# Resources
**Silver Stocks**
# Silver Resources
**Silver income**
**Silver Stocks** £500 or a bit more
**Vis stocks**
**Silver income** £100/year (typical source: cattle)
With the new magi joining, this is not sufficient, and the covenant will
run at deficit of about £50/year not conunting travel expences and other
irregular and semi-regular costs. This is not an immediate problem, and
the stocks can sustain this for 5-10 years.
**Vis sources** 30p/year on own land. 6p/year contested
# Vis
Following continental practice, the magi of Elk's Run tend to harvest and
stock up on Vis. This is controversial though, and the practice varies
somewhat.

The sources are on Hermetically recognised property unless
stated otherwise.
*The table is up for review* There should probably be more stocks.
# Boons
- ? Aura (Site, minor). The covenant has a magical aura of 4.
- Important Buildint (Fortification, minor)
# Hooks
- Contested Resource (Resources, minor). The covenant has a vis source outside its own land, so that it is not protected by Hermetic law.
- Superiors (Inhabitants, minor). The resources are controlled by the three senior magi. The junior magi (PCs) have well-regulated rights, which are linked to obligations.
- Vis Salary (Resources, minor). (Part of *Superiors* above)
- ? Suffrage (Inhabitants, minor) The covenant grants equal rights to men and women. This is, theoretically, sinful and likely to incite contempt of the covenant’s officials by outsiders.
- ? Public Vis Source (Relations, minor): One or more of the covenant’s vis sources has had its location and method of harvesting precisely written into a ruling of the Peripheral Code. The covenant unquestionably owns the source, but any enemy wishing to make mischief knows exactly where the covenant’s vis comes from.
- Outbuildings (Fortification, minor)
