 The World
The World is what surrounds you. It’s the city, but not its bricks and
mortar and tarmac. It’s what those buildings and streets mean to the
people who live in them. This covenant represents your growing
connection to those people – your understanding of their desires and
hopes, and their increasingly active participation in your revolution.

Rank
Nurture this covenant when... you take significant steps to improve
the lives of people in a neighbourhood of the city, giving them self-
determination and salving their hurts.
Betray this covenant when... you treat the people who have come to

control around them.

The World
 The void
The Void covets our world. It is entropy and hunger. It is spite and
rage. It is endless, anhedonic consumption that cannot ever be
satiated. It is your enemy, and also the source of your powers.

Rank
Nurture this covenant when... you accept the castle’s power after
ousting a vassal (see Rivers in the Desert), or sacrifice the well-being
of someone you care for while you intentionally call out to the void.
