**Cast** Una, Regina, Ercc, Nemoy

+ Rider from Aislleen Drayton, the manager of the covenant's trade house
    - Rider is called Bran
    - he brings a ledger from the trade house; the business is going well
    - part of it is encoded with a cipher
    - he also brings stones which are arcane connections to Aislleen's backyard.
+ Ercc takes a quick trip to Limerick by *Leap of Homecoming*, to get more
  information from Aislleen
    - Limerick is flooded with silver, notably with coin from Novgorod
        - They are plagued with inflation, presumably due to the foreign coin.
        - Regina dates one coin to be 314 years old
    - de Bursa is accusing Elk's Run for being the source of magically created silver.
    - de Bursa appears to be the major culprit
        - Originates from an English family, Berks (sp?), who have
          married into a line of folk witches from Ulster, with Gifted matriarchs.
          The folk witch family is know as the Dur Beghs (sp?).
        - lord de Bursa V now has a manor on the South coast towards Cork, 
          with a castle on the river
        - magister Connel de Bursa has studied in Cambridge and is now
          managing affairs in Limerick
    - Aislleen speaks impeccable Latin
    - Aislleen's daughters have married well
        - into the Baker's family
        - Bridget married a magister

**Session** 15 March 2023

**Cast** Maine, Una, Regina, Ercc, Saiorse, Quinn Bothar, Conlae, Broin

+ The party goes to Limerick
+ Business proposal in An Scairbh; Maine offers a loan.
    + Ercc toys with the idea of building an inn offering magically boosted parties
+ The sailors on the river boat are in a good mood, planning their romantic (sort of)
  endeavours away from home.  Wide Arsed Mary seems to be a very popular lady.
    - everybody talks about how everything is more expensive
+ New information gathered in Limerick.
    - de Bursa and Drayton/Elk's Run dominate the market for rare ingredients between them.
+ There is a magister de Bursa educated in Oxford, who is brother to Lord de Bursa.
  Easily confused with Connel
+ The find de Bursa's house, watched by ravens and rats.
    - a man was looking curiously from the window; was this Connel or magister de Bursa.
    - One of the two magisters is an apothecary
    - Una interrogates a rat and challenges the magister
+ Aislleen's daughter Bridget (about 30) has studied with a Fransciscan friar Tennely
  to become a learned magician
    - 30 is too old; Aisleen was not quite old enough to have children when we met
      her in 1217.  At that time she came to the covenant to learn the letters.
      Her children should not be older than about 23.
+ We invite magister de Bursa (?) to dinner at Aislleen's house
