Covenant: The Blood Eclipse

Once every thousand years, the sky is swallowed by the Blood Eclipse, a celestial phenomenon that signals the Covenant has been reawakened, and the selection of a new Shaddai has begun. Chosen by the world system to rule all realms and command absolute authority over all creation, the Shaddai holds within it the potential to be a protector or destroyer of the world. But this cycle has been broken. Three thousand years have passed since the last Shaddai died. Though the Blood Eclipse has appeared twice since then, no successor was chosen. Without the Shaddai, the world has withered into disorder—fractured kingdoms, plagues, rogue deities, and ancient powers returning from exile. Many forbidden forces have risen in the absence of an absolute ruler. The Covenant, the ancient pact that binds the Shaddai to the world, lies dormant—until now. As the third Blood Eclipse darkens the sky, the Covenant awakens. The world holds its breath—not because the Shaddai has returned, but because the selection has begun. And unlike those before them, this Shaddai will rise in a world full of doubt and division. But until that moment comes, the world will remain on the edge of prophecy and war. The Covenant has risen. And the hunt for the next Shaddai has begun.
