POV: Aphrodite
Balance does not move. The world moves around it.
The covenant is established.
Not in the formal ceremony of a founding document or the specific ritual of an institutional founding — in the specific plain way that the covenant has been established since the moment I stood before the surviving wolves and said this world was born in blood but it will live by choice. The covenant is not a document or a ceremony or an institution. It's the principle, and the principle doesn't require ceremony to be real.
No divine rulers.
The specific removal of the framework that has been organizing the wolf world around the premise that divine authority supersedes the mortal world's choice — gone with the command architecture's collapse, formalized through the covenant's principle into the explicit statement of the world the principle describes.
No enforced hierarchies.
