Dark Covenant of Water

The Dark Covenant of Water could be used to command the Dark Oracle of Water, but each individual only gained one such command. While in possession of the Covenant the bearer could not be harmed by the Dark Oracle, until they said their command of course. The Covenant took the shape of a rusted metal jug. All fluid placed within it became foul-smelling and polluted with excrement. If no fluid was placed within, the Covenant had no power. It radiated the Shadowlands Taint, and slowly corrupted the area in their immediate vicinity while left immobile. Way of the Shadowlands, p. 131
