Covenant relations within the three tribunals

Usually it is hard for a spring covenant to make itself known among the older covenants. This is not the case with Insula Maledictus, which was founded in the crossfire of three tribunals. There is an agreement between Hibernian, Stonehenge and Loch Leglean tribunals that the vis-rich Isle of Man shall belong to that tribunal, whose magi first establish a permanent covenant there. Now the young, politically inexperienced magi find them in the middle of heated tribunal politics, spying and hatred.

Loch Leglean

The general reputation of Insula Maledictus in Scotland is a good one. The covenant is thought to be a promising one, with talented young magi. Active covenants in the tribunal follow the progress of the young covenant, although they have been reluctant to give any substantial aid to them. After the war against Whitehaven and the return from the trip to Arcadia, the the scottish covenants have started to consider Insula Maledictus a die-hard survivor covenant, because it still stands after countless setbacks. Some contacts include:

 
  • Horsingas, a renegade covenant in the borderlands between England and Scotland. Important for the young magi, as the only quaesitor in Loch Leglean inhabits Horsingas. The relations were largely based on the charming personality of Sir Argyle MacBrannigan. Now that Sir Argyle is dead, it shall be seen what the future brings.
  • Crun Clach, voice of the lowland covenants in Scotland, is localized in a faerie regio. The Praeco of the Tribunal resides here. Nelly was apprenticed in Crun Clach, hence the contact.
  • Agnus Coctus, a relatively reclusive winter covenant near Edinburgh. Origin of late Sir Argyle MacBrannigan and Profanus.
  • Stratus Intimus, Rival covenant founded in the north side of the island during the 20 years spent in arcadia. A summer covenant with six magi.

Stonehenge

Even if Insula Maledictus is unknown to most covenants, somekeep their eye on it very closely. Voluntas and Blackthorn definitely do, since the Isle of Man could be another political subject on which to argue and humiliate the other. After the fall and defeat of Whitehaven, during the time spent in arcadia, the south half of the Isle of Man was given to stonehenge tribunal due to political twists. In the tribunal of 1194, however, it was decided that because Insula Maledictus was not really destroyed, the whole island should still belong to Loch Leglean tribunal.


Hibernia

The magi of Hibernian tribunal are so busy keeping alive in their internal struggles and changing political situation, that they paid little attention to the founding of the covenant on Isle of Man. Not until the young magi banished a demon so powerful that it could have taken over Ireland. Embarassed because they did not realize the danger, they give respect to magi of Insula Maledictus, and leave the covenant in peace.

There is too much going on on their own island (norman invasion, mostly) that they take part in the arguing about Isle of Man. The main contact in Hibernia is the Lombard covenant, a winter covenant in northern Ireland.
