Aura, x2 (minor boon): The site of the covenant has a large level five magical Aura
Haunted (minor hook): The ghosts of numerous former residents remain in the temple complex. Most are so far gone that they are merely background settings. But a few have enough awareness to interact with the real world.
Healthy Feature (minor boon): The covenant is on an airy hill overlooking the surrounding countryside. As such, it gives a -1 to all Aging checks for people living at the covenant.
Limited Aura, x5 (major boon): The central part of the covenant, including all of the major temple structures, has a level ten magical Aura.
Monster (major hook): Arviderax the Resplendent, a powerful dragon, lives in the central temple of the covenant. The covenant members have an alliance with Arviderax, but he’s still largely an unknown element.

Crumbling (minor hook): While extremely sturdy, the temple structures are also over two thousand years old. As such, they are crumbling in places.
Edifices, x7 (minor boon x6, free boon x1): Among the temples in the covenant there are seven that are of note. One is a large, central temple, in which Arviderax lives. This one is free, since the covenant does not have use of this building. The other six are ideal for laboratories, meeting halls, libraries, or the like.
Temples (free boon): The covenant is formed in a fallen temple district on the island of Atlantis. These temples are used for most of the needs of the covenant. These structures are made of sturdy stone, but are not designed to be defensible.
[size=150]RESOURCES[/size]
Secondary Income (minor boon): The covenant has a Typical source of income in Charity from other covenants. The magi know that this income source will not last forever, so it behooves them to develop other income sources on the island.
Wealth (minor boon): The covenant has a Greater source of income in Charity from other covenants. Half of this goes to paying the demands of Arviderax, leaving the other half to cover covenant expenses. The magi know that this income source will not last forever, so it behooves them to develop other income sources on the island.

Rival (major hook): The undersea kingdom of Atlantis laid claim to the covenant’s location when it was underwater. They can’t use it now that the complex is above ground, but they’re unlikely to be happy about it, and will no doubt cause trouble.
