The Tribunal of 1221

In accordance with Hermetic Law, a Tribunal was held this summer. According to custom, it was held at the Covenant of Bremerren, home of Ramnor the eldest Magus in the Tribunal who had seen 86 winters.

Of the Rochehaut Magi, all attended save Hermano who gave his sigil to Julius. It was noted at the time the the Magus Rillion, who dwelt in no covenant was absent from the Tribunal, a fact which worried Julius somewhat since they were auld acquaintances.

The highlights of the Tribunal were many. Wulfgar filius Cesare of Pandrin Covenant challenged for his sigil and was defeated.

Bremmeren Covenant accused Stonehollow Covenant of Diabolitry, a repeat of accusations leveled at the last Tribunal and dismissed. The representatives of Stonehollow denied the charges and each submitted to the Frosty Breath of the Spoken Lie to attest to the truthfulness. It was mentioned that such spells would be of no use if the member in question were in fact a demon in disguise. Still the vote of censure was defeated with the vote mostly along Covenant lines with Bremerren and Pandrin voting for the censure. With the loss of the vote, Bremerren slips one step further towards Winter. Quaesitor Jeremiah stated that further accusations should be accompanied by some proof.

A vis source located between Pandrin and Lakehome was contested. The source was closer to Pandrin, but had been discovered by Lakehome - thus the issue was Proximity against Seniority. Pandrin, a Tremere Covenant, wished to settle the issue by Certamen. That motion was defeated, and the ensuing vote was in favor of Seniority. The magi of Rochehaut voted against Certamen and for Seniority with the exception of Octavian who favored Certamen. The issue of Seniority is important to Rochehaut since they have a Vis source which is nearer to Stonehollow than to themselves, but Rochehaut has the senior claim.
