Tribunals of the Order


Revised Tribunals

This Saga uses a revised set of tribunals. We have removed the Tribunals of the Greater Alps, Normandy and Rhine and introduced a couple of new tribunals. The Tribunal of Bavaria approximately corresponds to the eastern part of the former Greater Alps Tribunal. The Tribunal of Rhine is split into the Tribunal of Germania in the west and the Tribunal of Transgermania in the east. The Tribunal of Normandy is split into the tribunals Gallia Transalpina and Gallia Lugdunensis, where the latter one is joined with the eastern part of the former Greater Alps tribunal.

The following table lists the latin names of the tribunals and the english name of the corresponding canon tribunal(s).
