Iberian Tribunal

The Iberian Tribunal is the regional Tribunal covering the Iberian Peninsula south of the Pyrenees: most of what is today Spain and Portugal. It is bordered on the north by the Provençal Tribunal. It is one of the border Tribunals of the Order: to the south, across the Straits of Gibraltar, lies Muslim North Africa, which is outside the Order of Hermes altogether. See the Map of Mythic Europe
