To leave a covenant, you can join another covenant, which will automatically abandon your current one, but this will count as a sin and make you the target of Dark Moon invasions unless you absolve your sins via Oswald of Carim. This process will also result in losing all covenant-specific benefits, including Renown, covenant abilities, appearances, soulbinds, mounts, titles, and sanctum upgrades.
