Revision as of 13:58, 11 August 2012
The Broken Covenant of Calebais is the first scenario ever published for Ars Magica. It is widely regarded as a classic. It was originally printed for First Edition, was later revised for Second Edition, and in 2004 was significantly revised for ArM5 by Erik Dahl.
The title printed on the cover of the Fifth Edition version is Calebais, the Broken Covenant, but it is listed in the Atlas Games online catalog under the original title, The Broken Covenant of Calebais.
Rules Edition: First Edition, Second Edition, and Fifth Edition.
Author(s): Jonathan Tweet and Mark Rein·Hagen. Fifth Edition conversion by Erik Dahl
Publisher: Original version published by Lion Rampant; Fifth Edtion version published by Atlas Games.
ISBN: 1-58978-071-X (Fifth Edition version). No ISBN available for original version.
Release Date: First published c. 1989. Revised and updated November 2004.
Format: Softcover, 96 pages
Availability: Out of print. The Fifth Edition version is available in electronic form.
Subject and Contents
The player characters investigate the ruins of the once-powerful covenant of Calebais. Fifty years ago, the entire covenant was destroyed in a mysterious and sudden catastrophe. To solve the mystery, the characters must overcome the still-potent enchantments that guard the ruins and deal with the strange creatures who dwell there.
The Broken Covenant of Calebais is a mystery story disguised as a dungeon crawl. It has a definite theme and a much stronger plot than the typical expedition into lost ruins.
Fifth Edition Version
There are a couple of noteworthy features specific to the Fifth Edition version.
Errata
The Fifth Edition version of the scenario was written while the ArM5 combat rules were still being finalized. As a result, practically all the combat statistics in the print version are incorrect; errata are published on the Atlas Games Web site.
New and Expanded Chapters
Erik Dahl improved on the original scenario by expanding the introductory chapter and adding an epilogue.
