Night Fae BY FAR.
The Winter Queen is either Elune’s sister or Eonar’s sister, and both of those entities are absurdly overpowered in lore.
Based off of the covenants being mostly “equal” in actual power, here’s my guess.
- Kyrian
- Night Fae
- Necrolords
- Venthyr
Kyrian had basically all of their problems solved by the end of their campaign. They have no weakness tbh
Night fae have a large, powerful army but they are attacked so frequently that it likely means that they are generally weakened throughout SL, putting them below the Kyrian.
The Necrolords are in a similar situation as the Venthyr, but the necrolords have their natural strength as an advantage over the Venthyr. To explain it better with the one below…
Venthyr are the weakest because they are both the smallest covenant and the least equal of the covenants. They are effectively just a couple of forces in Sinfall, much like how the Necrolords are just a couple of forces in their house, but they lack the natural strength of the Necrolords.
I don’t think people comprehend just how little power the Sinfall Rebellion, that makes up the Venthyr covenant, actually has.
In their prime non-civil war status, the necrolords likely are the strongest. Their entire eternity is devoted to warfare and they’re led by a legendary fighter and strategist, the Primus.
The other three do have their own security forces and can take care of themselves, but mostly their jobs are unrelated things. Rejuvenation, reformation, guidance. Necrolord’s sole purpose is just to fight, get stronger and defend the Shadowlands.
The rest I’m not sure. Maybe kyrian > venthyr > night fae just based on what we can surmise. Not counting their current states as they were all falling apart by the time we arrived.

I suppose Maldraxxus should be the strongest…Fightning is their thing after all.
The others might have been powerful fighters in klife but they don’t fight anymore (except rare occasions such as…now)
Honestly seems like Kyrian and Nightfae are the only covenants that actually get things done. Venthyr all talk big game but seem very splintered. Prince Renathal is like tissue. Maldraxxus seems like if they had their act together they could be skrong af though.

In their prime, Maldraxxus was defintely the strongest.
Now though? Maldraxxus is barely above the Venthyr in strength.
Well as all covenants decided that the night fae are the ones whos power should keep the jailer locked in the maw it would be fairly evident they are the strongest. Then I would say maldraxus, kyrion and the venthyr
In my opinion, the list goes (including unreleased covenants):
(Strongest)
- Terraform
- Night Fae
- Radia Swarm
- Maldraxxus
- Jastar’ai
- Kyrian
- Primalists
- Venthyr
- Lesavi Forces
- Vacui
(Weakest)

I would assume lore wise based on the current state of the game – Night Fae effortlessly win out. They have the ability to restore entire spirits back to life and nurture them into re-existing.
That’s literal death defiance. They brought Ysera back from nothingness… The implied power of the Winter Queen is tremendous. The beings that exist under the power of the Winter Queen and have been “gifted” tiny portions of her power (Moonberry, etc) is extreme.
The creatures under the command of the Winter Queen (All of the Wild Hunt, and the giant bear who’s name I forget) are tremendously powerful and completely capable of self-sentience to defend Ardenweald…
I would say Venthyr are the weakest by a huge margin… Renethal loses his confrontation to Denathrius. It’s only with the player’s help that you’re able to convince the other houses that Renethal shouldn’t be instantly dismissed. The entire area is in disarray, and at war with one another. The houses quarrel, fight, and backstab each other constantly. Very little cohesion and unity.

Maldraxxus because they are the defenders of the shadowlands be default, other covenants stay out of it unless they must be involved.

Kyrian >= Mald >= Venthyr >>>>>>>>>>>>> Venture Co >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Night Fae.
isn’t she Elune’s sister? in the cinematic she called Ysera “her sisters pet” wasn’t it Elune that took her “soul” i guess you could say and turned it into a conselation of stars or something like that back in legion? thus why the moon went black then went clear again?
Necrolords fight the burning legion I’m gonna go with them. Also their purpose is to defend the shadowlands.
The Night Fae are the only faction on live that hasn’t been completely imploded.
Kyrian are next.
The Drust thing sucked, but you don’t have the impression that it’s utterly smashed them the way say Maldraxxus has been.
At their high points, it’s probably NF vs Mald. NF power is weird to measure, but people like Lady Moonberry are incredibly powerful. It becomes a quantity vs quality thing. Maldraxxus is mostly made up of cannon fodder. NF are a bunch of hero units.
Night Fae, Venthyr, Necrolords, Kyrian, imo. As it stands, the Winter Queen is the only all-powerful leader still in power with no internal dissent about it. Maldraxxus, Bastion, and Revenreth basically go through civil wars during the main story, but Night Fae is dealing with a more externalized threat are not divided under the Winter Queen.
Oh, right, except for the growing divide over how the process of making them into what they are should be conducted… to which the Archon agrees they need to discuss. You know, only after we kill Devos for her.
No, she may have been referring to the pantheon Eonar. She also uses nature-related powers. You got confused by what happened. Elune and Eonar were both involved in Ysera’s creation/empowerment process to a certain extent. Elune simply carried Ysera’s soul in hopes of being saved in Night fae, but Eonar is her actual sister as reflected by both of them able to use groves, trees, plants, ect powers on demand to create an advantage.
Necrolords.
They’re the most stable realm to be on a war-footing the fastest.
The other realms are slow, inept and corrupt with inaction.
How exactly do you define strength, and are we talking about pre-drought, after our arrival, going forward…?
