I am creating a new saga that is homebrew for Ars Magica. I am pretty new to 5th edition, this is what i have so far This is a WIP for the saga I am creating in Ars Magica. I am hoping for some feedback. https://www.worldanvil.com/w/st-berrigonies-island-valairia I know it is still rough and the articles are constantly being changed, but this is the start of what I am working on.
BTW World Anvil is world building software that I am finding really easy to use with this project.
Good start
500 years old is pretty old. Typical hermetic limits hit around 250 years old... means you probably want to have some sort of mystery there. They are un-aging as they cannot leave the island or something alike.

well i am trying to have the two magi on the island be some of the latest to arrive during the period of nothing happening. (I drew the inspiration from Pern) and that new mages weren't sent in to help because it was all quiet. I am also planning on using the prison island to imprison royalty or too power nobles to execute as well.
i like a church order of demon hunters having a monastary on the covenant's island.
RoP:D has desciption of Hermetic Holy Magic. Could be a good fit for your concept.
Relics are also described in there and would explain how they were able to imprison such powerful beings.
W
yes i have ROP Divine and have been referencing that and the church for ideas on Holy Magic for my Carolingians to contribute to the cause. But no attacks has sort of left the church, the order, the folk witches and the Vikkars under the impression that the threat is gone totally. So they haven't been giving the covenant money to keep it active and growing. Now they are waking up and breaking their bonds.
Another angle could be that there was a new generation and there was support but all of it is being killed off, literally... Venatores are being called off the island to hunt down demons and such but have not returned. Were they really demons? Is there a trap being layed out?
Have the Venatores pissed off some powerful enemy? Are they being hunted down? Is the ultimate goal of the invisible enemy something on the island?
W
oh what a great idea. I am going to flesh out the venatores factions to see. Maybe make some more cults. this is great.
now to find a group to play it with
