Begin by giving your Oathband a name. For each of the two naming tables below, pick a column and a row, or roll a D12 for each to produce a suggestion. Combining terms from Tables 1 and 2 gives names like: Ashen Host, Hanged Men, Grey Sojourners, Doomed Few, Barrow Kindred, Raven Watch, Mistborn, Flint-sworn, Frost-bound, Cold-shod. Decide how they fit together, or keep rolling until you find a combination you like.
