The Covenant
Overview
This faction is made up of vampires. They tend to have strong alliances with the Aristocracy, and the Dark Hand. Solely bent on assisting the Dark Hand with their ultimate goal in resurrecting Salem, and unleashing hell on Gi, they a better known as the lapdogs of darkness, and are said to be utilized much by the dark hand. They reside in the abandoned village of Titanus. They are treated as the scourge of the earth by all races including their more demented counterparts, the demons. The only wish to resurrect the Dark god Salem so that they may be looked upon with favor, and risen in stature, and power so that they may turn the tables on the demonic race, and enslave them.
Origins
Titanus used to be a thriving city, built on the early foundations of Gi. Their main focus was trade and corporation. The more money they could get the better. The local government agreed to set up caravans to trade with other big locations. But their caravans never came back. Until one day, that horrible day, when the town got sacked by bandits. The militia was unable to hold them off, and they could not understand. The militia even outnumbered them, 5 to 1, yet they were still slaughtered ruthlessly. These bandits were vampires, killing machines. The vampires took residence in the village, after everyone escaped. Their leader was once a member of the original Dark Hand, which made him even more dangerous. He later agreed to create a group named "The Covenant", which had much of the same views as the Dark Hand. Their leader yearned for the day of reckoning, and unlike the Dark Hand, have no quirks with letting themselves be known, though they do have a few within the group who are 'nonexistent' as they would say, so that they could carry out their own true goals of gaining ultimate power, and favor with Salem, without the watchful eyes of the Dark Hand.
Goals
Their goal is to raise the dark god Salem, and bring hell to Gi, which will destroy it. The vampires think they may be able to live through the onslaught, or at least have a seat of power by helping bring the dark prince back. They obey orders from the Dark Hand only to link them to many upper class governments, and members of society.
Traits
They are blood thirsty and ruthless. They will do whatever it takes to get their current mission done, and are only used when absolutely needed. The reason why the group hasn't been disbanded yet is because, one, their location is unknown, and two, they are far too dangerous to fight head on. They usually work on missions in groups. They are much more likely to succeed in a group, wherein the Dark Hand likes to operate by themselves.
Alliances
They are aligned with the Dark Hand, mostly, but other evil factions will not bother them. In fact, most factions frown on the way they do things. Not to mention the reason they are doing it. Nobody knows that the Dark Hand is working behind the scenes with them. They think most "pro-Salem" actions come from them. In other words, the Covenant is the scapegoat, and shroud of cover for the actions the Dark Hand do commit.
Locations
They are mainly located in Naroahan, in Titanus. But their reach is quite far. They have smaller groups set up in Damasses, Yaroh, and Girino City. They have a few groups in Espion, in Bastille, Cronte Misto, and Villacoula.
