Transylvanian Tribunal

2024-07-28T17:41:02Z

Madirishman: Updated Vigil Cavernae description

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 Tribunal|Rhine]] and [[Novgorod Tribunal|Novgorod]] Tribunals, and on the south by the [[Theban Tribunal]]. See the [http://www.atlas-games.com/pdf_storage/europemap.pdf 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: [http://timothyferguson.wordpress.com/2013/03/09/transylvanian-tribunal-timeline/Transylvania Timeline]. The book describes the [[Transylvanian Tribunal]] dominated by [[House Tremere]], but in which other magi may flourish (and are playable). There are only five covenants in the Tribunal, these being more akin to classes of citizenship among the magi there. These are ''[[cives]], [[socii]], [[hospites]], [[foederati]]'' and ''[[coloniae]]''. What are elsewhere called covenants are called ''[[oppida]]'' in this tribunal. (As such it is perfectly possible for the players to create their own ''oppidum''/covenant in the Tribunal.) The [[oppida]] described in [[Against the Dark]] are

*The Oppidum of [[Coeris]]
*The Oppidum of [[Laniena]]
*The Oppidum of [[Evredika]]
*The Oppidum of [[Seuthopolis]]
*The Oppidum of [[Tablinum]]
*The Oppidum of [[Old Histria]]
*The Oppidum of [[Shrouded Bay]]
*The Oppidum of [[Lycaneon]]
*The Oppidum of [[The Scholomance]]
*The Oppidum of [[Kezdo Valasz]]

The tribunal was previously noted in ''[[Houses of Hermes: True Lineages]]'' 116, 114 as having a small Hermetic presence, dominated by [[House Tremere]] but also including nearly half as many non-House magi as guests of the House<ref>"Extent", ''[[Houses of Hermes: True Lineages]]'' page 116</ref>. See [[HoHTL]]. Only one covenant, [[Coeris]], is described - but other large and small Tremere covenants (now ''[[oppida]]'') are alluded to. These include [[Lycaneon]], the House's source of amber<ref>"Materials," ''[[Houses of Hermes: True Lineages]]'' page 132</ref>. [[The Sundered Eagle]] reveals the area now the Transylvania Tribunal was until 864 the northern part of the [[Theban Tribunal]], and that book discusses the troubled history between the two tribunals in detail.

== Past Edition Resources ==
In earlier editions, the Transylvanian Tribunal was described only with a half-page of text in ''[[Order of Hermes Book|Order of Hermes]]''<ref>"Transylvanian Tribunal", ''[[Order of Hermes (book)|Order of Hermes]]'' pages 51 and 55</ref>. 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 [[Magic Realm|Magical]] and [[Faerie Realm]]s 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.)

Normandy Tribunal

2024-07-28T17:30:52Z

Madirishman: /* Saga Links */

The Normandy Tribunal is the [[Regional Tribunal]] whose territory includes most of modern-day France, plus the Low Countries. In the 13th century, the Normandy Tribunal encompasses the duchies of Normandy, Brittany, and Burgundy, most of the Duchy of Aquitaine, the counties of Flanders, Anjou, and Champagne, the regions of Picardy and Île de France, and portions of the Lorraine. The Normandy Tribunal is bordered by the [[Provençal Tribunal]] to the south, the [[Greater Alps Tribunal]] to the southeast, and the [[Rhine Tribunal]] to the east. See the [http://www.atlas-games.com/pdf_storage/europemap.pdf Map of Mythic Europe].

==Tribunal style==
As presented in the [[Fifth Edition]] supplement dedicated to the tribunal, [[Lion and the Lily | The Lion and the Lily]], the tribunal's environment incorporates feudalism and romanticism in it's political and social structure, the feudal relationship that characterizes the tribunal is between covenants, not magi. It is presented as having very liberal rulings regarding mundane interference, and its [[Peripheral Code]] does not prevent raiding of mundane resources between covenants. One distinguishing characteristic is the tribunals' [[Hermetic Tourney]], which takes place immediately following the official tribunal meetings.

The present day tribunal's nature is a product of mundane historical, cultural, and literary developments, such as the romances, as well as the effects left over by the [[Schism War]].

== Current Edition Covenants ==
''[[The Lion and the Lily]]'' lists a number of covenants in the Normandy Tribunal, but explicitly states that the list is not meant to be exhaustive.<ref name="PastAndPresent">''[[Lion and the Lily|The Lion and the Lily]]'', page 28 (inset)</ref>

==Resources==

===Current Edition Resources===
Of course the main resource is [[Lion and the Lily|The Lion and the Lily]]. [[Houses of Hermes: Societates]] can be useful since it covers houses and traditions that have large followings or central enclaves- House Flambeau, House Tyalus, and the [[Donatores Requietis Aeternae]] tradition within [[House Ex Miscellanea]].

=== Past Edition Resources ===
The Normandy Tribunal section of the [[Second Edition]] source book [[Order of Hermes Book|Order of Hermes]] noted that the tribunal contained [[Fudarus]] plus eleven other covenants. In the [[House Tytalus]] section of the same work, it was noted that Fudarus had little influence, as in that edition, the house was significantly smaller.

Novgorod Tribunal

2024-07-28T17:25:49Z

Madirishman: Added link to Umbra Quercus saga (and reordered listed covenants alphabetically), noted Pripet Maior's appearance in HoH:MC

The Novgorod Tribunal is the [[Regional Tribunal]] covering Scandinavia, Poland, and Russia. It is by far the largest Tribunal geographically, but for the most part it is sparsely populated by both magi and mundanes. It borders on the [[Rhine Tribunal|Rhine]] and [[Transylvanian Tribunal]]s, as well as pagan lands to the east. See the [http://www.atlas-games.com/pdf_storage/europemap.pdf Map of Mythic Europe].

[[Mythic Iceland]] is also generally considered to be part of the Novgorod Tribunal.

Stonehenge Tribunal

2024-07-28T17:15:07Z

Madirishman: Added descriptive text for Corona Montis

The Stonehenge Tribunal is the [[regional Tribunal]] that includes England and Wales. It shares a land border with the [[Loch Leglean Tribunal]] and its nearest neighbors by sea are the [[Hibernia|Hibernian]] and [[Normandy Tribunal]]s. See the [http://www.atlas-games.com/pdf_storage/europemap.pdf Map of Mythic Europe].

== Current Edition Resources ==
There is no [[Fifth Edition]] supplement dedicated to the Stonehenge Tribunal. However, many of the locales in [[Mythic Locations]] are particularly adaptable to this Tribunal.

=== Current Edition Covenants ===
A large Tremere covenant is alluded to in [[Houses of Hermes: True Lineages]].<ref>''[[Houses of Hermes: True Lineages]]'', page 115, "Coeris" (inset)</ref> That covenant is not named but it could be referring to [[Blackthorn]].

= Past Edition Resources=
The Fourth Edition supplement, ''[[Heirs to Merlin]]'', describes the Stonehenge Tribunal in detail. Fourth Edition and earlier supplements are no longer considered [[canon | canonical]] in [[ArM5]], but ''[[Heirs to Merlin]]'' should be especially easy to adapt to Fifth Edition because it doesn't include any game statistics.

The Stonehenge Tribunal the setting for the introductory story of [[Antoninus of Jerbiton]], which appears at the beginning of the [[ArM4]] book.

=== Past Edition Covenants ===

The following are described in detail in ''[[Heirs to Merlin]]''.

* [[Blackthorn]]
* [[Burnham]]
* [[Cad Gadu]]
* [[Libellus]]
* [[Nigrasaxa]]
* [[Schola Pythagoranis]]
* [[Semitae]]

Thousand Caves

2024-07-13T20:19:53Z

Madirishman: Map seems to indicate Chusovaya River; the headwaters of the Kama lie in the opposite direction heading from Perm

{{ArM4 Canon}}
The covenant of Thousand Caves is mentioned in ''[[The Dragon and the Bear]]''<ref name="DatB107">''[[The Dragon and the Bear]]'', p. 107</ref>. It is a covenant in the Ural Mountains along the Chusovaya River. As the name suggests, it is built in a complex of caves.

The covenant has a "potent faerie aura"<ref name="DatB107" /> and good relations with the neighboring [[volkhvy]]. Politically, it represents the Harmonist side in the [[Harmonist]] / [[Wilderist]] controversy<ref>''[[The Dragon and the Bear]]'', p. 108</ref>; its opponent is [[Pripet Maior]].

A description of Thousand Caves is given in ''[[The Dragon and the Bear]]'', pages 120-130, including full statistics, maps, an illustration, and magi.
