Story Elements

Below are ideas and plot hooks that need resolving by one of the GMs.

Regional Plots
Covenant's Centralised Kingdom Location All the lands in this area are owned. If the covenant becomes known it will need to explain its presense and come to some sort of terms with the lord and owner.

Ruined Covenant Site The ruins beneath our covenant are still somewhat of a mystery. A mix of elements from the original roman temple and the now long dead covenant which was built atop it. Who knows what secrets may be hidden waiting to be discovered.

Tasks to Complete
Vis Sources The Covenant of Sagehollow is newly founded and desperate for resources, most importantly of all is Vis. As if a new source of Rego or Vim vis is not located before the Aegis fails, then the newly founded covenant will be in dire straights.

Assart Rights Forestry in Sherwood is dictated though the assart rights provided in the name of the king by his Foresters, these men are servants of the king of the Sheriff of Nottingham; Robert Gisgard. Sagehollow could utilize these rights to support a great and more legal form of income.

Agents With so many mundane villages and noble estates around Sherwood, the covenant will require agents to keep tabs on the local area, hear about any intriguing information and if necessary remove problematic issues which could threaten the magi.

Monastery Monasteries of Mythic Europe often contain the greatest collections of mundane knowledge outside of the Order of Hermes. Sagehollow luckily has one of these nearby, if they could be convinced to trade, then Sagehollow's library will grow to contain books of Philosophae and Artes Liberales.

Banditry Income Source While Robin Hood and his men can make a decent income source; raiding the caravans of the king and the Sheriff, if the covenant were to be discovered doing this, it would be highly damaging politically and dangerous physically. An alternative income source needs to be investigated.

Sagehollow Covenant Origins The covenant of Sagehollow, has had a deep history, Originally a Roman Temple stood here to a forgottern deity, before the Order of Hermes settled here before the Schism War. During the War the covenant was destroyed, who knows what treasures our forebears have left us... or secrets we would have rather forgotten...

Whatever this ancient Bjornaer has planned for the young magna only time will tell.

Edric Occultes, the leader of the Linden gild of magi in the Rhine tribunal has taken an extra interest in his filius Edric since their time together. Often acting as a mentor to the academically gifted magi and providing aid whenever possible. However, there will likely come a time where Occultes has need of Edrics unique talents, after all, he has done much to help his young filius...

Evelyn A mysterous northman calling himself Wayland has visited Evelyn demonstrating the power of runes while challenging her to find seven swords he forged. There is no doubt that he will continue to watch over her as she proceeds in this task.

Jarod A descendant of the Cernunnos, a mighty primeval faeie whose tale is fear of the wilds itself, has orchestrated the birth of Jarod for some reason beyond mortal understanding. This mighty fae will make sure that its champion is tested so that whatever destiny it has planned for him comes to fruition.

Rian Lóegaire of House Ex Miscellanea may reside in the Hibernian Tribunal (Ireland) but this does not prevent him from causing trouble for his former apprentice. Political trouble insinuated by the mage or indirect trouble from his agents are both possible.
