Character Creation Guidelines

Sanctums

Please describe your Sanctums with at least a few paragraphs. I don't want this to feel burdensome however try to provide enough description that it wouldn't be difficult to set a scene there if the occasion arises.

We should get a good sense of the basic layout, decorations, & lifestyle of those who reside and work in the Sanctum.

Laboratories

Starting laboratories have been constructed by the Apprentices (perhaps some of which constitute the newly Gauntleted members of Inchmore itself) of the Hibernian coalition that helped build and defend the founding of the new Covenant.

Labs may be designed and described as desired to suit the nature and desires of each Mage adhering to the following stipulations.

  • All labs have had the basic two seasons invested to set up a fully functional lab without penalties.
  • A reasonable selection of free virtues and flaws may be selected to suit the nature of the lab and its construction. (Please don't go overboard.)
  • All labs begin unrefined.
  • Sanctums/Labs which have a reasonably direct connection to the caves underneath the Covenant will have had the aura expand to cover them over the past year of setting up the lab and conducting magic within it.
  • Two seasons of non-magical labor may be assumed to have been spent customizing the lab to suit the Mage. This can facilitate the installation of virtues/flaws as long as the net value remains zero, as the refinement may not change during this process. This labor may be assumed to have been conducted with at least some direct involvement of the owning Mage, perhaps even having been done by them personally.
