Searching for Abu Al-Din
Spring of 1233 - Adventure 40
Charis, Eric d'Ancelin, Thubayta Al-Shafiyya and Alkides set out for the Iberian Tribunal in search of Abu Al-Din, the magus who declared a Wizard's March against Oge. They travel by way of the Provençal Tribunal, and stay at the Covenant of Sylva Quercorum, from where Eric is originally from. While there, they inquire about Lady Cyndiana, the maga who is the mother of Andros, the new ruler of Urania. They also find out that Eric's father died a few years ago, during the Albigensian Crusade, and that his sister now lives in Toulouse and is married to a traitor noble. They travel south through the Pyrenees and into Barcelona, where they make contact with the local Mercere House and learn that the Tribunal is split into two Tribunals, a northern Christian one, and a southern Islamic one. After a complicated boat trip through the Balearic Islands with some smugglers, they make contact with the Hermetic Sahirs and finally find Abu Al-Din near Murcia. The magus tells them that the Wizard's March was based on fake pretenses, a setup constructed together with Oge to help her escape from Salima and make her useless to her as a spy inside the Order of Hermes.

Notes: We postponed the trip to the Iberian Tribunal until the Tribunal book was published by Holocubierta (in Spanish). The trip also featured a session back in Provençe, on their way to Iberia, in part because they wanted background information about Andros (from adventure 30 and adventure 35), but also because that was the site of our previous saga, decades ago. So we took the chance to have a couple of cameos from the players' previous characters, and give a kind of epilogue to how they fared many many years after the other saga.
