Sorry, I have been seriously lacking in motivation to build a new character, I don't want things to get any slower than they already are because of me, so feel free to start without me.
I will keep trying to squeeze something out of my brain but I don't know if it will come.
Ok. You mentioned that before.
If you have any idea for a story, maybe you could start it and we have that one and Telsberg Trouble going in parallel. Maybe something investigative for Regulus, with Wolfgang tagging along for muscle (Regulus is not an incredible investigator yet (except for Posing the Silent Question) so this could be either an easy case or something hard for him to realize how much he still must improve himself).
Regulus would also be interested on rumors of a lynx around the valley. I've been thinking on a Lynx of Virtue for his familiar, it could be a chance for them to have first contact... specially if you are willing to play his familiar as your companion (I'd not be against it).
Regulus should soon begin a trip to the Rhine in order to peruse the Tribunal records in Durenmar. It would also be an opportunity, either for having trouble on the road (I figure he is going by foot) or when visiting Durenmar and other covenants.
@Arthur what kind of stories would suit Gaius Julius (if any)?
(Just noticed he speaks Ancient Greek. Regulus is going to talk with him more than what I first thought.)
@Plot_Device if you want to play the grogs in the Telsberg story, that's fine too. They should have a decent role to play as they speak to less-prominent (but still important) members of the Telsberg household.
@RafaelB note that Julius isn't really made to be played outside of the covenant. He's built more as a prop for providing information and services. So I'm not looking for stories involving him as a main character.
I'll try to come up with some ideas for the story involving Regulus visiting Confluensis. Do you have a preference for the story theme?
Since you stated Julius I thought that maybe you envisioned some on-covenant stories. If I happen to think of something interesting I'll suggest it.
Unless you have some specific idea that would only work in Confluensis, maybe we could move forward with the first steps for our covenant to join the Rhine? I was thinking of having Regulus travel there next year and try to get in touch with a few covenants.
No preference for theme, I'd just point that Regulus is ill suited for combat. Maybe negotiate a settlement between two magi, or two covenants, or a covenant and the Church (or anything else that seems interesting to you)? Investigate (or help another quesitor to investigate) an hermetic crime?
Also, he is unlikely to stay put after witnessing unreasonable abuse to an apprentice.
We can certainly move forward to the next Spring. 
Looking at Regulus' stats, I see that he has Favours as a major flaw. Could you edit his character sheet to add a bit of detail on that? It could certainly come up during the story and I don't want to have to dig up through all the background to find the relevant pieces of information. Lazy me! 
I seem to remember that a part of it was his enmity to his pater, but there was more, wasn't there?
You must have checked his stats at gauntlet, in 1199. In 1200 Favours changed to Tormenting Master after a faux-pass in the Normandy Tribunal. His current stats should correctly reflect that.
I've put a short description of Valerian (and his opinions on Regulus) here. There is more about him in the Normandy Tribunal book, p.137 (I can write an abridged version of that if it makes things easier on you ^^).
Ah, my bad! 
Since we are approaching the end of the year, happy holidays to everyone!
Are we still up for this saga? It seems Clusius had an accident during his research and entered a temporary twillight, making it impossible for him to answer the Telsberg invitation before the winter arrived. =/
This might be a good opportunity to bring new players into the saga. While they make their characters
and settle I could run something, to keep our old bones moving? I sure have a few ideas for things that would interest Clusius during the harsh winter in the icy covenant.
My bad. Things have been intense and a bit stressful at work, which hasn't given me much mental space to work on the saga. 
I am certainly open to having new players join the saga, such as it is, but I'm not sure how much time I'll be able to dedicate to it for the next two months.
If you want to take a more active role storyguiding and validating concepts for the any new player, go ahead! I'll try to chime in as time allows.
No problem. We are all busy, I also dropped the ball a bit.
I'll bump the last open call to let people know we have slots.
@Plot_Device, are you still here? Any thoughts? I still intend to run that story about giants, if you want to play, and if you want to run something I can finish that minor hedge wizard (in case you are stuck on what would be good for Regulus).
I am still around. I can't deny I'd given up, but excited at the prospect that this could get moving again. I hadn't thought of a hedge wizard as a hook for Regulus, but I think I did have some vague ideas. To be honest I've forgotten whatever I had, but I don't mind starting over.
I was actually thinkint of stating my companion (I had commited to a hedge wizard). I'd play with him instead of Regulus, in the case you think Regulus is too chalenging to run stories for. =]
But if you want to play a hedge companion I'd gladly concede... And of course, Regulus would promptly investigate any report of magic, to make sure we don't have anyone breaching the code. 
Just throwing some ideas around. I'm fine with whatever sticks. If you already have something in mind we can go with that. =]
Oh, no, I wasn't thinking of playing a hedge companion, I was just saying I didn't realize Regulus would be interested in a hedge story.
I don't have any companion idea, I always have trouble coming up with those.
Oh, I see. I misunderstood you. Or maybe I expressed myself poorly in the first place.
Would you rather begin something or do I go ahead with the rumours about giants?
If you wanted to go ahead with the giant story, that would be great. I wouldn't mind waiting for other players, but this site seems a lot quieter than it used to be, as far as recruiting goes.
It may be a bit strange, playing your magus meeting your own companion, but I guess I don't mind if you don't.
Hello
as stated I would love to play a Merinita, and would love to get caught up to speed on what Magi are present, and what stories have been had.
Regulus, Wolfgang and Clusius are the remaining active magi. We've really just had one story, though there is a lot of narrative in the way we're doing advancement.
So we have a Muto Specialist, a Perdo (Vim and Ignem) specialist, and an Intellego Specialist.
If I understand correctly, the valley is surrounded by mountains, not too far from modern day Basel.
Perdo/Creo, but yes.
There is a map somewhere...
