Overview
The Mycomind Covenant is a fungal collective consciousness existing as an independent realm. It perceives time as continuity rather than rupture, making it an outlier in how the Eclipse is experienced.
Narrative role
Acts as a neutral archive and living witness. The Covenant can confirm or contradict other factions’ memories, and its timeless perspective can stabilize (or obscure) contested histories.
Known facts
- Shared memory across hosts; individual bodies are temporary nodes.
- Timeless perception of events; treats BE/AE as a continuous ledger.
- Generally neutral toward external conflicts unless spores/threads are threatened.
Mechanics impact
- Potential save/recall mechanic via spore-linked memory.
- Quarantine or immunity rules in fungal zones; altered AI behavior for spore-bound fauna.
- Stability zones that dampen anomalies or echo events when the Covenant cooperates.
Relationships
- Independent realm status; trades knowledge with select factions (e.g., scholars from Galport).
- Occasional tension with extractive powers (Crimson Dynasty, opportunistic guilds) seeking spore tech.
- Linked to island routes and rare crossings; often mediates temporal inconsistencies near sea lanes.
