Setting and Description
Obodas is located in a Faerie Regio, that resembles the Plateau the ruined city of Avdat is located upon. But the Regio shows the city as it was intact, and in the ancient temple of Obodas, the Faerie god resides. He lets the magi do as they please, as long as they do not come near the temple complex.
Geography
The plateau is about 100 paces above the surrounding area, with a steep climb leading up there. The surface itself is about 146,000 square paces, and most of it is constructed with a variety of buildings, from the various temples to the Nabatean gods, to villas of prosperous merchants, to craftsmen studios, and everything in between. And perimeter is walled. The regio encompasses also a small area around the base of the plateau. There's a path leading down, where there are some farms that seem to grow all sorts of delicacies, without any human hand involved.
Culture and Traditions
The covenant has a mix of covenfolk from Europe, and locals, and both groups tend to keep a distance from the other. While the local covenfolk have adjusted to living with the magi, there's some tension due to the animosity from the local hedge tradition, and from the Sahirs.
As for the residing Magi, they are predominantly from House Merinita, not surprising with the Faerie Aura, but Florence, the founder, is now gone, and she's left Vivienne of Merinita to lead the covenant. Most of the Merinita here tend to follow the Nature Mysteries of the House, with a focus on desert.
Story Hook: One with the Desert
It is said that Vivienne has discovered a new Mystery, or is on the verge of one, that will allow her to become a true Genius Locii on Final Twilight. What could such a thing do to the struggle between Nature and Faerie within House Merinita? And what will be the effect on the struggles between the Hermetics and the Sahirs and other local traditions?
