Covenant name

Games Discussion Ars Magica

Hello here,

I am about to ask one of the oddest questions I have ever asked on these boards.

The point is that somehow we ran into a creative block for something as vital as our brand new covenant. We have named a whole freakin' tribunal worth of covenants and magicians, just rto run into a creative block to our own covenant. oh dear :unamused:

There are 2 covenants to be named, in fact

The covenant is located in the Calf of Mann, and is the Hibernian attempt to break the Partitio Monaviae. The covenant also aims to become a hyppian powerhouse, to reform house Tytalus from its current "jerk teenager" approach into something that the rest of the magi of the order do not want to kill on sight. The covenant is being founded in a series of magically created caverns overlooking the Irish sea from the south west cliffs of the Calf of Man. We have good relations with the locals and an agreement to be there from the local ruler (king Reginald II of Man and the Isles). Current population is one tytalus (severin), one flambeau (Presteris) and one jerbiton "mundane leader" (Pere/Peter of Warwick)

The other covenant to be named is just off the coast of Douglas (in the middle of the east coast of Mann). It is a conjured mystic tower (well, 3 of them) in the middle of the water. An image can be seen here. It has been founded by 2-3 Loch Leglean magi to contest our claim, and to try to break the partitio monaviae themselves. Obviously we are quite at odds with them. They have taken a more heavy handed approach than us when it comes to the human population of the island, claiming that they are not paying any fees or anything to mere mundanes, but have better relations with the faeries of man than we do. O=ne (dark) merinita and one ex miscellanea there.

Look for the green arrow :wink:

Any suggestions or approaches to naming those 2? Any suggestion appreciated. Thx :slight_smile:

Hmmm... Navis Lapido sounds cool. We might get a winner for the Loch leglean covenant :slight_smile:

I think we will play this out for our own covenant. An in character brainstorming session in the (just excavated) council chamber sounds cool :stuck_out_tongue:

Thx :slight_smile:

Do the caves have any legendry surrounding them, or any native creatures? Any internal vis sources?

No. We are creating the caves ourselves.

We did strike a deal with the local ruler (well, the king, so no direct overlord for him), that is building a castle, and has more ambition than money. We negotiated to provide him with cheap, prime quality stone if he gave us the rights to stablish ourselves in the Calf of Man as the bondi of the area. We are (magically) excavating the caves for our covenant. This provides us with the (mostly) secluded space we need to live and the king with the stone he needs for his castle.

The Calf of man contains a menhir, and a few other relevant features, but nothing truly spectacular or haunting.
