Please post your final point expenditures for the covenant here, until we get the wiki set up. Discussion should remain on the Covenant Design Thread.

Enchanted Items
16 pts - Wand of Demon's Eternal Oblivion: PeVi 25, 24 uses per day, +20 Penetration. Crafted of red coral. Unbeknownst to Cygna, a fraction of the vis used to enchant the item was Infernal.
Friendly Voices (InMe 30)
Range: Eye; Duration: Sun; Target: Individual
This spell puts the caster and the target in direct mental communication. While the caster cannot read the caster's mind, they can conduct conversations as though speaking to one another.
(Base 15, +1 Eye, +2 Sun)
This is the combined 1200 BPs spent by Chicoazian, Peregrine, Fixer and JeanMichelle. It does not include personal belongings of incoming magi. Verify the numbers and vote on this.
Covenant base (for four magi, the founding magi):
Aura 5, with a Regio 5
A somewhat removed manor house and central village for several miles of grapevine, with basic defenses
6 labs / 4 Magi, 0 Companions, 4 grogs, 8 covenfolk
Edit: There was actually a 7th lab which blew up along with part of Claudia.
Muslim Librarian 6 / Teacher3/3,
Christian Scribe 6,
Christian Binder 6,
Christian Illuminator 6,
Vineyard Manager 7,
3 other specialists
Living conditions: Aging modifers +3
Governance style: Autocracy (with regards to covenfolk) (p. 17, inset)
Hermetic Governance: Democracy (p. 30)
Residents: Peasants, ghosts and grapevines (p. 17)
Boons
- Aura (x2): raising the Aura to +5 (p.6-7). This is almost mandatory
*Healthy feature (x3). The wine produced by the covenant from the magical grapevines, when consumed over long periods of time in the covenant, has unexpectedly beneficial results for the residents. ( p. 8 ) Probably a combination of magical wine and the effects of the regio.
-
Inhuman residents:(p. 18). Ghosts and the grapevines. Creatures who die within the regio often linger after death, even when given proper burial rites. Those who were originally loyal to the covenant continue to be so after their death. These ghosts often work in tandem with the gossiping grapevines to patrol against undead and extra-dead threats.
-
Regio (Major) (p. 7). The covenant is actually located in a magic regio with a Magic 5 Aura. The main entrance (that the covenant knows about) is the manor house in the outside world. The landscape in the regio echoes the outside landscape but contains a vast sprawling village with many buildings in decay, covered in the gossiping grapevine. There are almost certainly many more entrances to the regio than ours, and there is a lot about the regio to discover...or to have discover us.
-
Strong Community (p. 18). Though often divisive amongst themselves, hard effort on the part of the founding magi had unified the townsfolk. The decimated population knows the names of all who survived, and many who died.
-
Vis Grant (p. 16). Vis is divided among the magi and there is no central storehouse for its safekeeping.
-
Wealth (p. 16). The exceptional quality of the covenant's wine means we can sell it for a healthy amount.
Hooks
-
Contested resources (p. 16). One of our vis sources must be won in a contest with someone or something.
-
Demonic Interest (Major)(p. 23). Dealing with Rafus has only whetted the Infernal's appetite. And they are interested in seducing other magi across the Tribunal.
-
Divided loyalty (Major)(p. 19). Christian vs. Muslim vs. Jew. In the face of their recent losses, many of the covenfolk are turning to their faith, instead of their community. The covenfolk may be more loyal to their group than to the covenant at times.
-
Faerie Court (p. 23). Alpha Storyguide Amul has more details on this which have not yet been revealed.
-
Gender Imbalance (p. 19). Most of the menfolk went off to war just a few seasons ago, leaving only the old, the young, the infirm and the women.
-
Haunted (p. 10). Ghosts from far and away seem to feel an inexplicable urge to assault the regio. It is rumored that wine made from the gossiping grapevine binds the soul to the town, and whatever the truth of that, the grapevine somehow seems to do battle with vengeful spirits.
-
Illusory Resources (p.17): Some of the resources we're supposed to have were actually negotiated by magi who were lost at the Battle of Las Navas de Telosa. Since those magi are no longer around, the other side no longer feels bound to honor the agreement. It might be a Story to try to either enforce the agreement or negotiate a new one.
-
Regional Produce (p. 17): The vineyards of Castiblanco, and Casa de Cijara in particular, are known throughout the world. Many come seeking to sample the grapes, and those who hail from the region are assumed to be part of the wine industry.

Divided loyalty, Major (p. 19). Christian vs. Muslim vs. Jew. In the face of their recent losses, many of the covenfolk are turning to their faith, instead of their community. The covenfolk may be more loyal to their group than to the covenant at times.
Faerie Court (p. 23). Alpha Storyguide Amul has more details on this which have not yet been revealed.
Gender Imbalance (p. 19). Most of the menfolk went off to war just a few seasons ago, leaving only the old, the young, the infirm and the women.
Haunted (p. 10). Ghosts from far and away seem to feel an inexplicable urge to assault the regio. It is rumored that wine made from the gossiping grapevine binds the soul to the town, and whatever the truth of that, the grapevine somehow seems to do battle with vengeful spirits.
Illusory Resources (p.17): Some of the resources we're supposed to have were actually negotiated by magi who were lost at the Battle of Las Navas de Telosa. Since those magi are no longer around, the other side no longer feels bound to honor the agreement. It might be a Story to try to either enforce the agreement or negotiate a new one.
Regional Produce (p. 17): The vineyards of Castiblanco, and Casa de Cijara in particular, are known throughout the world. Many come seeking to sample the grapes, and those who hail from the region are assumed to be part of the wine industry.
