Creating a New Tribunal

[Ben_McFarland]

@Heaven's Thunder Hammer

The Lands of the Nile book on page 127 says that

In either case, the covenants need to meet as a Tribunal, and find a sponsor to present their case at the Grand Tribunal..."

This applies to expanding a Tribunals geographical boundaries or forming a new one. It lists various forms of opposition.

I don't have the PDF of the final, and my book is in storage while the basement's being finished. My manuscript notes say:

"Then, with the creation of the PCs' home, four covenants could potentially exist in the region, allowing for the foundation of the Nile Tribunal to be pursued. Doing so requires the covenants to arrange a gathering by Redcap-carried correspondence, meet as a Tribunal while being observed by a quaesitor, acquire a sponsor from amongst the House Primi, and attend Grand Tribunal in 1228 in order to present themselves as a nascent Tribunal for confirmation. Depending on the results of the debate and whether or not a decision was made, the magi might need to return to the Grand Tribunal in 1261 to cement their creation. This requires convincing the magi of other regional covenants to actually participate, however."

Ben, with the book in front of me: I'm sorry to say that your notes were cut down considerably.On the creation of the Nile tribunal it says...

Perhaps the most politically ambitious goal is the creation of the Nile Tribunal. A tribunal must have at least twelve magi from four covenants, and at least one Quaesitor to preside at Tribunal Meetings.

[paragraph describing other ideas]

In either case, the covenants need to meet as a Tribunal, and find a sponsor to present their case at the Grand Tribunal, either 1228 or 1261. There would inevitably be political opposition to the creation of a new Tribunal from some in the Order, but other magi could be convinced to offer their support. The player magi need to keep all the magi of the Nile committed to the plan, and defend all the covenants from enemies, as the scheme cannot succeed if there are not enough covenants in the region.

Well, that's what editors are for. They need to carve things down to make them better and fit tighter. Well, as much that helps, there you go.
