Covenant of Shadows

Jump to: navigation, search

The Covenant of Shadows is a Delaque gang active on Necromunda. This group preserves the legacies and reputations of legendary figures from the House’s history, such as Yeomag the Eyeless, the Ghost of Gothrul, and the Shiver Twins.[1]

Members of the Covenant adopt these personas so completely — changing their behaviour and even their appearance — such that many believe them to be psykers channelling the spirits of the dead. In reality, they are Psy-Gheists, individuals deeply connected to the Psychoterica, a realm that allows them to tap into the dormant consciousness of the Silent Ones. Through this link, they seemingly resurrect the personalities and minds of deceased figures.[1]

However, their connection extends to the Silent Ones themselves—ancient and alien minds whose motives remain unfathomable. When these entities take control of the gang, they instil fear even in the Delaque Star Chamber.[1]
