« Tribunal of 1222 | Stonehenge Tribunal | Extraordinary Tribunal of 1227 »

In the moon between the declaration of the Wizard’s War, a delegation from Magvillus comes and sets up a camp at Habitancum, located just a few miles north of Hadrian’s Wall (northeast of Conventus Muri)

The delegation consists of Prima (Archmaga) Murion of House Bonisagus and Prima (Archmaga) Bilera of House Guernicus, along with at least one Quaesitor of each House from various Tribunals. Accompanying them are eight Archmagi (3 Tremere, 3 Flambeau, 2 Tytalus, 1 Bjornaer) with a grog detachment each.

Summoned to Grand Tribunal are combatants from both sides (lists provided by the Redcaps), both Tribunal Praecones, Immanola as a local Prima of House Ex Miscellanea, and all local Quaesitores.

All Wizards War combatants have been charged with a High Crime of Endangering the Order and are commanded to appear at the Extraordinary Grand Tribunal. House Mercere provides a charged device which bring the magus plus up to ten attendants, guards, or followers to a specific location.

There are carefully delineated spots for each of the parties to remain in until Grand Tribunal in order to keep conflicts down.

Agenda

All 40 Wizards War participants are charged with Endangering the Order. Their charges will be dismissed on the acceptance of a suitable plan to ameliorate the situation and prevent a general outbreak of hostilities

Quaesitorial Staffing Proposal

Two covenants, staffed with Quaesitores at Habitancum (Loch Leglean) and Whitley Castle/Epiacum (Stonehenge) to be created

The covenants will be staffed by a rotating group of Quaesitores who serve for one Tribunal period and are paid by the Tribunal for their services. If they are not, the covenant will begin claiming vis sources to fund itself. The Primus of House Guernicus shall be responsible for providing the necessary Quaesitores to bring each Tribunal's count to eight. They shall serve one Tribunal period before being rotated out.

Each Tribunal must begin a training regimen to train enough Quaesitores to field 8 per Tribunal by Grand Tribunal 1261. The details of this training is left for the Tribunal to implement.

Stonehenge magi supported this 9:1. Loch Leglean magi supported this 5:4. Remaining magi overwhelmingly supported this.

Compensation / Wizard's War De-escalation

Obscurus Ignis proposed that compensation for raids be considered. Compensation would be considered by covenant or, if an eremite magus, individuals to compensate the other Tribunal for their crimes. As an alternative, all combatants could waive all compensation claims in exchange for a vote to not prosecute their Wizard's War despite it being validly declared.

Stonehenge magi supported this 9:1. Loch Leglean magi supported this 5:4. Remaining magi overwhelmingly supported this.

Voting Pattern Deviations

Unusually, the visiting Quaesitores and all Redcaps are voting in this Extraordinary Grand Tribunal. This has not happened since the Schism War, which underscores the seriousness of the situation.

  • Visiting Quaesitores (11) and Hoplites (8) all carry 4 proxied votes each (95 votes)
  • Stonehenge Redcaps (10) carry 20 proxied votes from magi who voted against this raid (30 votes)
  • Loch Leglean Redcaps (9) carry 25 proxied votes from magi who want lowland covenants to cease raids (34 votes)
  • Maria of Mercere carries 30 House Mercere votes (31 votes)
