Description

Ancient grove guardians with the oldest written history of any faction. Deeply suspicious of outsiders.

Roots

Holy-rooted. The faction traces back to its Holy founder, Tova Yarrow, one of the eight Holy founders among the 18 Brotherhood researchers (home biome B069 Verdant Abyss). An ancient faction was reshaped by its founder, not created.

Leader

Not recorded. The faction table has no leader field.

Territory

Capital recorded on the civilization table: Ancients' Court in B069 Verdant Abyss, type Deep Jungle City, population 22000. Facilities recorded: Ancient Root Council, Vine Archives (grown from memory), Deep Pact Forge, and Psychotropic Compound Research Hall.

Starting control

Five biome pages name the Verdant Deep Covenant as starting control:

Contested

The faction table gives the Verdant Deep Covenant a foothold in ten biomes where another faction has starting control:

Neutral presence on the civilization table: B002 Glowmire Thicket, B039 Verdant Marsh, and B096 Brassfen Thicket.

Control can change during play, and quests follow whoever controls the biome at the time.

Settlements

Seventeen settlement rows name the Verdant Deep Covenant.
