Deep in the Pyranees mountains, safely esconced between the Provencal and Iberian Tribunals is a small community which is a covenant unto itself- it has kept to it's pagan roots while allowing teh church to build a chapel there- which the covenant controlls access to. The covenant has a reputation for producing outstanding students, and is led by a group of 5 magi which are refered to by outsiders as the cult of Venus- what they call themsleves is unknown except to them. What is clear is that this group of magi practices a form of fertility magic which has allowed this covenant through the ages to produce gifted young magi, some of which it trains as successor mages, others it send outside to be trained elsewhere...
This game will be *exclusively* for companions (and grogs) which may include young gifted companions who will be trained to become magi as the game progresses...
