  "body": "What the Seven trade in. Their power is not given, it is bought, and the only coin is blood \u2014 the more, and the more wrongly spilled, the better the rate. A killing floor, a sacrifice, a murder done in a lord's name feeds the king it is offered to. A mortal willing to strike that bargain becomes what the Margreave calls bloodsworn: sworn to one of the Seven, marked by it, and able to spend a thread of its power the way the faithful spend the Warden's \u2014 a curse laid, a hurt dealt, a thing that should not bend made to bend. The blessing side of it, such as it is, is that a king does not waste ill luck on its own sworn; the price for that mercy is simply the blood, and the blood is never paid once.",
