Fealor

From old English “fēa” (Loyalty) + “lufu” (Love)

The love shared between friends who fight side by side for a purpose greater than themselves. It is severed (without malice, but with sorrow and clear resolve) if one betrays the bond by turning and fleeing. This love-loyalty is not proven by oath or vow, but by wounds and action.

Coined and defined by Seth Perez van Coller
After all we fought through, the fealor between us needed no words.

He fled. That’s when I knew our fealor was dead.

Not friendship. not duty. Fealor.

We had fealor, until he left me standing alone.
