Well, we used to play our last saga (just recently ended in a final battle in Scotland) in Normandy, Brittany concretely, but we were not canon given the fact that we had set up our covenant before the current tribunal book was out.
Our covenant was called Carnac, and you guess where it was located
It was a mystic tower on a rocky promontory, and we carved the promontory for extra space as well.
If we would have had a liege I guess it would have been Fudarus given our warlike predisposition, but any warlike covenant would have made it. We were at odds with Fudarus, but that is OK for tytaleans, so no biggie Fudarus could still be our liege due the teenager-like behavior of your average tytalus mage.
4 mages there: 1 knightly jerbiton, 1 wolf exmiscellanea (not clear if it was a wolf with the Gift or a magus with a panache for wolves), 1 old school unsubtle flambeau that would make Pitsdim cover in shame and a Bonisagus expert in auras that thought the other 3 were mad but useful to protect him while he investigated the shifting auras of Carnac and the dangerous wild.
Covenant obsession/mission: to investigate the shifting pattern of the aura of Carnac. It ended up developing into an armed camp when we got hold of a potential return of Davnalleus. It happenedto be true and it became a full fledged war saga. But that is our case
A team of investigators of Carnac sounds feasible for one of the covenants in your saga.
Can't recall if this was the case in the current tribunal book, but just for the sakes of annoying the tytaleans, we had a Tremere covenant in the Alpine foothills that "curiously" always went to test their area of effect spells near Fudarus for spells that cause floods, earthquakes and people to hate hermetic magic. We know it is not canon, but we like tremeres being the embittered younger brother. Specially because we ruled in a previous campaign that the Sundering was caused by tytaleans.
There was also a Jerbiton dominated covenant in Avignon.
IIRC the new Flambeau domus magna is in Normady as well, right?
