The Lion and the Lily (5e)
 |
In much of Mythic Europe¸ magi build covenants in remote wildernesses to avoid contact with mundanes. In northern France - the Normandy Tribunal - this is all but impossible. The wildernesses have been tamed and plowed under¸ the Church plants monasteries in the wastes¸ noble lords build castles to enforce their rule¸ and great cities grow up where once was nothing but fen. The magi of the Order of Hermes have adapted to living closely with mundane society in Normandy¸ even distributing their limited magical resources by way of contests modeled on the chivalric tournaments of the nobility.
"But while magic is under pressure in Normandy¸ it is far from dead. Ancient megaliths stud the landscape¸ faeries control many forests¸ and caves and burial mounds hide relics of the past. Demons and monsters imprisoned in ages past by saints and sorcerers stir uneasily in their confinement¸ and magi wield potent and spectacular magic throughout the land.
"The Lion and the Lily provides full details for the Normandy Tribunal¸ where magi must balance the demands of the nobility¸ cities¸ Church¸ and Tribunal.
