Eclipse Covenant

The Eclipse Covenant was forged in the First Conclave when the original Archmages gathered beneath the Mana Nexus to divide the Fort's ley lines among their respective schools. It exists as an ethereal document that can only be fully read during solar or lunar eclipses, when the veil between the material plane and the mana plane grows thin enough for mortal eyes to perceive the true terms of all binding magical agreements.

The Covenant manifests as a massive tome bound in shadow-leather, with pages that shift between silver and gold depending on which school views it. Its covers bear the inscribed seals of all founding covens. The tome hovers slightly above ground as if too important to touch mere earth. Only visible in full during eclipses, it grants its bearer enhanced authority over contested territory and the ability to invoke binding judgments in territorial disputes.

The Eclipse Covenant serves as the ultimate tiebreaker in territorial disputes within the Lakewood Conclave - when invoked, its judgment is absolute and beyond appeal. It represents the accumulated weight of all magical agreements made between rival schools since the First Conclave, making it the most powerful arbiter of magical law in the region.
