Can Someone Help Me Find this Word?
There's a word that I've encountered several times when reading fantasy fiction. I like this word and would like to use it in my own writing. Alas, because I'm hearing the word in audio books, I've no idea how it's spelled. I've looked all over the net using different spellings to no avail.

The word seems to mean a charge or obligation or quest set upon someone that must be carried out. Some readers pronounce it gay us and some pronounce it guy us. Ex. We would tarry with you, my new companions, but the Great Lord Boledon has laid upon us this gayus to find the lost treasure of Thesore, and so we must be gone from here to Sinalot where we believe it is hidden.

Anyone know what this word might be?
The god who allows children to be raped out of respect for the free will choice of the rapist, but punishes gay men for engaging in mutually consensual sex couldn't possibly be responsible for an intelligently designed universe.

I may defend your right to free speech, but i won't help you pass out flyers.

Those who can make you believe absurdities, can make you commit atrocities.
