Current Edition covenants
The Rhine Tribunal is a large tribunal, containing many magi residing in nine detailed covenants plus one to six storyguide-added covenants, and an undetermined number living as peregrinatores or eremites.
The canonic covenants are Crintera, Dankmar, Durenmar, Fengheld, Heorot, Oculus Septentrionalis, Roznov, Triamore, and Waddenzee.
Past Edition Resources
- The covenant of Crintera is partially based on the Animal Powers chapter in Mythic Places. Note that the description of the covenant and implied House Bjornaer structure is slightly at odds with certain aspects of the House as given in Houses of Hermes: Mystery Cults.
