1097 AD

Description

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.  On the wooden gate house is hung a large silver statue of a dragon, with amber eyes and complex verditious designs etched into the surface.  Corlear of Borri-Tor created the statue to help ward the site from the effects of a strange magical malignment that beset the covenant.  To date it appears to have been working very effectively.

Background

Formed 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 Corin (who took over from Aelfric, previously a Captain at Borri-Tor).  The covenant still works to establish good relations with local mundanes. 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.  Jordael at Cad Gadu appears to be a firm ally, and appears to have taken Erin under his wing as a mentor of sorts.  Tyrell is quietly spoken and spends most of his time with his faerie companion. 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. Wydrith, a healer, originally lived at the covenant, but she died while tending the many sick during a magical plague that lasted for nearly 10 years.  Blodwyn originally came from Cad Gadu in order to help out after the death of Wydrith.  She has opted to stay at the covenant and help it recover from the disruption that the illness caused.  Blodwyn  is one of the finest healers in the tribunal.

Major attributes

The covenant has few vis sites, but is no longer running at a financial loss.  Although there is no visitors library the magi are generally pleased to exchange knowledge. The laboratories are small and relatively primitive, but slowly improving.
