The covenant is the home of magi and the heart of an Ars Magica saga. Much more than just a base camp, its prosperity determines the power and safety of the characters who live there, and the challenges faced by a covenant shape the whole saga. The Covenants sourcebook includes:
New Boons and Hooks, for a wide range of saga styles Guidance on governance and covenfolk Story-based rules for determining the covenant's wealth Rules for developing libraries and enchanting books Rules for personalizing and improving a magus's laboratory.
Everything you need to bring your covenant to life is here!
The 5th edition Covenants book is well worth the time, great ideas, examples, and really gets into lab set up, libraries, and your folk. My group had a good time working on the setting, this should be fun. Check it out.
