* In ''[[SeventhSea 7th Sea]]'', the Eisen have the concept of the ''rucken'' -- which means "back-brother" and is considered the the strongest oath an Eisen can give outside of marriage. The ''rucken'' is someone you can absolutely trust to have your back and vice-versa. Woe to anyone who betrays their ''rucken's'' trust and willingly breaks that vow.

This is where two people (most often two men but can be any sexes, or even more than two people) have made a pact with each other. The reasons for this tend to vary, but most often, it's because one or both of them [[IOweYouMyLife owes the other his life]] -- frequently [[FireForgedFriends in battle]]. From this moment on, they are brothers. Brothers in the sense that they will do anything to protect and, if necessary, avenge the other.
