The Covenant is a group of individuals prophesied by the Elder Scrolls to put an end to the so-called "Daedra Wars" ongoing in Tamriel.  Assembled by Lysilde, a priestess with knowledge of the Scrolls' prophecy, it includes various knights, adventurers, Daedric champions, peasant cooks, royalty, and assassins.

At the Covenant's core are the ten individuals prophecized by the Elder Scrolls to save Tamriel from the Daedric incursions through so forging a vessel with the power of the Amulet of Kings.

The Prophecized Ten

The Prophecized are those individuals named by the Elder Scroll that Brother Sophius of the Cult of the Ancestor Moth had read. Seemingly with little regard for status or affiliation these ten are said to be vital in seeing an end to the Daedra Wars.

  • Nyasia al Din: The Queen of Taneth and a wielder of the Shehai.
  • Helian: A young commoner Imperial cook who lived in the town of Bruma with his mother
  • Alvoran Heljarchen: Experienced Nord adventurer and former noble champion who fate had deemed vital to once again help safe the world.
  • Shrava the Wraith: A Khajiit fire mage with a fiery temper to match and former comrade-in-arms of Alvoran.
  • Garran gro-Olugrub: Ostracized half-Breton half-Orc hunter who's cynical and very handy with a bow.
  • Kashya: Quiet, emotionless Khajiit assassin with a dark past.
  • Clodagh: A quiet Nord warrior wracked by guilt.
  • Emile Sauvinet: Paranoid, trauma-stricken Breton veteran knight of the brutal wars ravaging his native land, sadly for him, fate would not let him rest just yet.
  • Mozu: Naive and hopeful young Nord girl that wants to see the world and now given that chance.
  • Midnight (Jin): A mysterious shadow mage with dubious morals that fate had deemed vital to their quest

Guides

The prophecy was read by a Moth Priest who acted of his own accord, sending his student, Lysilde to collect the prophecized ten and asked her to see them fulfil their destiny, guiding them on their journey.

  • Lysilde: young aspirant moth priest tasked with guiding the covenant along on their quest. She holds the entire group together as their gentle leader.

Additional Companions

As The Covenant journeys across Tamriel they meet all sorts of people. Some of them willing to aid them in their quest. Here are some of the individuals that decided to follow the Covenant. They are not mentioned in the prophecy but perhaps their joining was inevitable as well.

  • Runaviel: A mysterious Altmer Warden who belongs to the Way of the Indrik, an order that uses the magic of art to protect the mythical Indriks.
  • Sir Nohaden'Cade, the Augur of Justice: A massive idiot both in stature and in intellect, Nohaden'Cade is a kind-hearted knight but easily fooled.
  • Nemicus: An experienced Imperial seafarer and captain of the mercantile trading vessel: the 'Flashing Blade'. Older brother of the gladiator Graicus.
  • Rosalia de Ferre: A magically inclined woman and Cassian's sister. She cannot cast spells in the conventional manner. Instead she must siphon magic from another source.
  • Shaltaire: Life-loving Alfiq Khajiit. Often mistaken for a regular cat.
  • Reina: A Nord warrior that goes where the wind takes her, lately that wind has taken the form of Vyrine Releth.
  • Gram: A nord fisherman and blademaster without a blade. He joins the covenant after they have gone public.
  • Pip Pegolas: A Bosmer bard and bon vivant who is almost always chipper. His manic personality can occasionally get the better of him.
  • Torus Silver-blood: The charismatic yet practical leader of the famous Companions that hail from the fabled hall of Jorrvaskr in Whiterun.
  • Javier Dantien: A Breton who fell in with the Companions of Skyrim.
  • Hrafninn: A modest knight from Skyrim who carries with him a most peculiar helm.
  • Faustine: A Bosmer kept prisoner by Midnight (Jin). She has her own way of doing things and it doesn't matter who gets hurt.
  • Thos-Grol: An alfiq Khajiit like Shaltaire, but unlike her. Thos-Grol suffers from an inferiority complex because of his tiny cat body.
  • Dancer: A gryphon that has bonded with Helian.
  • Sul: A mysterious stranger from a long long time ago...
  • Clauvis: Protector of Rosalia. Sent to keep an eye on her by house de Ferre.

Former Companions

Not all Companions stay with the Covenant. Either because they only wished to help with a specific task or obstacle or because they were called away.

  • Cassian de Ferre: A young Breton mage and noble on the run seeking refuge with the covenant. Prone to act rashly on occasion. His heart is in the right place but he can sometimes say the wrong thing at the wrong time.
  • Joxle: Rational and seasoned. This hunter and guide knows the waterways of Argonia like the back of his hand.
  • Nothivir: Archer Wood-elf with the Vinedusk Rangers. He helps The Covenant pass through Valenwood without getting lost in the woods.
  • Arvold: A Nord adventurer and mercenary. He briefly lends his muscle to the Covenant at the Miracle of Anvil.
  • Cornelius Lux: Imperial legate of the 12th Imperial Legion under General Drusus Vici, a strict but well versed battle strategist that brought his skills and legionnaires with him to the covenant.
  • Celata: An Imperial member of the Fighter's Guild that fell in with the Covenant after her companions perished on a joint quest.
  • Mildra: A Nord Moth Priest. She is a no-nonsense woman who gets things done despite her failing eyesight.
  • Vyrine Releth: A Dunmer Ordinator that takes her duty seriously. A challenge for her is her need to compartmentalise her duty to the temple and her love for Reina.
  • Borathal: A drowned elf who's a fish out of water.

Deceased Companions

Sadly, not all the companions make it on the Covenant's perilous journey. Here are those that died on their journeys to try and save the world from Daedric oppression.

  • Sir Baldr Olafsin †: A strong and highly disciplined Nord knight who was assigned to protect Queen Nyasia, Baldr was slain by Kismet.
  • Scaldor †: A longevitous Altmer who served Nyasia al Din as her bodyguard, Scaldor died alongside his hated enemy, the Mother.
  • Krem †: Dunmer guide and former smuggler that knew south-east Morrowind like the back of his hand, Krem was killed by Laumer when escaping Tear.
  • Brother Sophius †: The blind mentor of Lysilde and moth priest who has read the Elder Scroll that prophecized the creation of the covenant which would set forth on a most vital quest to safe the world. He met his faith at the hands of Kismet.
  • Haseem al Din †: Uncle to Nyasia and commander of the Keshik, he is wise, practical and loyal.
