[QUOTE="Cerebral Paladin, post: 1213938, member: 3448"] [b]Book 1: The Spring of Lumen Montis[/b] We have now chosen Marcus by lot to be our first Primus. I'm sure that all of my socii have as much faith in him as I do. [For the record, I included the magi who hadn't responded in the lottery, figuring that if one of them won I would wait until they posted whether they were interested. Since Marcus won, it doesn't matter whether the others were in or out. Of course, if you want to post whether you were interested, it would still be interesting to see which magi participated in the lottery and whether Marcus won by acclamation.] We face many tasks that must be accomplished quickly. Our Primus, or perhaps his designee, must negotiate the final terms of our relationship with Lemannus. Similarly, we will need to negotiate which books we are going to be permitted to copy from the Lemannus Library to form the initial core of our library and choose the types of vis we will receive as our starting supply. Presumably, our Primus will delegate those tasks to the magi he chooses to serve as our Librarian and Viskeeper, although he could carry out those tasks on his own or delegate them to another magus if he prefers. While we fill our offices, we will also have a brief certamen tournament among any of our socii who would be our first Certamen Champion. [Everyone who wants to participate in this tournament should post so in the out of character thread. They should also specify what their preferred Techniques and Forms are for certamen and a little bit about tactics (whether they plan to build up to big attacks or attack when ever they have the advantage). Normally, they would also need to specify whether they planned to use raw vis, but I don't think that anyone has any raw vis yet.] Once we have permission to copy some books, some of us will need to actually copy the texts. We should be able to get multiple copies of some of the works, although we may need to give some of those to Lemannus, depending on the terms of our deal. Another group of magi will need to travel to the location which Lemannus has granted us for Lumen Montis. They will need to scout out the area, decide on a good location for the covenant proper, and secure the area from any threats that might challenge our control of the area. This should probably be a substantial group, in case brigands or worse are hiding in the valley that will be ours. Some of our consortes are also likely to accompany us on this journey. [Appropriate Companion characters will be introduced as they accompany this group.] We also need to arrange for the vulgar needs of the covenant. We should begin recruiting grogs and purchasing the glassware, measures, braziers, and similar needs of our starting laboratories. Some of my socii may also choose other tasks to work on for our first season as a covenant. Some may seek to write books of their own. Others may request the use of one of Lemannus's spare laboratories to pursue research projects quickly. And others may seek to make contact with some of the other powers near our new covenant, such as the lords and powerful clergy, to lay the groundwork for good relations. [/QUOTE]
