Bellaquin is a famous covenant of primarily Jerbiton magi in the Provençal Tribunal. It is located in Andorra. Bellaquin is described in full detail in Faith and Flame, pages 80-83.

In 1220, Bellaquin is at the height of its Summer (or perhaps early Autumn and is famed throughout the Order of Hermes as "one of the most beautiful and magnificent edifices in the Order"[1].

The covenant was once deeply involved in mundane affairs, ruling an area of the countryside and even having feudal vassals[1]. It managed to avoid sanctions from the Tribunal by successfully advocating a permissive interpretation of the Peripheral Code, but eventually provoked the ire of mundane neighbors and was sacked and forced to relocate.

Bellaquin is now located in the village of Ordino in Andorra.[1] It has become much subtler about its mundane engagements since relocating, but still retains strong connections to the mundane world[2]
