Doubtlessly some locals are offended by the local magi occupying the land, and worse, taking their vis. They focus on Macrinus, because they actually observed him harvesting their resources.

Guenter's Dark Secret is being leveraged by Macrinus, which is why he's in Africa.

What animal is Leander's Magical Animal?

Battal is a large wolf. I will get his description up today.

Slight update, mostly just to make it easier to read and more uniform. Its probably harder to edit like this though.

Added in my characters Story Hooks. Have any of the Beta or Gamma Story Guides made a selection of which Covenant they want to concentrate on?

I'm interested in the Library covenant.

And in the mundane (and magical?) animal landscape.

I replicated the list with my additions.  I think it makes sense to have this stuff on the covenant pages, this thread is kind of hard to read.

In terms of volunteering for stuff; I have a couple of story hooks I put out there already I have ideas for (Fertility caves in the mountains, tomb-delving in the pyramids) but no particular urgency about; I'm fine with focusing on any covenant I'm not "in".

Getting right to the point: Who wants to be Beta SG for each Covenant, out of those who said they would Beta SG? The only one we have heard from is Player 6.

Border
Hooks:

• Road - The region is the only land route from Africa to the Middle east.
• Roman Ruins - Who knows what the roman ruins nearby hold?
• Haunted - Ghosts, the roman ruins hold ghosts...
• Tribunal Border - The Levant Tribunal is only a few days ride on a magic carpet. They have plenty of reasons to edge into our business.
• Urban - We have built our covenant near enough the town to take advantage of the trade and ports there. But that causes it's own issues. The town will surely only grow with time.

Story Flaws:

• Brontion ex Guernicus - Magical Thing Companion - He is in possession of the Bronze Hand of Midas
• Bronze Hand of Midas - Enemies - The Hand was a result of Hermetic experimentation and can potentially give magi insight into unlocking the power of permanent Muto Rituals.
• Zahir the Smith - Plagued By Supernatural Entity - Zahir has a bit of Ifrit blood and members of his 'extended family' would be more than happy to drag him back to their realm and force him to work for them.
• Baqir Al-Andalus - Plagued by Supernatural Entity - Baqir summoned a jinni that he couldn't control and since then he need to bring it wherever he goes. The jinni enjoys to disturb Baqir in any activity he does.
• Kahina of the Tuareg - Magical Animal Companion - Kahina has a camel of virtue that she stole from her clan.

Beta/Gamma SG desires:


Hedge Relations
Hooks:

• Hedge Tradition - Gifted Berber Settuten live close by and views hermetic magi as evil sun magicians. Other minor traditions.
• Roman Ruin - The covenant is located in Tiddis a roman ruin ontop of a hill.
• Fallen Temple - Various temples most notably Saturn (Baal) and Mithra.
• Regio - Unexplored. Entrery impossible until arch is repaired. Our idea was Monkey's paw deal with Saturn to keep the city forever prosperous. But not set in stone.
• Haunted - Ghost Romans, perhaps myster cultists. Perhaps the Ghost might start weakening when the regio is opened?

Story Flaws:

• Appolonius (P12): Driven: Prove Hermetic Magic Superior to any and all Hedge Wizards
• Corvus (P3): Patron: Magical spirit
• Corvus (P3): Driven: Unearth new (that is to say, old) brands of magic not known to the Order and see if any of it can be integrated into the Bjornaer ways; starting with the shapeshifting magics of Africa.
• Longinus (P10): Mentor - Paren and member of the Keeper of the Thousand Tales Merinita society
• Longinus (P10): Driven: Share and study the stories, legends and myths of Africa
• Salma (P13): Visions
• Salma (P13): Driven: To catalog, induct, and integrate all the magical traditions in the Tribunal, past and present

I would probably make the game un-fun for the hedge relations covenant.

I could do the redcap house but Giovanni having Legacy throws a wrench in the works because I don't see a fair way of running that flaw other than him getting his dick pushed in all the time. So I should probably just leave that to someone who has an idea how to run "You are a Companion but you are expected to perform like a Mythic Companion". In a game where you pretty much just scale encounters directly with your player's capabilities to begin with.

In reply to Player 4 (msg # 22):

Scaling Giovanni shouldn't be a problem. They aren't going to get real demanding until he gets settled. Harco wants him to explore, and report to them. Can they be demanding, sure. But they also have to give him some rope to explore. If he sits on his butt at the Covenant, he would probably be recalled. But letters back and forth asking about progress? Telling him to go here, talk to this person there? Those are all fine.

But that's the point they don't ask you to go to talk to someone they tell you to go fight a dragon. The  flaw doesn't say what you do, just that it's hard. Since the game's only balance is that SG's throw sufficiently challenging stuff at you then the flaw is saying throw even harder stuff at you. I realize you only took the Flaw to be able to speak every language and not to actually make it so you can handle harder tasks. But that's the way I see it.

But you don't have to convince me. There are 3 other perfectly fine covenants I can cover. People had to start declaring preferences if we were going to sort out who runs what.

In reply to Player 4 (msg # 24):

I would think that any rule interpretation that translates as "make the game unfun" for a group of players is probably flawed out of the gate, and liable to provoke resistance.

Having offered to be a gamma SG I think I'd be able to run stories around a particular mystery cult. I don't know if any characters are currently still interested in any outside of Mystery Cult Houses, of course.
