1080 AD
Formed only at the Tribunal of 1066 this covenant has done much to establish itself in such a short time. All the members of this covenant were fresh out of apprenticeship, and many within the tribunal believed that the magi would have neither the experience or maturity to survive for very long. A young covenant with plenty of enthusiasm, competantly managed by both the magi and Aelfric (who was previously a Captain at Borri-Tor). The covenant still works to establish good relations with local mundanes.
The covenant has few vis sites, and is still running at a financial loss, but this is quite acceptable considering how little time the covenant has had. There is no visitors library and laboratories are still quite primitive.
The wooden fort is situated in hills. There is a small magical regio on a neighbouring hill which currently provides a few pawns each year.
Politics is relatively sedate, but each of the magi have strong opinions. Arguments occasionally break out, but they have not become so serious as to require a formal certamen to resolve them. Erin calls himself an alchemist, and looks as if he might yet become one of the finest makers of potions in the tribunal. Tyrell is quietly spoken and spends most of his time with his faerie companion. Wydrith has become a competant healer, and uses her exceptional gift among the nearby mundanes. Torius searches for the enigma through the study of cloud forms, and spends much of his time apparently asleep at the top of the tower. Kauser, whose heart shape is an eagle, spends much of his time away from the covenant when not required for service. Currently each magus is expected to perform one season in every year in the service of the covenant.
Scarfell has a loose political affiliation with Cad Gadu, but is free to vote as they will at tribunals (although many doubt that they would defy Lexor's request). They also appear to be fostering good relations with the magi at Borri-Tor.
