I don't know who else to tell, or if it means anything at all, but I tried to speak with the Shepherd.
He said he said, "The wolves are the cost of the covenant. Are their claws deadlier than the Manor's falsehoods? Is bloodshed a crueler fate than damnation? My flock is protected by our oath. The wolves are signs that that covenant holds true. Each death is a tithe paid. The wolves are not punishment. They are proof. The fire speaks, and the fire chooses. I do not play children's games. I am simply a host. The Manor toyed with its pawns. But here, the pawns play with fire. Tell me which burns truer."
The commune would make sense. The way he bound us all into our roles. Or perhaps the covenant has to do with either our being unable to die or our now being able to leave the manor grounds.

Itβs certainly in line with his teachings.
What do we imagine the covenant is? The commune? The bonds weβve lost?

Do we know anyone well, who stayed behind? I wonder if anything has changed for them there.
