The Stonehenge Tribunal, Summer 1216
Spring Covenants
Jarrow is no more.
Wychwood is a tiny covenant on the edge of the Royal Forest near the Rollright stones. It is home to Abelard, Cassius, Amara, Regulus and others. Wychwood has the only known copy of Lupinus' Inspiration on Creation, the finest book on Creo known to the Order. This exceptional book on Creo is Level 16 Quality 19.
Summer Covenants
Bridgnorth is a cave covenant that lies directly beneath the town! Sir Robert of Jerbiton is a former nobleman who retired from public life a century ago, and the covenant now only recruits women. It has traditionally had a somewhat isolationist stance but recently has welcomed redcaps and is rapidly expanding the library by aggressively pursuing the acquisition of quality books. Bridgnorth is very interest in providing an excellent home to Verditius magi, and applicants should write at once. The covenant offers excellent mundane links and resources, a secure home and two rooks (20 pawns) of vim vis a year to any maga interested in the position. (4 votes)
Hereward's Isle is a two century old covenant which is now enjoying a second Summer, Hereards Isle is a mixed covenant with an illustrious history situated on a hoidden island in the Fens. It's magi are known to include Byron of Merinita, Lucius of Flambeau, William Ex Miscellanea, Janus of Bonisagus, Alyssa of Ex Miscellanea and Svetlana of Bjornaer. They have trained several apprentices. They are very isolated from the Order as a whole and redcap visits there are very rare, so the situation may well have changed. (6 votes)
The Mercer House is no more.
Martins Mere is a Spring covenant in Lancashire with 5 magi.
Autumn Covenants
Avalon is a small covenant hidden in a regio near Glastonbury in Somerset. The magi there are very strongly associated with the Arthurian myth, which is a politically loaded myth right now: the Welsh Kings say Arthur will return, and overthrow the Saxons kingdom of England! Arthurian myth is everywhere around the covenant, and the magi there are experts in the subject, as well as the shadowy truth behind the stories. What they know they are not saying! They are known as rivals to Stonehenge Covenant, and for their strong association with extolling chivalry and knightly virtues. Desdevarious of Merinita, Moira of York (a Bjornaer maga), Anna Ex Miscellanea and Stephren of Jerbiton are all elderly magi who make up the covenant.
Brabonicum is the Tremere chapterhouse in the Tribunal, and geographically isolated from much of the life of the Tribunal. We all know what happened to it.
Caer Gadu is a glass island floating in the middle of Lake Bala, and home to the strange warding experts of House Ex Misceallanea, as well as Domus Magna of the House. There power is great, but largely symbolic, and they still await the return of Pralix the Founder, centuries lost to Twilight. Recently they have been under scrutiny as linked to Welsh nationalism and Celtic revivalism which are dangerous currents in mortal politics. The covenant denies any knowledge of these things.

Stonehenge is the single most powerful covenant in the Tribunal, and the largest with 13 magi. It aggressively protects its vis sources and dominates every Tribunal, as the Praeco Cuthbert of Flambeau resides here, along with Chad of Flambeau the Chief Hoplite and Tanaquil of Guernicus the Presiding Quaesitor. Five of the magi are a clutch of Criamon magi, whose activities are completely baffling to almost everyone outside the covenant, and possibly some within, though it is rumpoured that they are not schismatics not in communion with the Cave of Twisting Shadows. There are few Criamon magi in Stonehenge other than them to ask the truth. The Stonehenge covenant works carefully to restrict i) open practice of magic in froint of mundanes ii) interference with mundanes iii) creation of magical gold or silver iv) advocates hidden covenants and a secret order and v) are suspicious of House Ex Miscellanea, Merinita and Bjornaer magi who they claim are little better than the accursed Diedne. This is ironic as House Ex Miscellanea was founded in the battle against Diedne! Stonehenge covenant has strong political opinions and uses Tribunals and Marches to enforce its will. (13 votes)
Winter Covenants
Multarum Insula (Wadenholm) is an old and powerful covenant located in a bay full of shifting magical islands and often weird regios. Long the Mercer House of the Tribunal, it lost that honour when Brandonicum amd Stonehenge allied against to accusing oit of too much politcal power, and its magi are sworn enemies of Francesca Whittington of House Mercere and also usually embroiled in politics to try and prevent the Stonehenge domination of the Tribunal. A series of recent unsolved murders in the vicinity including the death of Hugh of Jerbiton a visiting magus found dead in the sea and the redcap Florence of Kent has led to some considerable problems and most magi have left the covenant. Those known to remain are Lady Winifred of Flambeau, Marcellus of Criamon and Jared ex Miscellanea. (10 votes)
Wyrm's Head is gone
