töten. Zwar wurde sie, durch die Hilfe der Schattenwesen, wie auch Valentines Frau,
Jocelyn und sein Parabatai Lucian Starkweather, aufgehalten, dennoch gab es schwer

Government and Politics
Die Nephilim besitzen sehr strenge Gesetze, die aus dem Schattenjägerkodex
stammen, sowie auch vom Rat beschlossen werden. Es gibt einige Richtlinien und

seats of power, and every active Shadowhunter answer to them. While these
regional groups coordinate their own local decision making and organizational
structures as they see fit, the Clave may still interfere in some cases.
The same is the case for young Shadowhunters whose parents have left the Clave:
every six years until the child is eighteen, the Clave will ask the child if they would

Shadowhunters and Downworlders. The Covenant protects the rights of
