 ===Magic (Spells/items/powers) with more than one effect in them===
 All such spells powers and items should be posted in the Spell and Item design, as these powers can be contentious and in general "Why are these two effects not two separate spells?", and don't have a good answer, then they should be separate spells.

 * NPCs created by your character (Familiars/Children/Spouses/Apprentices etc…) should generally not be played by that character. They should either be given to another player or used as a troupe NPC.
 * If Apprentices can’t be long-term adopted by anybody else, they should probably leave the covenant a few years after gauntlet or otherwise be written out of the story (As nobody wants to hang around with their parens after 15 years of studying under them.)
 * Starting characters could be encouraged to have a couple of connection with other PCs. (e.g. were raised in the same covenant together, they worked together in the past etc…)

 ===Area Lores===
 To prevent Redcaps needing to buy a million different area Lores or one very useless area lore "Eastern Europe", we're breaking things down into regions based on language groups.
 You can absolutely have more narrow area lore skills than this and it is encouraged, but these regions should give a functional grasp of the region as a whole including how to navigate them.
