The Covenant of Nourished Souls
The Covevant of Nourished Souls is a religious and charitable institution based at the Houses of the Hungry in the city of Klaractazum (illustrated in the image at the head of this article).
Culture
The Covenant has two philosophical positions which are the twin focus of its endeavours and complement one another. To begin with, the Houses of the Hungry, which is the spiritual home of the Covenant, is primarily a centre for peaceful contemplation and commemoration. Although it originated in a desire to honour the memory of those who perished from starvation at Klaractazum during the Age of the Long Famine, in the centuries that have passed since, this perspective has broadened to encompass a wider range of physical and emotional suffering, so that the Houses of the Hungry now provide succour for all kinds of spiritual hunger and loss.
A second ideal is the alleviation of contemporary distress through social welfare. The Covevant maintains a number of charitable programs to feed the poor and plays in active role in political campaigning onn their behalf.
