Tribunal Bavariae

Foedera Tribunali Bavariae

Tribunal Bavariae consists of the following 16 covenants (still counting three covenants in eternal winter sleep):

Archimagi Tribunali Bavariae


Quaesitores Tribunali Bavariae


Ad Astra

Ad Astra is a young spring covenant, founded in 1190 A.D. on the ruins of an older covenant, which also was known as Ad Astra. The covenant has not yet reached official status in the tribunal. The constituting meeting is scheduled for the autumn equinox in 1190.

Aesculus

Aesculus is an autumn covenant of low status, since the members belong either to the House of Bjornaer or the House of Myanar. The covenant is located in a forest in the duchy of Austria. Aesculus currently has 7 members.

Apex Ruber

Apex Ruber is an autumn covenant located on the slopes of the Magdalensberg mountain in the duchy of Carinthia. The covenant currently has 9 members.

Caverna Umbra Torquentes

Caverna Umbra Torquentes is a winter covenant, and because it's Domus Magnus Criamonis, it's also one of the most famous covenants in the entire Order. The covenant formally has only 8 members, but the number of magi actually living there is almost always greater than twice this sum, since many Criamons travel far to seek the wisdom that can be found in this strange cave. Only Criamon magi are allowed to enter the deeper caves. The caves can be found in the duchy of Trentino, not far away from Tarvisio.

Corona

Corona is an autumn Merinita covenant, situated in a former faerie forest in the duchy of Bavaria. The covenant is at odds with the rivaling Silva Aeterna covenant. Corona currently has 11 members, of which the majority belongs to the affiliated house.

Donarium Nimbi

Donarium Nimbi is a winter Bonisagus covenant and home to some of the most skilled Auram magi in the entire Order. The covenant is a mighty stone castle, located on a mountain peak in the Pustertal county, not far away from the town Matrei. Donarium Nimbi currently has 7 members, where all but two belong to the House of Bonisagus.

Dormitator

Dormitator is an autumn covenant situated deep in a forest in the duchy of Bavaria. The covenant is home to strange mystics, of which most are Ex Miscellanea. Dormitator currently has 9 members.

Exedra Caeli

Exedra Caeli is an old winter covenant, located on the foot of a mountain at the Caldonazzo sea in the duchy of Trentino in the southern Alps. The covenant currently has 8 members. Since their Primus, Archimagus Cincinnatus, is the oldest magi in the tribunal, it is home to all the tribunal meetings in Tribunali Bavaria.

Lucus

Lucus is yet another covenant in eternal winter sleep. For some reason, the name Lucus is taboo, and most junior magi in the tribunal has never heard of the covenant.

Mandatum

Mandatum is an old covenant that has passed into its eternal winter sleep. The last member entered her final twilight in 1183 A.D. The covenant was located in the duchy of Carinthia.

Mons Tutori

Mons Tutori is an autumn covenant, affiliated with the House of Guernicus. Their princeps, Eximus, is the tribunal's ruling quaesitor. All 5 members belong to the House of Guernicus, but only 3 of them are actually Quaesitores. The covenant can be found at the foot of the Wilder Kaiser mountains in the duchy of Bavaria.

Nidus Aquilae

This winter Bjornaer covenant is home to 4 very reclusive and aged eagle Bjornaer magi. Nidus Aquilae is the first candidate amongst the tribunal's still living covenants to slip into eternal winter sleep. The covenant is located on a mountain top in Ötztal in the Oberinntal county.

Silva Aeterna

Silva Aeterna is an autumn covenant, located deep in a forest in the duchy of Bavaria. The covenant is engaged in a very old feud with the Corona covenant. Silva Aeterna currently has 11 members, of which most belong to the House of Merinita.

Ursa

Ursa used to be one of the greatest Bjornaer covenants, but some generations ago the covenant entered its final winter sleep. Bjornaer magi in the tribunal still hold the memory of Ursa high. The covenant was situated in a forest in the duchy of Carinthia.

Valles Nebulae

This autumn covenant is the tribunal's black sheep and is very unpopular in many of the tribunal's covenants. Valles Nebulae used to be affiliated with the House of Tytalus, but since it first opened up to magi of the House of Peritus, it has even accepted magi Ex Miscellanea as members. The covenant currently has 14 members. Valles Nebulae is located in the Höllental valley in the duchy of Styria.

Valnastium

This winter covenant is Domus Magnus Jerbitoni and the strongest (as well as the most conservative) political unit in the tribunal. The covenant has 16 members, of which all but the two local Verditii magi belong to the House of Jerbiton. Valnastium can be found at Lago di Pievi di Cadore in the duchy of Trentino in the southern Alps.
