The Covenants of the Rhine Tribunal

This is a brief list of the Covenants of the Rhine Tribunal. At time of writing (March 2001) it doesn't completely contradict any known published material.

Irencilla, Domus Magnus House Merinita, located in the Bayerischerwald. Proactively anti-mundane in its own area, but has little to do with the rest of the Tribunal.

Durenmar, Domus Magnus House Bonisagus, located in the Black Forest. Static, over-concerned with its own importance, and declining towards Winter.

Crintera, Domus Magnus House Bjornaer, located in Pomerania. Reclusive and Paranoid.

Fengheld, located in the Harz Mts. Mainly Flambeau Summer Covenant.

Canis Nigra, located close to Durenmar in the Black Forest. One of the original Covenants of the Order, its Jerbiton and Verditius magi were once famous for their merging of Philosophy and Alchemy, and their Automata. Now the Covenant is a pale shadow of its former glory.

Triamore, located in the Ardennes. At its founding (1151) heavily involved in mundane affairs, with the death of its founders, and now of Daria LaGris (1213 in Wizards War with Augustus of Spear Peak) it seems a spent force.

Conspectus Oriens, located in the Thuringerwald. A mainly Flambeau Covenant often in conflict with magi from the Novgorod Tribunal over resources from lands conquered from the Slavs by German Princes.

Schola Ethica, located in the Bergisheland, fairly near Koln. An extablished covenant of Tremere and Jerbiton magi, often involved in mundane Rhineland politics.

Trollwacht, located in Freisland. A brand new Covenant (1200) mostly made up of Ex Miscellanea magi. It plays no part in Tribunal politics. Founded by a Tytalus and a Flambeau magus, its Ex Misc population is now said to number greater than 10 hedge magi.


A breakdown of the Tribunal magi by House reveals: 6 Bjornaer, 8 Bonisagus, 2 Criamon, 16 Ex Miscellanea, 11 Flambeau, 12 Jerbiton, 9 Mercere, 9 Merinita, 5 Guernicus, 7 Tremere, 1 Tytalus, 4 Verditius.
