Transylvanian Tribunal

From Project: Redcap

The Transylvanian Tribunal is the Regional Tribunal that includes modern-day Romania, Hungary, Slovakia, and the other Balkan states south up to Albania, Macedonia, and northern Bulgaria. It is geographically large, extending from the eastern foothills of the Alps to the shores of the Black Sea.

The Transylvanian Tribunal is bordered on the west by the Roman Tribunal, on the northwest by the Greater Alps Tribunal, on the north by the Rhine and Novgorod Tribunals, and on the south by the Theban Tribunal. See the Map of Mythic Europe.

Current Edition Resources

A sourcebook for the Transylvanian Tribunal Against the Dark was released in January 2013. Author Timothy Ferguson has made his Timeline available on his blog: Timeline.

The tribunal is described to some extent in Houses of Hermes: True Lineages 116, 114. It says the Tribunal has a small Hermetic presence, dominated by House Tremere but also including nearly half as many non-House magi as guests of the House[1]. See HoHTL. Only one covenant, Coeris, is described - but other large and small Tremere covenants are alluded to. These include Lycaneon, the House's source of amber[2].

Past Edition Resources

In earlier editions, the Transylvanian Tribunal was described only with a half-page of text in Order of Hermes[3]. That out-of-print supplement described it as a haven for magi, a land rich in vis where the Dominion held sway only during daylight and the Magical and Faerie Realms ruled the night. It was described as the fastest-growing Tribunal in the Order because of its rich magical resources. (Note that this portrayal conflicts with more recent canon regarding the Transylvanian Tribunal.)
