Everything Covenant

In Response To: Favorite story within the universe? (Postmortem)

Great post idea!

I've always been fascinated by the history and politics of the Covenant. How it was formed under mutual mistrust, how it expanded into a powerful empire composed of disparate civilizations, how the Prophets gradually increased their bureaucratic control, and eventually how a few poor choices by the Prophet of Truth destroyed it all. Contact Harvest is definitely my favorite bit of peripheral fiction, mostly because Staten thoroughly explained all this backstory.

Also, there's a lot not to like about The Duel, but I do like the idea that the Arbiters were once these warrior kings that the Prophets rebranded as a submissive, shameful role in order to keep them from threatening their authority.
