Hibernian Tribunal

From Project: Redcap
(Redirected from Hibernia)

The Hibernian Tribunal is the regional Tribunal covering Ireland. Hibernia is the Latin name for Ireland. The Tribunal has no land borders; the nearest other Tribunals are Stonehenge, Loch Leglean, and Novgorod (because the Novgorod Tribunal includes Iceland). See the Map of Mythic Europe.

The Isle of Man is nearby the Hibernian Tribunal but is not considered to be part of any regional Tribunal. It is sometimes disputed between the Hibernian, Stonehenge, and Loch Leglean Tribunals.

Mundane history

The Wikipedia page Lordship of Ireland provides information of the feudal setup from 1177 - 1542, with links to the Norman invasion in 1169 - 1171. A particular point of interest in recent history is a Papal Bull issued in 1155 by Pope Adrian IV, first and only English Pope, which gave the English king the right to invade Ireland.

Der Flug des Phönix handelt von den Irrungen und Wirrungen einer handvoll junger Magi im Frühlingsbund Schattenquell - Fons Umbra gelegen im Hibernia-Tribunal. Gespielt wurde von 1203 AD bis 1208 AD von 2002 bis 2004. Es sind 55 Spielabende gespielt worden und die Chronik bietet fast alle als ausformulierte Geschichte. Es ist eine sehr politische Saga. Sowohl die hermetische Politik, als auch die mundane spielen eine Rolle. Und sollen die Feen nicht auch vorgekommen sein?

This Saga began with apprentices in the Greater Alps and, in "Season 2," the newly-Gauntleted magi founded a covenant at the Hill of Uisneach, now known as Cor Draconis.
