The Sunvault Covenant
The Covenant’s temples are vaults first and sanctuaries second: sealed archives, sanctified reliquaries, and light-flooded chambers designed to expose, categorize, and suppress dangerous phenomena. Illumination is sacred not because it reveals all truth, but because it limits what is allowed to persist.
To its followers, the Covenant is civilization’s immune system. To its critics, it is an engine of sanctioned denial.
Overview
The Sunvault Covenant is a dominant institutional faith devoted to the belief that light preserves order by denying what must not endure. To the Covenant, unchecked resonance, uncontrolled memory, and emotional excess are forms of rot that thrive in darkness, left uncontained, they destabilize society itself.
