As far as I'm aware, they do not, as it has been extrapolated from one of the in-book epigraphs that the Oaths were created/devised by Ishar (Bondsmith Herald. i think you meant him) as the devastation Surgebinders were causing both during and inbetween Desolations kept giving humanity a handicap. We're still unclear exactly what abilities each Herald has as well as what Bondsmiths can actually do but I'd say they don't have anything to do with the Recreance per se but I think they played a crucial part in it's decision.
