# Covenant Upbringing.
Artal's native language puts this in the Catalonia region of NE Spain.
*you were raised in a large, old covenant that has little contact with the outside world.*
- What was his covenant like?
- What was especially strange compared to the normal world?
- What does he find especially confusing about the outside world as a result of his sheltered upbringing?
# Apprenticeship
## Apprenticed 1205, age 9.
The *Sleeping Years*. It is usual for a *catulus* to be trained by a sept. But sometimes the master is not part of a sept. This period of apprenticeship ends with the Ritual of Twelve Years.
## Gathering of Twelve Years 1215, age 19.
Artal's Heartbeast is awoken. He is fully inducted into the house and clan.
But the Code requires him to be given 15 years of training, so although he has a full voice within the House, he is still considered an apprentice by the Order.
## Apprenticeship complete 1220, age 24.
Artal has finished the 15 years of apprenticeship. He must now present himself to his chosen Tribunal to be acknowledged.
# Infamous Master
Who?
Was he(?) the only Bjornaer at the Covenant, or was he part of a sept?
Why is he infamous?
Is the infamy justified?
# Fire!
Is Artal's affinity with fire learned from his master?
Or has it come from somewhere else?
# Iltefu
Of all the Bjornaer magi, there were only 6 members of Clan Iltefu - now there are 7.
Clan initiation must come after the Ritual of Twelve Years, so it is likely that his facility with Bjornaer Lore was learned from his Infamous Master.
But it could also be that this was a natural talent and once this facility with House Lore was noticed, he was reassigned away from his Infamous Master to a respected member of Clan Iltefu, for the later part of his apprenticeship.
