View source for Novgorod Tribunal

The Novgorod Tribunal is the [[Regional Tribunal]] covering Scandinavia, Poland, and Russia. It is by far the largest Tribunal geographically, but for the most part it is sparsely populated by both magi and mundanes. It borders on the [[Rhine Tribunal|Rhine]] and [[Transylvanian Tribunal]]s, as well as pagan lands to the east.  See the [http://www.atlas-games.com/pdf_storage/europemap.pdf Map of Mythic Europe].

[[Mythic Iceland]] is also generally considered to be part of the Novgorod Tribunal.

After 14 years of battling a series of infernal manifestations, the intrigues of the Sword Brethren, and skirmishes with the local faeries the Covenant of Paparotno has established a learned bastion against the storms approaching from the East. Around them the Novgorod Tribunal decays into chaos, with a [[Wizard's March]] against the rogue covenant Priper Maior now looming.
