CrVi 15 Base 5, +1 Touch, +5 for 24 uses/day,
A small food/water trough which inflicts 1 warping point (see RoP:M 79) each time a creature eats food or drinks water placed inside it. On one side are several orifices in which you can place Vis, which fuels the device in unclear ways. It was the maker's hope that the vis would affect the nature of the warping, but he decided to trade it for a very nice wolfhound before coming to any conclusions.

Leon, grog (linguist, hunter)
Cult of Euclid
Note: Patrick’s secret cult name as “Damascius"
Edward Longshanks the 4th, Magister in Arbitus, Oxford. Patrick’s first contact with the cult, the mundane scholar sent him a letter that changed the very course of his life. It has never been clear to Patrick why the scholar chose him, or how he even knew of Patrick. (corresponded thus far in Philosophiae, Cult Lore)
Sophos, (name suggested by Scott) Patrick’s first magi contact within the cult. From their correspondence, Patrick suspects the magus is a Tremere. He initiated Patrick into the 1st and 2nd circle of the cult. (corresponded thus far in Aquam, Auram, Ignem, Terram, CoH, Magic Theory, Cult Lore, OoH Lore)
“Proclus” Patrick knows nothing about this magus other than that he is a master of Rego Animal, and an “inner circle” member of the cult. They met in person once, secreted in deep cowled cloaks and Tytalan disguise magic, and when Patrick returned home from that meeting, his life had burnt to the ground. (corresponded thus far in Rego, Animal, Cult Lore.)
Captain Federovski Russian captain of a merchant ship which plies the Black Sea, he is also a mundane member of the Cult of Euclid, and serves to ferry secret messages between them. According to dockside rumor, his ship, the Lemma, recently transported a cargo hold full of lepers to found a new leper colony at the ruins of Tanais.
Correspondents / Pen Pals
Peremis Tytalii of Five Trees Covenant, Ireland. What can be said of your parens with any certainty? Can you ever truly see them as anything but she who once was your mistress? Will she ever see you as anything but the pupil you were? Does it affect your love for each other one whit, if you can’t? (corresponded thus far in Rego, Perdo, Corpus, Imaginem, Magic Lore, Concentration.)
Certioari, fillia of a prominent Queasitor of Iberia, now a Queasitor of The Thebes Tribunal. The young Guernicus passed her Gauntlet five years after Patrick did, she initially approached Patrick because he was the first magus she had met (as a journeyman) who had a family and still acted like he loved them. She was worried about the obligations of Queasitorial duty getting in the way of finding a husband, and their early letters spoke much about child-rearing in a covenant. They lost touch during Patrick’s prolonged grief, but have recently begun corresponding again. Time has hardened both of them, and it is evident in their letters. (corresponded thus far in Intellego, Mentem, CoH. )
Other NPC and places
Saffron of Merinita, and
Salamandrus of Flambeau, both were apprenticed at Five Trees Covenant at the same time as Patrick, and were subject to his bullying. It is clear that they have not forgiven him for his childhood excesses.
(The unnamed 4th child who was almost apprenticed at Five Trees)
Maeve, Patrick's wife, deceased. Appears to him in visions.
Leah The firstborn of Patrick's seven dead children. Deceased, but appears to him in visions. She was 7 when she died,
Laguna Sententia. The covenant where Patrick live with his wife and family. Destroyed by person or persons unknown.
Metapontium Covenant near Hamburg, filled with Tytalli members of the Fraternity of Samos, who worked with Patrick to defeat a diabolist. Leon's original home and birthplace, though he doesn't remember it.
EXP Log
1226
Spring: Adventure 8 XP. Local Area Lore 5xp, with 3 Independent Study XP going to Magic Lore. Corresponds with Quaesitor Certioari*, Sophos/new Cult Contacts. These correspondences are ostensibly about looking for magi who might trade Longevity Potions for hunting trophies, but the details about the possible trophies yield 1 Correspondence XP to Magic Lore.
Summer and Autumn: Reads Principia Fabricata by Portia Verditii. Creo summa, level 9 quality 15, which will max out the book. Downtime spent continuing to hunt/explore, focusing on the Delta region (which hopefully fulfills his Servant of the Delta duties). While he corresponds, it is mostly a matter of seeking buyers and whatnot. Possibly, he gets 2xp of Correspondence (pun!) in Prof(Scribe) -- given the quality of the book, the handwriting must be very impressive.
Winter: the Aegis Mastery tractus, quality 11 (or memorize a higher Aegis, if available -- his is 20) and cast the Aegis. Aegis Correspondence with his new local Euclidean Cult contact. Distracted by Delta Duties, but not so bad as to affect his study totals. 12xp to Aegis Mastery.
1227: He spends all year reading Blood and Tears, and corresponding with his new Corpus buddy for 60xp. Distracted (no penalty to study) by Delta Duties.
