New page

A number of covenant stones were created, which bonded the Stone Giants in a number of ways to the Carkade:
* Covenant of Confinement - limitations placed on where the Stone Giants may dwell and roam
* Covenant of Bondage - specifies the labour tribute requirement of the Stone Giants to the rightful possessor of the covenant
* Covenant of Surety - specifies number of Stone Giants to be given up each year to the rightful possessor of the covenant
* Covenant of Hexspeak - compels the Stone Giant polemancers to wield the sacred speaking stones of war
* Covenant of Impressment - compels the Stone Giants to make war on behalf of the rightful possessor of the covenant
* Covenant of remembrance - compels the Stone Giants to recall their debts each time

The possession of all compels the Stone Giants to recognise the possessor as their one and true ruler - the possessor does not need to be a “rightful possessor”

A rightful possessor are the Carkade and Aves Reva’s true witnesses

There are persistent images of enslaved Stone Giants endlessly turning over the reading stones containing high level spells as part of the ritual that created the Nightmare Children.

		+	** The divinely created granite head of a the Lynx - a magical item that can be used as part of a divination ritual
		+	** A divinely crafted black-white mask that allows its wearer to become a “container” for the Major Arcana as part of a summoning ritual
		+	** A divinely crafted ethereal pinwheel that allows the user to channel power directly from the major arcana
		+	** A Blue Pearl that allows the possessor to enter the presence of Aves Reva following the correct ritual - then vanishes back into the quanti until it reforms at another time (could be past or present)
		+	** Blue Chalk - through ritual and communion allow the user to access elder magic in spheres of nightmare, darkness, manipulation and imagination
