Background
Thomas grew up in Belper in Derbyshire, and was taken as an apprentice by a Tytalus and taken to Fudarus. His upbringing was only moderately brutal by Tytalus standards. As a gently Gifted mage, he was mostly taught spells to influence minds and impress people. His magics have focused on Mentem. He has also learned the techniques of adopting a persona.
After his gauntlet, he moved to the Stonehenge tribunal but the Schism war erupted. He spent more and more time in the persona of Thomas Greyne, a cloth merchant, to hide from the warring factions. He married a merchant’s daughter(Davina) and had a son, Simon. Sadly, his old covenant was destroyed while he was out as his persona, and he had to keep his disguise. He is desperately trying to keep Simon well as he knows he will soon need a longevity potion and any children he has now will be the last chance he has (dependant flaw of Simon – I suggest he is a five year old).

First season's experience: 12xp +4 confidence
Sadly, I didn't perform any spells so it all goes into persona and mundane abilities - 5xp persona, 5xp awareness, 2 xp faerie lore (as I spent time in a faerie regio)
Second season's experience: 14xp + 1 confidence (Giant's castle, I didn't participate in any of the Farne islands regio stuff)
I cast ReMe effects on giants, so 5xp Rego 5xp Mentem 1xp Penetration, 3xp into Corpus as I used ReCo to float down from the regio.
Research results on potential covenant sites
The Farne islands off the Eastern Coast of Northumbria is a hub of ancient myth and legend. Others know of it or find information in the books, but most of the stories suggest relatively modest auras, even if the islands may be interesting for their defensibility as well.
What Nauvi finds is a well-hidden remark in one of the books that there is a powerful regio, once used by druids in pre-roman times. There are several lesser regio, forming a labyrinth of passages, including a tunnel to the mainland. There are other powerful beings claiming parts of the archipelago, but there are also islands which should be safe to settle. The details are not clear until you explore.
EDIT. The most powerful regio can be entered from two islands that are only visible on low tide, located at the Northern end of Staple Sound. You also find a mention of the battle of the Wamses, where the referee can earn a pawn of vis, when Roddam is dry for three days.
I'll get back with a few more details once you decide to explore.
Nauvi's dowry:
Grogs +2 (4 shield grogs in a trained unit) as we were short of them
Wealth +2 ( excellent items including a magnificent cloak which gives +1 to making an impression, fine scissors of +1 to cutting accurately, and a dagger which adds +1 to attack rolls)
Vis +1 (3 creo, 3 rego, 4 corpus, the charged items are 3 x bandages which cast Bind Wounds), Books +1 (Q11 Imaginem tractatus)
Lab texts +1 (Cheating the reaper CrCo20, Revealed Flaws of mortal flesh InCo 10, Whispers through the black gate InCo15, Disguise of the New Visage MuCo 15)
