1152 AD

Background

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 is possibly the best trained and equipped in the Tribunal. 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. 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.

Major attributes

Solis Castle recently hosted a meeting of House Flambeau and used as a staging post for the war against the renegade McGreine to be prosecuted. Unfortunately, Solis Castle was attacked during this period and though the central keep held, much of the surrounding town was put to torch and many of the mundane inhabitants slain. However, with such capable magi present no one expects the process of rebuilding will take that long.

Visitors' library

The visitors' library is reasonable and open to anyone who will give a season's service in return.
