With its publication, nearly all of the Tarma and Kethry stories were available together in a single compiled volume for the first time.

The story, now available as a solo e-book, is missing from the <i>Oathblood</i> collection due to being set in Elisabeth Waters's world, not Mercedes Lackey's Valdemar. </p><p>The contents of <i>Oathblood</i> are as follows: </p> <ol><li>"Introduction" (1998)—Originally published in <i>Oathblood</i></li> <li>"Sword-sworn" (1985)—Originally published in <i>Sword and Sorceress III</i></li> <li>"Turnabout" (1986)—Originally published in <i>Oathbound</i></li> <li>"The Making of a Legend" (1990)—Originally published in <i>Sword and Sorceress VI</i></li> <li>"Keys" (1988)—Originally published in <i>Sword and Sorceress V</i></li> <li>"A Woman's Weapon" (1992)—Originally published in <i>Sword and Sorceress IX</i></li> <li>"The Talisman" (1990)—Originally published in <i>Sword and Sorceress VII</i></li> <li>"A Tale of Heroes" (1987)—Originally published in <i>Sword and Sorceress IV</i></li> <li>"Friendly Fire" (1993)—Originally published in <i>Sword and Sorceress X</i></li> <li>"Wings of Fire" (1991)—Originally published in <i>Sword and Sorceress VIII</i></li> <li>"Spring Plowing at Forst Reach" (1998)—Originally published in <i>Oathblood</i></li> <li>"Oathblood" (1998)—Originally published in <i>Oathblood</i></li></ol> <p>In the books and short stories, Tarma is a sword-wielding Shin'a'in <a href="/wiki/Clan" title="Clan">clanswoman</a>. Kethry is a magic-user who carries a sword with unusual properties. The nature of this sword, Need, is explored in later series set in Valdemar. At the time of the <i>Vows and Honor</i> books, all that is known is that it is magic, protects female bearers, and can pressure its owner into assisting other women. The overarching goal for the two women is to accumulate resources enough to regenerate Tarma's almost-destroyed clan. As the titles of the books suggest, emphasis is laid on the importance and consequences of oaths in at least one story from each book. The setting of the books is generally in the lands south of Valdemar such as Rethwellan, although there is a brief sojourn in Valdemar in <i>Oathbreakers</i>. Despite limited time in Valdemar, there were references in the first two <i>Vows and Honor</i> books to the Companions of Valdemar which laid early hints to their nature. The introduction of a fourfold deity (Tarma's Goddess) was something of a novel idea at the time of publication. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Kerowyn's_Tale"><span id="Kerowyn.27s_Tale"></span><i>Kerowyn's Tale</i></h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Mercedes_Lackey_bibliography&action=edit&section=10" title="Edit section: Kerowyn's Tale"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>This is a stand-alone novel which connects the <i>Vows & Honor</i> sub-series to the <i>Heralds</i> and other trilogies; it introduces the character Kerowyn, who is the granddaughter of Kethry from the <i>Vows and Honor</i> sub-series. </p> <ul><li><i><a href="/wiki/By_the_Sword_(novel)" title="By the Sword (novel)">By the Sword</a></i> (1991)</li></ul> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Heralds_of_Valdemar"><i>Heralds of Valdemar</i></h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Mercedes_Lackey_bibliography&action=edit&section=11" title="Edit section: Heralds of Valdemar"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>This set consists of the original trilogy, the very first Valdemar books published, and a prequel trilogy. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="Heralds_of_Valdemar_prequels"><i>Heralds of Valdemar</i> prequels</h4><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Mercedes_Lackey_bibliography&action=edit&section=12" title="Edit section: Heralds of Valdemar prequels"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>These center on the Weaponsmaster Alberich (in the first two books) and the thief Skif (in the third book), telling the stories of their not-entirely-voluntary enrollments as Heralds.

In the Five Hundred Kingdoms, the destiny of witches, knights, princesses and such are regulated by The Tradition, a magical force that is one of the primary sources of magic. Fairy Godmothers, Champions, and Wizards are responsible for ensuring that The Tradition is upheld with a minimal loss of life. As with <i>The Black Swan</i>, place-names suggest that these books are set in a fantasized version of late-medieval Europe.

The High Magic and Wild Magic are used by the protagonists, while the Dark Magic is an old magic primarily practiced by a race of demons called the Endarkened. </p><p>There are several types of mages featured: </p> <ul><li>Wildmage - A mage who was given the "Three books of Wild Magic". They can do a wide variety of things, however, each spell has two prices that depend on the size of the magick: A physical price, that usually gets the Wildmage tired but it can get him killed. And the MagePrice, that requires the people involved to do a deed as dictated by the gods of wild magic. Both prices can be shared by other people if they want.</li> <li>Knight-Mage - A type of wild-mage which only appears during the direst of times. Most of their magic is in the ability to excel in the various forms of warfare. However, what comes naturally to a regular Wild Mage often comes with difficulty to a Knight-Mage, as a result of their martial focus.</li> <li>High Mage - A mage who practices "High magic", also known as war magic. They must be trained to use their magic, otherwise the magic will kill them. High Magery involves decades of training of the Magegift to gain mastery, and differs from the Wild Magic in that it is heavily ritualized and requires vast amounts of supporting equipment for all but generally the simplest of spells (unless one has mastered High Magic).</li> <li>Elvenmage - Little information is told about them, but they are similar to Wildmages</li> <li>Dark Mage - A Wildmage or Elvenmage that has been tainted or shadow-touched. Many believed that they were in the right, while others were just greedy. Dark Mages serve the Endarkened.</li> <li>The Endarkened - A race of demons who use a powerful magic which derives power from the suffering and death of others. They were originally Elves who were tainted by "He-Who-Is", the main antagonists in the Obsidian Trilogy. The Endarkened had immortality.</li></ul> <p>All kinds of mages, except the Endarkened, can bond themselves to dragons, creating a mind-link with them and having access to their almost unlimited source of power. Usually both dragon and bonded have to accept the bond, however, Dark Mages use spells to force the bond, so, the dragons used to run away from them. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3
