March 1218. New beginnings

Remi thanks you all for your time and for having come to the meeting. Honorine will be automatically a member of the covenant, the rest will be on a probationary status for a while. That means that what you could do automatically under other circumstances (free usage of the covenant's resources) will be subject to Member approval. Not a major problem in any case.

You all will have unrestricted access to the library in the meantime, and you will be assigned living quarters and, if available and you need it, laboratory space. There is available space in the kitchen area, in Ulisterious tower and above the stables, as well as in front of Daria's rooms, the best ones and the ones with the largest space for a laboratory. The old labs of Aline are out of bounds because “something” is there, and they are not fully sure what it is. The area is pitch black and dangerous.
None of you seem to require a very big lab even if the rules for Elementalists do not specify lab space required for Refining). the chapel might be discussed as a laboratory space, but will be frowned upon if it prevents the space being available for religious services.

(Fade to black)

While you are in the covenant and talking to Morris and Remi, you learn the information about the surrounding political and supernatural situation. Surprisingly the magi of Triamore seem at a loss regarding the supernatural community around the covenant. Except when Remi talks about infernal witches. You detect a hatred there. There are no remaining infernal witches in Namur. he tells you with some satisfaction, as if it was a personal thing. Maybe it was…

The apparent information on the village and castle (main characters, main assets, enchantments, the fact that it is unfinished...) are also learned by the characters. there is concern about the capacity of the castle to withstand even a medium assault as it is. The outer wall has huge gaps that are only being covered by a stout palisade, so any usage of even limited siege equipment (a ram) can open holes in the defenses. Apparently, Daria was working on that, but she decided to abandon the project recently. After seeing her you all understand why.

The registered vis sources of the covenant are the pool of the stone horse, the painted cave and the 3 sisters. And of course, the library. Right now there is an acolyte from Verdun reading a tractatus on the life of saint Peter and the banishing of demons there, but no visitors: you all took the space generally reserved for visitors in a given season.
