There are many reasons to join the Covenant, but the members are united by their wish to plumb the depths of magical knowledge, their will to wield the power of truly remarkable and dark forces and their belief that mutual protection from those forces is preferable to working as a lone wolf.

In many ways the Iron Covenant view themselves as the finger on the scales, keeping everything in perfect balance, at any cost. While it is true that some of the worst horrors ever unleashed upon witchard society was because of the actions of the Covenant, it is also equally true that the organisation has kept the world from toppling into chaos on more than one occasion. Members of the Iron Covenant believe that there is no such thing as Dark or Light magic, only the right and the wrong way to use it. It has been the Covenants singular mission through the ages to uncover the mysteries of our world and unlock its hidden knowledge. The Covenant’s history is shrouded in mists of lies and layers of deception, and even individual chapter leaders rarely know the true origins of the organisation.

They focus their intentions on the most talented and gifted among witchards, and seek out those with an unquenchable thirst for knowledge. The Iron Covenant is one of the oldest organisations in the world, and unlike most ancient orders they care very little for blood status or lineage. All details about the clubs and their members are well-guarded secrets, and in order to join you must have the right connections or be very, very lucky. They have been disbanded many times in the course of history, but each time some of the members linger and quietly start recruiting again. Some of them are specifically centered around the forbidden and dangerous, and getting caught as a member will definitely get you in trouble. Not all clubs of Czocha convene in broad daylight.
