Covenant Development

Physically, the Covenant is on the north-western arm of land that defines the Gulf of Morbihan. The land is wet and marshy, but one of the few really magical places in Normandy. You are very near Carnac (to the west) and Auray (to the North). The main Covenant building is a large, white marbled Edifice, over 100 feet high at the top of the dome. The covenant is huge by local standards. Its aura is vast, covering nearly a square mile. The main covenant building is on a small hill, overlooking the Atlantic ocean. a road stretches to the north east to a small village about a half-mile away. This is the home of the covenfolk, craftsman, etc. Near the village is a cluster of conjured towers that hold junior magi's sancta, as well as supplies and gear for the covenant. Below the main structure is a large cavern structure that few have seen.

I'm assuming these are shared, not dedicated to each young magus, as it makes more sense.

But I wonder still. How many magi do we have really? Sounds like a whole bunch!

I have (in my own mind at least) believed to set up lab in my darling Corentin's manor within the Aura (And Aegis), but not in any of the conjured towers. I take it this is acceptable ?

That is perfectly acceptable. The stone towers (I just decided there are three of them) are there for mundane defense, storage, and double as junor magi sancta. There is space for three magical labs per tower, although there are usually only 5-8 junor magi in residence.

For most of the coventnat history there ahve been at least 6 magi in residence, at times as many as 15. Usually the number hovers around 10. As of the last of your Gauntlets, there are 13.

Just as a note, I'm dedicating roughly one season in 12 to writing a book to add to our library, like a good Bonisagus. These will likely be Tractatus and Commentaries. In addition, those of us engaged in Correspondence should keep track of the topic(s) being discussed, as about 2 years' worth of Correspondence on the same subject also produce a book (Tractatus equivalent).

Although I haven't run through the full numbers, by the time I'm done my advancements, my magus should be adding approximately 15 books written of his own accord, and another 20 books in Magic Theory as a result of letter-writing. The nice thing is, after a while, all those letters can act as a 'research aid', per the Library rules in Covenants.
