Doissetep was a powerful Autumn Covenant in the Provençal Tribunal. We say "was" because Doissetep is not mentioned by name in Fifth Edition canon and probably never will be, due to trademark issues.[1]
Doissetep was portrayed as a huge (23 magi, 300 grogs) and powerful covenant[2] that had an extremely extensive arcane library, at least by later editions' standards[3]. The magi had a hierarchy, with higher-ranking wizards able to give orders to lower-ranking ones. In general, Doissetep seemed to promote competition among its members.
Doissetep is a trademark of White Wolf, Inc, and, presumably for that reason, is not named in any of the Fourth or Fifth Edition material. Even Faith and Flame, the Tribunal Sourcebook for the Provençal Tribunal that was published in 2014, does not and probably can not mention it by name.[1] However, a very similar Covenant exists by the name of Aedes Mercurii.[4][5]
