Library

[size=150][i]Library of Andorra[/size][/i]
The Library of the Covenant of Andorra is not a static constant thing. It is ever evolving and changing. Tomes are constantly being traded, upgraded, and replaced. The books come from many sources. Andorra is a very old covenant, and some of her treasures date back hundreds of years. These include the original copies of some of her valued library texts. When the Knights of Seneca first came to Andorra and revitalized it, they had brought with them their share of the divided spoils of Valencia Covenant (other treasures of that fallen covenant reside with the Sahirs of Estancia-es-Karida). Also, when Frederique “Fuego” of Flambeau migrated here from Val-Negra, he brought some valuable grimoires as well. Finally, Andorra participates in a vast library network, both through House Mercere and a Jerbiton societas known as the Quill of the Eye. This network consists of a reciprocating Scribal Hospitality policy and a direct exchange of copies (or originals) of various texts. No money or vis is ever exchanged, only books, duties, and privilege.

The Andorran Library is divided into two main sections, each with several subsections. These terms apply more so to catalogue categorization than to physical location. The Exclusive Library is for Members Only. By special permission, guests may use the Exclusive Library if they are accompanied by a Full Member. This is where the covenant keeps the very best of its tomes, those written by the best authors and some that have been enchanted. There are other texts stored here because it is felt to be the safest place for them. The General Library contains a number of lesser works. Sometimes these are worn or otherwise inferior copies of books that are also in the Exclusive Library. Others are simply by inferior authors and of no interest to anyone. However, there are a few hidden gems that have been misfiled here. For example; recently someone discovered a book containing spells only of interest to magi of the Bjornaer Mysteries, which the covenant in turn traded for an excellent Animal text.

[u]Hermetic Arts[/u]: (60 Books, 1011+35 Points)

Creo: (4 Books, 65+35 Points)
[i]Liberi de Creationé[/i]: Creo Summa (L 20, Q 15);
Author: Bonisagus (Com +3, Good Teacher, Creo 40), glossed by Pere Magnus of Bonisagus (Com +5), Clarified by Rodrigo of Mercere (Creo 15)
Features: +1 Well Bound, +1 Well Scribed, +1 Well Illustrated, +1 Glossed, +1 Resonant Materials (ink made from the crushed tails of magical lizards), +1 Clarified
Notes: The book is a classic, and considered one of the Branches of the Arts. The original was an ex-libris from Durenmar donated by Stephanos of Bonisagus, a former member. The covenant made this newer better copy, using Resonant Materials and Clarification. As a historic note, this book originally had no title. It was merely Bonisagus’ Book on Creo. Eventually, it came to be known as THE Book on Creo (Liberi de Creatione means “Book of Creation” in some old dialect). The covenant has more than one copy of this book. The previous edition is slightly worn and lacks any magical enhancement (L 20, Q 11). The covenant also has two brand new well crafted Exemplar editions (L 20, Q 9). These copies are kept in the General Library.
Cost: none (Exceptional Book Boon, normal cost is 35)

[i]Collected Commentaries on Liberi de Creationé[/i]: Folio of six Creo Commentaries (Q 11, Q 9, Q 8, Q 8, Q 7, & Q 6)

Features: +1 Well Bound, +1 Well Scribed, +1 Well Illustrated, +1 Excerpts, +1 Glossed
Notes: Florenzo of Jerbiton, son of Rodrigo, decided to write his own commentary and add it to the growing collection. But in addition to that, he had all of the commentaries recopied into a single folio, along with Excerpts referring to the work. Each commentary was in turn Glossed by himself or another, and all of these texts were bound together in a single codex, though you can only study one per season. The covenant still has some of the originals in the General Library (though they have lower Quality scores and are all bound separately).

Features: +1 Well Bound, +1 Well Scribed, +1 Well Illustrated, +1 Resonant Materials, +1 Clarified, -3 Major Damage, -3 Major Malediction
Notes: This book, a companion to Liberi de Creatione, is considered one of the Branches of the Arts. This copy was donated by Ernwald of Flambeau, one of the Knights of Seneca that rediscovered Andorra, who had obtained it from Val-Negra. The book is very old, and this edition was made with some resonant materials of unknown origin. Whatever the nature of this, it has caused the book to suffer decay at a greater rate than normal, and this damage cannot be repaired by normal means. Additionally, the book will cause others in its proximity to age and decay faster than normal, and thus it must be kept isolated and locked away in an iron box. This effect constitutes a Major Malediction.
Cost: 28

[i]Liberi de Perditu (exemplar edition) [/i]: Perdo Summa (L 20, Q 10)
Author: Bonisagus (Com +3, Good Teacher, Perdo 40)

Features: +1 Well Bound, +1 Well Scribed, +1 Well Illustrated
Notes: Arioch of Tremere was a renowned Necromancer of House Tremere, and in the twelfth century he had a short career as a prolific writer.

Author: Namoricus of Jerbiton (Com -1, Good Teacher, Aquam 33)
Features: +1 Well Bound, +1 Well Scribed, +1 Well Illustrated, +1 Glossed
Notes: This is one of the classic Pillars of the Arts, written in 909 AD. by the famed mariner magus William of Jerbiton.

Rescued by his merefolk friends, he acquired a Deficiency in his favored Art but acquired the Good Teacher Virtue. Afterwards he wrote this tome then retired as a magus. It includes this story and many others, including his alleged encounter with the King of Atlantis, used as didactic tales. The first nine times a student reads this book, one point of his study total is diverted to Magic Lore. A student can divert more study towards Magic Lore, seeking out the specific tales (for convenience, say there is nine). However, no more than 9xp total can be gained in Magic Lore from this book. Further study is Aquam only.

Notes: As an experiment, Florenzo attempted to bind the codex with the use of Rego Craft-Magic (via an enchanted device).

Author: Inirelte of Flambeau (Com +1, Ignem 34)
Features: +1 Well Bound, +1 Well Scribed, +1 Well Illustrated, +1 Glossed
Notes: This book is considered a classic, written by the very famous Inirelte of Flambeau. She Yet another classic pillar, Inirelte named the book “Riddles of Mars” in response to the comment made by her covenant mate Horace of Tremere about the inferiority of the Art of Ignem as compared to Corpus. She reminded him that fire was the providence of Mars, the symbol the Tremere, and that it was Flambeau who defended Tremere against Tytalus and taught his House the Art of War. This was the beginning of an intense rivalry between the two, which produced the achievements of this book and her having invented what is known as Inirelte’s Certamen. This style of Certamen is a Creo-Ignem contest focused on the use of the spell “CrIg15 Test of the Flames”, for fire is the answer to the riddle. The Lab Text for this spell is included in this codex, as is a Tractatus for Mastery of this spell. Mastery of this spell is required to duel in the style of Iniretle’s Certamen. You may add your Mastery score to Attack or Defense as you choose from round to round. Also, various mastery abilities have an effect on the duel. Penetration adds Mastery to your Weakening; Resistance doubles your Resistance score; Fast Cast adds +3 to Initiative and Quick Cast adds +1 each time it is taken; Imperturbable adss Mastery to any Concentration rolls required; Stalwart adds 1 to the Fatigue Loss increment each time it is taken (e.g., if you take it twice, a Weakening of 7 only results in the loss of one Fatigue level). Some new Mastery abilities that pertain only to this school are Attack which adds +1 to your Attack each time it is chosen, and Defense which adds +1 to Defense each time it is chosen. This book is written in a very structured manner, and split study is not allowed. At least a season must be spent studying the Summa first. Then, unless the student already knows the spell, they must learn “Test of the Flames using the Lab Text included (those who already know the spell glance over he Lab Text the season they study the summa). After that, the student may study the Spell Mastery Tractatus, which also teaches them how to duel in the style of Inirelte’s Certamen. They may choose any Mastery ability that they desire.
Cost: 36 (25 for summa, 3 for Lab Text, 8 for Tractatus)

But comes away with a deep sense of contemplation and resolves to be more patient and prudent in the future.

Author: Valdaern filus Valdaern of Flambeau (Com +2, Good Teacher, Terram 31, Verditius Cult Lore 10)
Features: +1 Well Bound, +1 Well Scribed, +1 Well Illustrated, +1 Glossed, +1 Resonant Materials, +3 Embedded Code
Notes: Valdaern was another early Knight of Seneca, the apprentice of Valdarius of Flambeau who had renounced House Verditius during the Schism War and joined House Flambeau. The book is bound in a steel cover which came from the very forge for which it is named. His opus on Terram is coded in such a way as to preserve the Verditius Cult lore of his lineage. A magus with Verditius magic and a Verditius Cult Lore score of less than the coded summa level of 4 diverts up to half their Study total towards Verditius Cult Lore, (with a minimum of 2 points, because it is distracting). Magi without Verditus Lore or whose score already equals or exceed the summa level of 4, study the Terram portion only. Also coded within these pages is the script to Self Initiate the Major Magic Focus in Arms and Armour.
Cost: 89 (28 for Terram Summa, 28 for Verditius Cult Lore Summa, 30 for Mystery Script, 3 for embedded code)
