a Court of

competent jurisdiction to be invalid, the remainder of this Agreement

nevertheless shall remain in full force and effect.

A modification or waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement

shall be effective only if made in writing and executed with the same

formality of this Agreement. The failure of either party to insist upon

strict performance of any of the provisions of this Agreement shall not be

Page 13 of 16
construed as a waiver of any subsequent default of the same or similar

nature.

Each party hereto acknowledges that each of them is making this

agreement of his own free will and volition, and acknowledges that no

coercion, force, pressure or undue influence has been used against either

party in the making of this Agreement either by the other party of the

Agreement or by any other person.

This Agreement contains the entire understanding of the parties, and

there are no representations, warranties, covenants, or undertakings other

than those expressly set forth herein. All interpretations of this

Agreement are to be made in accordance with the laws of the Interplanar

Treaty on the Interpretation of Soul Contracts.

The captions are inserted for convenience of reference only and in no

way define, limit, or describe the scope or intent of this Agreement or of

any particular paragraph or section thereof, nor the proper construction

thereof.

The parties, in consideration of the covenants herein contained, hereby

cancel, annul, and invalidate any and all prior agreements that were made

between them at any time, whether oral and/or written.

This document shall be deemed to have been drafted by both parties

jointly and accordingly in the event of ambiguity, no presumption shall be

made against either party for having been the author.

This Agreement shall be effective immediately upon its execution by

both parties.
