Oculus Outpost Chapter House

Location

The main site of the covenant is in a Regio, which is reached through a large tree on Fågelön (Bird Island). The islands is ruled by a White Peacock called Argus, with whom they have a rental agreement.

Fågelön

At the Eastern end of the island, there is a landing where the covenant is able to dock a boat or two, which they use for trade trips to Stockholm and elsewhere. It is large enough to moor the Halcyon as well.

The big tree, at the heart of the covenant, is ten minutes walk, on the Western half of the island.
The path is now well trodden, but goes partly through dense forest, which quickly grows over it in the Summer.

1 Discussion point: how does one become ‘native’ to a regio?

Other

The motherhouse supplies the necessary mundane resources, but claim a tithe of Vis in return. Vis should be plentiful in the North, though. The motherhouse should also be happy to trade more resources (books, lab texts, possibly items) for additional vis.

  • Silver. Sponsored by the mother covenant or local trade branch thereof.
    • Typical source.
    • £100+ stock.
  • Zero vis stock.
  • Meagre library, but opportunity to buy from the Mother Covenant for vis.
    • PCs can copy, for free, from the mother library before they leave.
  • Only specialists created as grogs.
  • No magic items.

Income Sources

  1. Mining £100. This is the chapter houses own establishment, to be built up over a couple of years. It does not yet provide income.
  2. Trade Post £100. This is linked to the mother covenant’s trade network, and they have relocated Luthold from Kalmar to manage it. The covenant is secured a very stable income of £100 per year, in exchange for protection and the vis tax they pay.

Vis Sources

  • Rich vis sources - owe tithe to the motherhouse.
    • 40p/year, with the motherhouse claiming 25%. (George’s minimal proposal.)
  • 4p Imaginem from plants on the Fågelön
  • 8p Vim
  • 8p Herbam
  • 6p Creo
  • 5p Aquam
  • 5p Terram
  • 4p Mentem,
