: OK, serious question: what is Jul 'Mdama's Covenant? The Covenant between the
: Elites and the Prophets was a truce and a mutual cooperation pact and we
: can be fairly certain that that Covenant is null and void.
: Jul 'Mdama isn't working with Prophets (That we know of) so who is his
: Covenant with? When was it formed?
Yeah I agree in part, but there are also advantages to the old name too. The covenant client species basically saw their lives upended pretty dramatically in some places, and maybe not so much in others--I presume that the end of the Covenant way of doing things could be a slow transitory process in some corners of the world, not unlike the more gradual fall of the Roman Empire tha we usually forget about with all the barbarians and sacking of Rome.
Point is, life under the Covenant was pretty great for some people. Or, as I could see the Grunt beggar in the streets of some slum, living methane tank to methane tank, saying: "Sure we were mostly cannon fodder, but if you survived there was a nice place to sleep and a food nipple waiting back home." The number of groups calling themselves the Covenant is a mess from a branding perspective, but it would also speak to the desire to project a sense of continuance, of stability and legitimacy (much like the Kings that traced their lineage to so-and-so.)
As for another interpretation, Jul might have forged a new Covenant with the Elites he ended up with in The Thursday War.
