The Vows are recited from the Büq o' Ksadowce by Korrui 13-year-olds during their Spanllas and are again recited by both bride and groom at a traditional Korrui wedding. Vows of Korrui are as follows:
"On my soul I vow
To never fight back until I or another have been stuck,
To do all within my power to keep every living thing out of pain's way,
To think of the wellbeing and not the comfort, of others before I think of myself at all times,
To never let pride keep me from gain,
To never steal,
To always repay all my debts owed once able,
To always respect every living thing as I respect myself,
To never treat any living thing as anymore or less than an equal,
To protect my chosen family,
To always choose the lesser of two evils,
To always trying too find the path of least harm,
To tell lies only when necessary in order too protect another living thing from death,
To never willingly choose to give up what I cannot bear to lose,
To never cry for things I had not fought to keep,
To never bring my own, my friends', or chosen family's downfall,
To never judge others,
To defend others from untrue accusations,
To be kind to all,
To be calm in the face of danger,
To be brave when I or others feel fear,
To be courageous in all I do,
To be honorable in the way I live and treat others."
