'''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)

'''Multarum Insula''' (Wadeholm) - It has 1 Flambeau, 1 Criamon and 1 ex Miscellanea.

'''[[Avalon]]''' (PC) - 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. (12 votes (of which 3 are NPCs))

A recent addition to the covenant is a stone bathhouse offering relaxation in the magically heated waters. There is a small village, including a church, immediately adjacent to the covenant.

'''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)

'''Jarrow''' is home to a famous monastery; yet a new covenant has been founded near there, to the utter disgust of the Exarch of Tremere at Brabonicum. It has four magi, and so far they have not been forced to move, but it seems that House Tremere regard the new covenant as encroaching upon their Chapterhouse. The magi's names and Houses are not generally known yet.

'''The Mercer House''' was established just thirty years ago but has propspered greatly in that time. Set within the dominion in the city of London it replaced the earlier Mercer House at Multarum Insularum; that covenant was felt to be able to control politics to an undue extent owing to the redcaps being based there, and the Tribunal ruled henceforth Redcaps should be based at the new Mercer House. Technically there is no reason for Redcaps not to be based at other covenants, but Francesca Whittington the Chief Redcap is known to feel the enforced centralisation worked to the Houses's ultimate advantage.

'''Brabonicum''' is the Tremere chapterhouse in the Tribunal, and geographically isolated from much of the life of the Tribunal. The Exarch of Stonehenge, Loch Leglean and Hibernia is Dalibor and he rules over the ten magi here, holding six sigils. The use of Certamen to push political agendas has been limited in recent years, and the covenant has stronger links with Scotland and Ireland than with the south of England. Stonehenge magi often speculate what the Exarch's political goal is, but the truth is no one has a clue and the Tytalans reckon it is probbaly more to do with the politics of Transylvannia than Stonehenge!

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.

'''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 ot remain are Lady Winifred of Flambeau, Marcellus of Criamon and Jared ex Miscellanea.

'''Wyrm's Head''' is a covenant in a blackened tower on the Gower peninsula. The Tytalan magi here were destroyed in a Wizard's March for diabolism, and three of the five magi here were marched ten years ago when their infernal dealings with demons became known; one was subsequently hanged by the Earl of Pembroke for unrelated reasons. Now only the honourable Roderick of Flambeau remains, his apprentice having recently left. Roderick is known as a chivalrous fellow who has believed to have fought in a number of the battles in Ireland in recent years, yet never broken the Code of Hermes or his chivalric vows. He has slain a number of renegade Irish magi to protect the Order and is a master of Fire magics in the tradition of the School of the Founder.

OC map of the area: [1]

[edit] Spring Covenants

Stonehenge Covenant map

Broseley - Founded in 1220, Broseley is a small covenant in Shropshire by the mighty River Severn. It is mostly represented by:

  • Beryl Redcap of Mercere
  • Sir Nathaniel of Jerbiton
  • Gentian of Merinita
  • Laevis of Bjornaer
  • Gabrielle of Jerbiton
  • Brennan ex Mercere
  • two apprentices.

(4 Votes, 2 Redcaps and 2 apprentices)

Cambridge - Founded in the Tribunal of 1230 - It has 2 Guernicus, 2 Bonisagus, 2 Flambeau and 3 apprentices (6 votes and 3 apprentices)

Tintagel - Founded in the Tribunal of 1230 - It has 3 Merenita, 2 Verditius, 1 Tytalus and 1 Flambeau magi from Ireland. (7 votes) Some of these are:

  • Merryn ex Flambeau
  • Arganteilin ex Verditius

Whitby - Founded in the Tribunal of 1230 - It has 3 Jerbition magi, 2 Ex Miscellania, one Bonisagus and one apprentice (6 votes and 1 apprentice)

  • Amelia ex Jerbiton
  • Gerold ex Miscelania
  • Iulia ex Jerbiton
  • John ex Jerbiton
  • Laurea ex Bonisagus
  • Phoebe ex Jerbiton
  • Ruth ex Miscellanea

Yarmouth - Founded in the Tribunal of 1230 - It has 3 Redcaps, 2 Bonisagus and 1 Tytalus from the Rhine (3 votes, 3 redcaps)

  • Adalinda ex Tytalus (f)
  • Moses ex Bonisagus (m)
  • August ex Bonisagus (m)
  • Wigberta Ex Mercere (f)
  • Bruno Ex Mercere (m)
  • Ansgar Ex Mercere (m)

The Covenant lies close to the wealthy and populous town of Yarmouth, it lies within a magical regio that contained a long abandoned druidic temple. The regio is accessed by going through the Gull Stones which lie about half a mile inland. Their primary form of income is from the fishing vessels that ply the waters around Yarmouth and bring hauls of Herring to market to whom they provide important services.

[edit] Summer Covenants

Brabonicum (PC) - the Tremere chapterhouse in the Tribunal, and geographically isolated from much of the life of the Tribunal. Emerging from a second Spring back into Summer. (7 votes, 1 apprentice)

Hereward's Isle - is a two century old covenant which is now enjoying a second Summer, Hereward's Isle is a mixed covenant with an illustrious history situated on a hidden 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, 2 apprentices)

Martins Mere (PC) - Refounded 1199 on the site of a previously destroyed covenant. It has 8 Magi: (2 Tremere 1 Bonisagus, 1 Mercere, 1 Verditious, 1 Bjornear, 2 Ex-Miscelania) and some apprentices either at or past Gauntlet. (7 votes (2 of which are NPCs), 1 redcap, 1 apprentice)

The Mercere House (Bath) - Recently re-founded. (About 7 Redcaps)

[edit] Autumn Covenants

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)

Avalon (PC) - 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. (12 votes (of which 3 are NPCs))

Cad 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. (9 votes)

Wychwood (PC) - The covenant of Wychwood is a secluded location, amid the woods at the edge of the Royal Forest of Wychwood. The covenant itself is a mix of stone and wooden buildings with a sturdy tower dedicated to the magi, the manor house as a main gathering location and several outbuildings, including guest cottages. A recent addition to the covenant is a stone bathhouse offering relaxation in the magically heated waters. There is a small village, including a church, immediately adjacent to the covenant. (9 Votes, 3 apprentices)

[edit] Winter Covenants

Multarum Insula (Wadeholm) - It has 1 Flambeau, 1 Criamon and 1 ex Miscellanea.

[edit] Non-Covenant Locations

Arbor Low - a former Covenant then repurposes as a national Library.

[edit] Destroyed or Abandoned Covenants

Wyrms Head - (Reformed) - Reformed in the Tribunal of 1230 as a Spring Covenant - It had 3 Irish Flambeau magi, who were all killed in an attack in the Winter of 1247. (0 votes)

Bridgenorth - Destroyed

Jarrow - Destroyed

Long Meg - Proposed in 1230 but never founded. Its proponents are believed to have moved to Scotland.


[edit] Others

A number of Magi Orbis including:

  • Etienne ex Flambeau
  • at least 10 others

[edit] News from the Realm

  • The de Marisco Afair
  • Around 1253-1254 Work in Liverpool transforms the waterfront into a true dock that may soon rival Portsmouth and Dublin, capable of mooring cogs and even larger vessels directly against the waterfront for ease of loading and unloading and giving ships from Ireland and beyond an easy spot to harbour.
  • The Stonehenge National Library of Arbour Low is scheduled to formally open its doors and its collection in time for the 1258 Tribunal when the ground rules for the establishment will be voted upon.
  • Tanaquil ex Guernicus is being promoted to a senior role within Magvillus (the Domus Magna of house Guernicus) and a replacement is being sent. She will be formally step down at the next Tribunal and will be familiarising her replacement (Victor ex Guernicus) in the intervening time.
