title: Covenants of Stonehenge during the Schism

# Canon Covenants

From *Heirs to Merlin*.

+ Covenants surviving the Schism
    + Semitae (?-) wandering.
      *This mysterious covenant has stayed out of the war.
      They have typially been three magi throughout history.*
    + Blackthorn (818-) in South Wales
      *Blackthorn, backed by House Tremere, has been able to 
      replenish their numbers with new magi from Transylvania.
      Probably 5-6 magi before they found Tagelyn.*
    + Cad Gadu (815-) in Wales
      *Cad Gadu is large, with manymembers staying out of
      the politics of the Order.  Yet several members fell in
      the War.  Maybe eight members at present.*
    + Castrum Antiquum (851-1030/31) on Hadrian's Wall
      *With 2-3 magi surviving, they barely survive.*
    + Lux Draconis (915-1100) in the Pennines
      *With 2-3 magi surviving, they barely survive.*
    + Ungulus (984-) in the Lake District.
      A Flambeau stronghold in the Schism War, they have suffered
      badly.  *Maybe three magi surviving*
+ Fallen Covenants
    + The Nameless Covenant (817-1011) in South Wales
    + Roma Nova (946-1008) in Kent
    + Lumen (998-1003) *in Mercia*
+ New Covenants
    + Tagelyn (1014-1062) in South Wales.
      *By 4ed canon, Tagelyn was spawned by Blackthorn, including some
      of their own apprentices as members.  Since Tremere did not join
      multi-house covenants at that time, it would be an all-Tremere
      covenant.
      However, it is doubtful that Tremere, losing half their numbers in
      the Schism, would be able to do this in 1014.  More likely,
      a number of magi came from Transylvania to help build the power
      base in Stonehenge.*

With the above numbers, there are 23-26 magi in Stonehenge, not counting
surviving Diedne, and continental magi taking part in the war.
The three covenants in Northumbria may have a few more magi than stated
in 1013, as they still sustain losses in the last four years of the War.
