• Covenant Mechanics

Canon covenant, see The Contested Isle.

Season Summer

Canon has it as Autumn, but in spite of having three mature and accomplished magi as members, it is young with few traditions and threatened by Irish patriots.

Buildings

Inside the Aegis there are

• three traditional towers
• a small feasting hall (wooden)
• a good sized stone scriptorium
• a small hamlet

Outside the Aegis there are

• pasture and fields
• several hamlets of cattle herders and hunters

The covenant lays claim to vast areas of mountain, lough and forest, and all the vis sources within.

Covenfolk

The locals are of the clan Cenél Áeda na hEchtge, and that clan are a branch of the Uí Fiachrach Aidhne who were the royal house of Connacht in ancient times. Two great families comprise the clan — the Uí Sheachnasaigh and the Ua Cathail — but it is the Uí Sheachnasaigh who serve as covenfolk here. The Ua Cathail resent the English magi and the aid they bestow upon their Uí Sheachnasaigh rivals, and may soon bring a formal complaint to the Tribunal. The other covenants of Ireland may support this despite Lugardis’s best efforts, but it is doubtful; the interference with mundanes is likely to bring ruin upon their sodales and therefore an offense against the Code.

The hunters and herders managing the income sources of the covenant are generally trained to fight and defend the covenant.
