Covenants are one of the big components that have come to World of Warcraft with its newest expansions, Shadowlands. These Covenants make up the four ruling powers of the Shadowlands, and each needs your help.
The Kyrians, Necrolords, Night Faew, and Venthyr all can offer you their special abilities and rewards as you initially work with each one before choosing which one you want to join in the end.
To get some background on each of these Covenants, here is a description of each one in terms of lore:
- Kyrians: The denizens of Bastion, these angelic beings embrace humility and service to their order.Necrolords: Comprised of liches, warlords, and spies, the Necrolord Covenant calls Maldraxxus home. They make up the army that defends the Shadowlands.Night Fae: Guardians of nature, the Night Fae inhabit Ardenweald and shepherd beings through the cycle of life and death. Through their aid, the demigod Cenarius was able to make his return to Azeroth during the events of the Cataclysm.Venthyr: Making their home in Revendreth, the vampiric Venthyr are the punishers of the unworthy, seeking to rehabilitate the sinful souls sent to them by the Arbiter.
When you choose which Covenant you want to join, you will want to consider the abilities they will give you. Each one offers two abilities for your character: a Signature and a Class ability.
Signature abilities
Signature abilities are abilities that any player will get if they join the Covenant. These abilities do not depend on your race, class, or specialization.
Class abilities
The second ability that you will get from each Covenant is dependent on your character’s class.
