Description

High stone towers set in the Cambian mountains make this covenant both remote and inaccessable in winter. The location is harsh and the grogs that survive must become so. Cyfeiliog, his life extended by longevity potions, commands them forcefully but the grogs occasionally stir up trouble. Morale is generally very poor, the men following the word of their magi and castellan mostly from fear. Blywydden has almost no contact with mundanes.

Background

Blywyddan has never managed to pass from spring to summer. Always short of mundane resources, often food, this covenant has nearly collapsed several times - not helped by the spate of wizard's war in 1056 which reduced the number of original magi from five to three. The mountain upon which Blywyddan was built is said to be a sleeping earth elemental which will one day rise up, but the magi there appear unconvinced. There was a network of caves through the mountain, but they collapsed during the recent conflict. In 1094, Orlania - who previously lived at the covenant, left to join Solis Castle.

Major attributes

The site is exceptionally rich in Terram, but only a few pawns are harvested each year as none of the magi require it for their studies. Otherwise the covenant brings in a pitiful amount of vis each year, but this is more due to the lack of co-operation rather than a lack of rich sites. There is no visitors' library, and magi are discouraged from visiting.

Visitors' library
