Description: We are a pre-spring covenant. We have worked out a long and
detailed charter, through long, detailed and tiresome discussions, but
we haven't sworn it in yet. We plan to do that next season, on the autumn
equinox, and then cast Aegis of the Hearth. In practice we live by the charter, though, and have come quite a good way in trasforming our little village of Mir into a proper covenant. Next on the agenda is to have the charter and the covenant ratified in an extraordinary tribunal meeting next year. Some political wheeling and dealing might be required to pull that off. Most of the members of the covenant also have interests in the debate that currently
splits the tribunal, between the Harmonists and Wilderists. But we are mainly
locally-oriented, and work hard to make our covenant strong and vital. (May 2003)

Description: A ragtag group of magi clawing their way out of Spring. Caught between the formal Stonehenge tribunal and the rough Loch Leglean tribunal, this group of magi are gradually making a name for themselves. Quite high level of politics, but plenty of action as well! (March 2003)

Description: A saga set in a fledging spring covenant that has slowly got to grips with its immediate surrounds over 12 years of game-time (2 years real-time). However the looming crisis of the invasion of the Mongols (1237), the wars with the Teutonic Knights/Swedes/Lithuanians (1240-1242), conflicts within the order, and a darker infernal threat are likely to threaten the covenant's existence.
We are looking for players who are sane, fairly chilled about gaming, not too hung up on rules and happy to do that role-playing thing. We meet weekly, tend to idle away an hour in general socialising till 9 and then play till 11. The game also runs with an email element, about one post per week each, and we're experimenting with having some email-only players. We like doing the admin bits by email. (November 2007)

Description: The Covenant of the Broken Bridge is located on the former
site of Grand Silesia Covenant, which was destroyed in the Schism War
by magi of House Flambeau, Tremere, and Tytalus. The new covenant has been
founded by young magi just out of apprenticeship, largely from the
British Isles. Between fending off pushy Polanian lords, Slavic
faeries, pagan priests, the Teutonic Knights, and vis-hungry Rhine
Covenants, they feverishly prepare for the coming of the Mongol horde. (May 2005)

Description: The initial saga basis was of a covenant (Collegium Artiis Mercurii) dedicated to enhancing Hermetic theory by having all of the houses work together, so 12 masters (one for each house) with 12 apprentices (the PCs) working to strengthen the Order. Now the apprentices have passed their gauntlets and are beginning to form a new covenant. New players will create standard starting characters or begin play as apprentices. (August 2003)

Description: In the middle of the 13th century, magi of the Order of Hermes are faced with many trials, new and old: a growing mundane presence, fierce competition for resources, an increasingly fractious Order, and the rise of competing magical traditions. At the edges of the Order a long-running covert war with Islamic sorcerers threatens daily to explode into battle. The players in this saga are ambassadors, troubleshooters, and if need be, warriors of the Order. (March 2003)
