Description

A large, stone castle set upon high cliffs. Frequent attacks by both Danes and Vikings forced them to build new and better defences each year. The strong force of grogs at Solis Castle are possibly the best trained and equipped in the Tribunal. Morale is excellent, and William has effortlessly picked up where Egbrigt left off when he retired. The preponderance of mundane activity has weakened the aura of this site. There is even a small chapel in one of the castle wings where a dominion aura can be measured at Christmas and Easter.

Background

There have been many changes at this covenant, an influx of new blood and refreshed attitude after the stagnation that set in after Darius left. Solis Castle has come back from Autumn and appears to be enjoying a second summer. Yania is now a respected Quaesitor and has served the Tribunal well. Orlania, though headstrong and often impatient, is a forceful leader and a ambitious influence. Moravius was invited to join Solis Castle with the promise of a good laboratory and a strong share of the vis. The memebers of the covenant have indulged him so far, as he is making them many items to help protect the covenant against storms and attacks from the sea. Jareth, an alchemist and accomplished blacksmith, has joined the covenant to provide a source of arms and armours unparalleled in the Tribunal. Moravius, though much younger, appears keen to encourage Jareth's talents and has negotiated his membership of the covenant.

Major attributes

Solis Castle has formidable mundane resources and contacts. The covenant is self-sufficient for magical resources, having a good library and a fair supply of vis coming in each year. The library has recently been given a boost by Orlania's contributions. The visitors' library is small, but open to anyone who will give a season's service in return.
