The Covenant (Contract Keepers)

Summary

The Covenant is the silent engine of the new world, a faction that rose from the ashes of broken kings and failed promises, forging power not with armies or blood, but with contracts so binding and precise they became the new law of the land. Where monarchs withered clinging to lineage and ritual, the Covenant built its dominance through unyielding neutrality: every oath, sale, and chain is stamped with their seal, every **** market and auction house runs by their codes, and every dispute, no matter how bitter, finds final judgment in their courts. Their towers stand at the center of every city, their Inkblades enforce compliance with cold efficiency, and their scribes track the world’s suffering line by line in ledgers that stretch from continent to continent.

Yet this omnipresence is both strength and shackle, the Covenant’s authority exists only so long as every faction, noble, and criminal agrees to honor their neutrality and abide by the rules. The threat of exile, legal ruin, or asset forfeiture holds the world together, but also leaves the Covenant perpetually hostage to the trust and consensus of its rivals. Within their halls, law and identity are sacred, performance and obedience are contractually enforced, and every transaction, of flesh or fortune, is measured, registered, and codified with the same ruthless detachment. The Covenant is not an empire, nor a faith, but the universal referee and accountant of suffering, the last bastion of order in a world that trusts nothing but the weight of ink and the threat of punishment, and if that trust ever falters, their entire edifice would crumble to dust.
