 Broseley Covenant is based at Sir Nathaniel's manor house in the village of Broseley, a mostly forested area about seven miles north of the market town of Bridgnorth and four miles downriver from Buildwas Abbey. Those are also the nearest crossings to the powerful River Severn, which divides Broseley from most of Stonehenge. Sir Nathaniel's house, a relatively new stone manor of about thirty rooms, always has good food and drink, even though rumour has it the Cook eats more of the expensive stuff than he should. A stronger magic aura and at least one guest lab can be found in the hills bordering Broseley to the north.

 A case has been brought to the Quaesitors by one Sir Neville of Chirk that Sir Nathaniel and Gentian are interfering with his marriage by denying him access to his wife, Gabrielle (of Jerbiton), and child. He claims if she wanted to leave the marriage, she should go to a nunnery, and the child should live with him as his heir. Gabrielle's response was that Neville was a brutal wife-beater, and had forbidden her to study or practise magic on threat of harm to the child. He should be glad she hadn't killed him, and ordering her to go back would be denying her magic.

 Sir Nathaniel's familiar is a monocerous called August.
-Beryl of Mercere (ungifted), parens of Brennan. Left Arbor Low in 1220 because she loves Sir Nathaniel. No-one is quite sure if this is a platonic relationship. Beryl is proficient in all (I think) social skills and common lores (generally +5 to the roll including presence, +6 if Communication). Beryl does book negotiation as well as management of the covenant, and has a decent layman's understanding of magic theory. [[File:Beryl.jpg]]

 Laevis of Bjornaer - small, brown-haired, beautiful voice, enchanting music, heartbeast songbird. Laevis moves around a lot and can be away for a week or so at a time with the local magical birds.
-Gabrielle of Jerbiton: Sir Nathaniel's filius, she is beginning to earn a name as an Imaginem specialist. Gabrielle looks like the spitting image of the FitzAlan lords because her father is Lord John Fitzalan, Warder of the West and Lord of Oswestry and Clun, and her mother is his cousin whom he was not allowed to marry. Though very beautiful, she looks around thirty, her unhappy marriage may have aged her. [[File:Gabrielle.jpg]]

	Herley Coke of Much Wenlock is the celebrated cook. He really is an excellent pastry chef, even though he's frequently drunk. About a third of dinners involve Sir Nathaniel sending his compliments to the Chef but also wondering what happened to the Goose/Swan/Venison/brandy/Burgundian Wine etc that was ordered, and the news coming back that there had been an accident in the Kitchen and the rest would be coming to the table shortly, or it would be replaced.
