TRIAMORE: MAIN FEATURES
The covenant is as described in the ArM4 supplement.
The main change is that the covenant is just a few years old. It was given to a pair of Virgilians in 2017 and they are still around. Now they are doing a roll call for new recruits, as they are finding the running of the covenant taxing and they are facing problems they fear will not be able to overcome on their own.
The player characters are the mystical users that answered their open invitation.
INFRASTRUCTURE
As described, except that the towers are not guttered since there has not been a mystical attack o the covenant. Not very relevant, but just in case.
INHABITANTS
All this can change, but we are taking the setting characters as our working default except for the changes outlined below. The players will also bring companions and grogs no doubt, so some of this information will change for sure as some characters are removed to make space for new arrivals or are taken over by players and designed anew.
The most relevant changes will be as follows.
Anaxagoras and Ulisterius (NPC) are around, and members of the Virgilians. They are the ones that created the covenant a decade ago. Daria LaGris is apprenticing to Anaxagoras, while Lars is apprenticing to Ulisterius. Daria is a serious 14-year-old with a marked sense of duty, way above her age. Lars is a 13-year-old gentle gifted young man. He is easy going and seems to be very smart and liked by the servants of the covenant. There are currently no other magi. A maga named Forba stayed for a pair of ears in the basement and did some weird things with the cellars, but nothing untoward for an Architect.
The magi and their apprentices are out for periods of game time, as they need to attend the court of the Emperor.
The turb is downgraded to just 5 mercenaries (crossbowmen) and 1 Custos per magus, plus Froese and Johan the gentleman that acts as the knight and captain of the castle.

The book also mentions Brother Chretien, a visiting monk scholar, and Nasir a Moorish from the court of Granada. None of them are given much role in the covenant, so we can use or remove them as we see fit.
All of these are up for grabs if any player wants them, or they can be removed at our convenience to make space for our own characters.
There are also the 3 following main characters in the village: Hugh the bailiff, Gilbert le long the Reeve, and Pere Hugo, the priest. The village also has a miller, alewife, jurist, hayward and other persons of note but minor status.
