Obviously this needs to be kept hidden from the Church, the Order and the general populace.  In this case the Covenant should probably be a summer covenant- at its full power and helping the Priory in its role of protecting and hiding.  I would still keep it in the South of France- the closesness of the Cathars would be a major problem, bringing ecclesiastical focus where no one wants it!(A google search using "Priory of Sion" returns 15600 results.  So enough out there to flesh this out and provide extra info for those interested.)</blockquote>
