New spell

Thwarting the Thaumaturgical Threat
Similar to Winds of Mundane Silence, but scaled down to affect a single spell. This will counter or cancel a spell if your roll of a SD + (Level + 10) equals or exceeds twice the level of the opposing spell. Countering another spell as it is being cast requires a successful Fast Cast roll.

Appearance
Justus Felix is a man with quite good looks even though they aren’t extraordinary they still draw attention especially from the women. He has quite long dark hair and shows little sign of ever being able to grow a beard. His eyes are steel grey and full of determination. He is a man who cares about his appearance and more fit into the Jerbiton stereotype rather than the hedge wizard stereotype.

Background

Justus Felix had rather uneventful childhood as he grew up in a little village of Pomerania. Even though he grew up in Pomerania he learned to speak German as a child. Justus father where a trader who travelled the land and traded items back and forth. As Justus begun to develop the gift it became more and more difficult for his father to have him with him. Luckily for his father an magus offered to by the boy for a significant amount of silver. Thus Justus begun his apprenticeship.

Justus followed his master far and wide in the realms of the Rihne tribunal and where trained at a number of different covenants that he and his master stopped by. After passing his gauntlet Justus Felix begun to train for setting out on a mission to civilise his former home, having heard the tales of werewolves and witches as a child he knew that it where work to be done there.

During his travels in the Rihne tribunal he had met lots of magi and made quite an impression on most people he met, especially the women. As he had a self imposed mission to civilise the denizens of Pomerania, Justus begun to work for a chance to fund a covenant of his own in the deep forests. Justus bargained and where give lots of favours but where at last given permission to fund a covenant in the Pomeranian forest.

Born to a family in Northern Italy , difficult childhood due to the strong Gift until found and recruited by a Flambeau magus. Trained at a covenant in Northern Italy by a Benedict filius Phillipius Niger following in the school and magical lineage of Apromor showed a great ability in destructive magic’s. Soon grew to disdain melee believing a magus should be above such things but at the insistence of her parens learnt the use of the X-Bow for those cases where magic would not suffice. The covenant located near the border with the Transylvanian tribunal was the home of several Flambeau magi, as well as several members of House Ex Miscallanea whose origins lay with a group of necromancers similar to those recruited by the Tremere these mages had stayed out of the order until Apromor brought them into the order after the founding mainly to spite Tremere they live quietly at the covenant staying out of Hermetic politics and avoiding the notice of the Tremere. In return for the protection of the Flambeau magi of the covenant they help in training new magi and in the case of Marialla they where able to teach her the basics of their leadworking technique

Initially unable to find a covenant to settle in traveled to various flambeau covenants learning of the ideals of the house, learning of a new covenant trying to bring more mages into the Order traveled there to assist in the noble endeavor of recruiting into the order and also protect those involved in the endeavor should they face any dangers.

Moving the stone sled
R: Touch D: Sun T: Ind
Enchants a block or piece of stone, large enough to bear the caster and several chests of supplies or a couple other people, to carry her along at her mental direction. The stone moves with a speed, direction, and height above the ground that he decides (maximum speed as of a galloping horse, maximum height of 10 paces above the ground). The stone can only maneuver across terrain that can support it, and so cannot cross water or crevasses without sinking unless they are no more than 10 paces deep. If the stone does not have sides or frame for support and the caster directs the stone to maneuver rapidly, he may be forced to make a Dexterity + Agility roll or fall from the stone.

History:

Katja was born to a family of glassworkers. Her grandfather had moved to Szczecin to settle around St. Jacob's Church to work on the glasswork for the church. He brought with him his wife, and grown sons and their wives and set up a glassworks. The family prospered despite number changes of sovereignty.

Katja learned to work and blow glass with her brothers and cousins while growing up. As wealthier craftmen able to make valuable goods, she had a privileged life. She had a real talent for blowing larger bubbles to cut and laydown for silvering to make mirrors. Little did she know that her affinity for the sands and glass was in part a waking gift. One day, a mage came into the shop to purchase goods his covenant and seeing her work and how glass almost perfectly fit, checked for a gift. He immediately arranged to apprentice the 12 year old girl paying her family off.

This lead to her being taken to Fengheld initially but at the end of her first year, a mage at durenmar claimed her from her tremere master as the affinity and natural inclinations towards glass fit his current project and needs. She spent time at Durenmar training hard and insuring her paren's lab was in top shape. She learned the variant of spells to create stone wall and to transport a person past it as a way to protect and enter/leave her mater's lab in her later years of apprenticeship.

Eventually she passed her gauntlet and glasswork paid for continued study at Durenmar's library but she wanted a lab or her own so she has been watching for an opportunity. Thanks to her control of rego and perdo she found a large strone rock and then used perdo to carve a seat and storage area so she had a way to move when the time came.

Krispin ex Miscellanea
Male, Size 0
Age: 32

Krispin has a slight frame, a reasonably well-kept brown beard, and kind gray eyes. He wears a simple brown or gray robe with no outer markings, a well-made belt with pouches for herbs and tools, and carries a large walking staff. The son of a Flemish apothecary, he was frequently prone to strange, often symbolic visions, which interfered with his father's training and generally made him a nuisance. His parens took him first out of compassion for his situation but then trained Krispin as a healer and root-cutter when his distaste for violence became apparent. As Krispin's power matured the visions diminished gradually, though they still manifest from time to time. His Gentle Gift and desire to heal (using herbal remedies and mundane skill, primarily) made him popular among the covenfolk during his later apprenticeship as his skills grew.

Wizard's Sigil: The scent of herbs, which varies as appropriate to the spell. Lavender often figures prominently.

History: Tatiana was born to one of the faerie lords who dallied with a Volhkzy priestess who had joined the Thousand Cave covenant. Her mother was learning the hermetic arts and how to merge the Volhkzy traditions with hermatic magic. She spent her early years at the covenant. This let her learn latin early. Still her mother was slow to recognze her aging and so her apprenticeship actually started several years after it could have since the other mages either had apprentices or were not wanting one at the time. The time did let her get passing knowledge of other languages from redcaps. Since the covenant had fae obsession and research, she also had plenty of time to develop her second sight and skills for dealing with the fae.

Her training was very rote, methodical with elements of the tradition. Just as the prayers and rituals and deals with the fae lords have to be precise, her own magical training stressed this. She like her mother had the natural affinity to corpus and rego which fit much of the roles the Volhkzy performed. As her apprenticeship completed, she worked to develop in her areas of weakness. She learned a couple more spells. She practiced on her magical defense an precision since she was told it was dangerous beyond the covenant walls. Still she knew that she had to roam and see more than the mountains and she did not believe the obsession that rules in the walls of the covenant. She studied some more in her specialty, in the arts of corpos and creo and then finally left when word came of a covenant being formed at the edge of Novgorod and Rhine. It would be a good place to go and perhaps also her sigil if those westerners were to keep from trying to make Novgorod into part of the rhine.

Thousand Cave Volhkzy Tradition:
Location: Mostly Ural Mountains in Novgorod Tribunal with a few having wandered into Transylvania and Rhine
Major non-Hermetic: Strong Faerie blood (Gold or White Court Seelie), Shape shifter
Minor Hermetic Virtue: Method caster (from volhkzy traditions)
Major Hermtic Flaw: Deficiency Muto

Background story & appearance: Due to his Gift's strange nature young Peter had many problems with ordinary people during his childhood but always had some interesting friends, even though they tended to be strange somehow. His mother died in childbed when he was six. From then onward he accompanied his father, who worked as a stonemason. When Peter turned 14, his father was working at the buildingsite of a monastery, there was an fire, and his father lost his life. The monks took the boy in, first out of charity, but then the abbot, a learned man who had studied in Bologna and been introduced into the magic arts there, realized that the boy was Gifted, too (and took a spontanous liking to him). He offered him a place among the monks, but instead of keeping him to the usual schedule of work and prayers, he opened his Gift to learned magic and used him as assistant in his studies of magic.
The pair worked on various projects, mainly trying to investigate some 'primitive' magic traditions and to produce charms that allowed them to duplicate their powers. As they were actually quite successful, his master was invited to join the order after some years , and so Peter became an apprentice of the order at the age of 17 – far too late to change his style of magic. During his apprenticeship he could see how his master was repeatedly treated as a second class wizard by some of his sodales and more than once bullied via certamen. The other apprentices of the covenant also tried to give young Peter a similar treatment, but soon found that it was less troublesome for them to accept him, he even became a kind of leading figure among them in their scant spare time. In due time he passed his gauntlet, and hit the road again to get a chance to meet foreign magic users again and to study their arts. During his journey he ran into a group of folk witches who didn't like the idea to be turned into objects of these field studies, and so Petrulus had to move on. He has decided to find a place in a covenant on the fringes of the order, far enough away from these vengeful witches and with ample opportunity to broaden his knowledge. Somehow he heard of Ad Fons (probably from one of the peregrinatores who didn't stay very long), and as it was Justus' pater who introduced Petrulus' pater into the order this seemed like a good place to go, especially as the place is starting to get a reputation as a small place of learning.
If Petrulus had been born without the Gift few people would remember his everyday face if they passed him on the road, and his live dedicated to learning and magic has left him with a rather clumsy body and a lack of muscles. All this is offset by his pleasant soft voice, which turns him into a good singer. People who know Peter better know that there is an iron will behind the soft appearance of this man.

New Version of Tyrion. I goofed on some math early on and fixed it by adding 5 years to his pre-apprenticeship (which means his parens kept him as a caged guinea pig for even longer).

Similar to Conjure The Wizards Tower, only the resultant structure is a single story, 1-room cottage. While the exterior is a single block of stone with only minimal design elements (gargoyles in the corner, etc), the interior returns to Tyrion’s usual style of artifice, with many hidden spaces in the interior wall.

Pater's Fist
PeVi 10, Voice, Mom, Ind, CT 11
Weakens and possibly destroys a creature of the magic realm. If the spell penetrates the target's MR, it looses Might Score equal to the spell's level (10).

Biography
Francloid ex Verditii, Verditus, infamous for his mind-boggling building designs and reckless experiments with Forces Hermetic Magicians Toy With All The Time But Usually Know Enough To Wear Gloves While Poking Them, was once famously chastised by Stanlius of Bonisagus with the words, “All I’m saying is that a building usually has an inside and an outside.”

The boy, Tyrion was won by Francloid in a gambling match with the Great Dwarven weaponsmithi[/i], Vabok Vaboksholid, who had conceived the child on a Merinita maga as part of some larger bargain. Though Tyrion has never learned the name of his birth mother, he suspects that Francloid sought him as a prize to spite the maga.

For many years after Francloid had won the child, he used the child as the subject of vile experiments (some of which permanently affected him) until the boy grew old enough to seek help from one of Francloid’s soldales at Laguna Sententia. The precocious child challenged the Tytalus, Patrick the Unrepentant to a game of poker, and very quickly won her as a champion in the fight to win his apprenticeship from his master. To this day, Tyrion still thinks that Queen-high will beat a pair of Jacks.

Tyrion challenged Francloid to Certamen through his champion, and won the right to his long-overdue apprenticeship. Patrick, in typical Tytalli fashion, encouraged Tyrion to demand Francloid himself take the boy on. Tyrion needed to prove himself to the bastard who’d been torturing him ever since he left the Fae Realms. The boy threw himself into his lessons, struggled with his trials, and passed the Gauntlet, but never once earned so much as a word of approval from his pater.

In the 5 years since passing his Gauntlet, Tyrion has wandered the Rhine Tribunal as a Peregrinator. He is well-known among the RedCaps, always with a pile of letters in his hands for every magus he’s ever met. Tyrion desperately seeks the approval and admiration of others. Recently, he has traveled to the Pomeranian forests, in search of his faerie father.

Tyrion's Grogs
The wretched lot of screwups who got kicked out of Tyrion's pater's covenant and stuck guarding "The Disappointment."

Venito Heinlich, Grizzled Jewish Veteran
(based on Grizzled Veteran, ArM5 pg 21) Differences:
Flaws: Weakness (minor personality) replaced with Outsider - Jew (major social)
Merits: add Well Traveled (minor General), Gossip (minor general)
Skills: Hebrew 5 (insults), replace a secondary skill with an appropriate Lore
Description: He's actually pretty good about his job, but he's....you know, one of them.

Tomas, the Unsung Warrior-Poet
(based on Standard Soldier, ArM pg 22) Differences:
Merits: Free Expression (minor general), Educated (minor general)
Flaws: Weakness (sketching), Humble (minor personality), Short Attention Span (minor personality)
Skills: Latin 4 (listening to magi), replace Etiquette with Artes Liberales 2 (reading and writing), replace Carouse with Craft: Painting 3 (sketches), replace Charm with Music 2 (humming), replace Guile specialty with (feigning incomprehension), adjust other specialties as needed.
Description: Sadly, Tomas is more likely to end up gutted on the end of a faerie sword than he is to ever have someone appreciate his art. He pretends not to know Latin or letters, lest he get stuck with so much work that he won't have time to paint or draw. Also, he sometimes steals the materials he needs to fuel his artistic endeavors. He may very well have invented the pocket sketchbook, and if anyone ever found his collection of journals, they'd have a disturbingly accurate account of his life among the magi.

Gerard, the Turb Warrior / OoH Groupie
(the character sheet available from the ArM website)
Description: IMHO, Gerard, who collects copies of sigils like they were trading cards, is all the funnier compared to Tomas.

As with all grogs, these are mere outlines of characters, and might change at the whim of any of us.
