Background Story:
Excerpt from the special convening of the Stonehenge tribunal, Anno Arietis 1354, subscribed from latin by Thomas of Lanchester
Following the official investigation into the death of Master Geoffrey Cethegus of Tytalus and the destruction of the convent of Black Cliff, and after hearing the testimonials and confessions of Arturous of York, we pass the following verdict:
That having committed high crimes; dabbling with the Infernal, consorting with Demons and endangering our Order through his actions, Master Aleron Merula of Tytalus is herefore cast out. He who can provide evidence of being responsible for his demise shall be awarded the sum of two rocks of vis, paid for by the Stonehenge tribunal.
That having committed high crimes; dabbling with the Infernal, consorting with Demons, meddling into the affairs of mortals and endangering our Order through his actions, Master Primus of Tytalus is herefore cast out. Having been captured and brought to stand trial by Jerome Ahenobarbus of Flambeau, Primus’s sentence will be carried out immediately, according to the verdict of this tribunal.
That the convent of Black Cliff is hereby dissolved; its stores of Vis, tomes and magical items and goods shall be transferred to the possession of the Stonehenge tribunal, following an inspection by the Quaesitores, to do with as they see fit.
That the apprentices of Primus; Arturous of York and William of London, while being a party to the above mentioned crimes, are absolved of all guilt by virtue of their uninitiated status and will be hereby handed to new masters from the Stonehenge tribunal.
That the apprentice of Aleron; Anatalia of Muscovy, while being a party to the above mentioned crimes, is absolved of all guilt by virtue of her uninitiated status. Anatalia must appear before this tribunal by year’s end, and submit to the tribunal inquiries as to her actions and whereabouts pertaining to the incident at Black Cliff.
That the judgment of this special tribunal will be conveyed to all our brethren, in every tribunal, in every province, so the above mentioned crimes shall be made known to all.
The Quaesitores shall launch an immediate investigation of masters, apprentices and known associates of the accursed Cabal of Black Cliff, to ensure that the corruption has not spread further into the midst of our Order.
We deliver our judgment before the tribunal, in good faith, this month of Aries
Quaesitore Tiberius Tuditanus
