Covenant, to codify life. To bind and maintain order. It is the unspoken and agreed upon. Oblivion, to be nothing. To lack. To exist in the space between the eyes, lurk and become the unseen. To die, Oblivion. To wake from a slumber to find you have gone blind.
Covenant's birthright is singular in purpose and astronomic in scale: eliminate Oblivion from this world.
