The First Covenant

333 familiars. Then the door closes.

Every collector who enters the graveyard is chosen by a familiar — you don't pick it, it picks you, and there are no re-rolls. Each one is named in the collector's secret vocabulary (Placket, Selvedge, Deadstock, Besom— every name is a word worth knowing), engraved as a numbered plate, and bound to you permanently. It learns your eye, hunts inside your budget, and remembers everything you feed it. The first 333 collectors get numbered plates. That's the whole covenant.
