« Extraordinary Grand Tribunal of 1226 | Stonehenge Tribunal | Grand Tribunal of 1228 »
Late in 1226, Praeco Talion will send out invitations to an Extraordinary Tribunal for the Summer Solstice of 1227. This will take place of the 1229 Tribunal, as well as deciding which three issues the Tribunal will send to Grand Tribunal. This will be the first Grand Tribunal that Stonehenge will be represented in nearly a century, the last time being 1129.
In case you feel like reading about a standard Tribunal before the next game, there's an article on Tribunal Procedures.
Logistics
- Since the entire covenant will be traveling to the Tribunal, Neanne has introduced a motion to have the mandatory Summer covenant meeting ahead of time (June 15 instead of June 20) and to let the covenfolk have their customary feast on the normal solstice day (June 21)
- The distance from Nova Semitae to Blackthorn in the south of Wales is roughly 100 miles, according to the Redcaps
- Travel is expected to take up to 5 days (20 miles/day) to travel to Blackthorn (June 16-20)
- Pre-Tribunal Activities start whenever enough people show up and run until the evening of June 22nd
- Tribunal begins at sunset on June 22nd and is expected to last for 2 nights
- Post Tribunal Days and travel back home is June 24-29
- For Obscurus Ignis: This period will run through these signs: Gemini (Air, June 16-20) and Cancer (Water, June 21-29).
Other Activities at Tribunal
- Draag of Blackthorn organises the Bjornaer gathering which resembles a pagan midsummer festival. Very secretive.
- Edward of Milton, of Schola Pythagoranis, organises a Jerbiton gathering, which is a large formal dinner party, followed by a masquerade ball. Largely attended by Jerbiton, with the occasional 'civilized' guest invited to attend. Nearly every attendee has the Gentle Gift and impeccable manners.
- Scintilla of Burnham formerly organised the Flambeau Melee, however, since disaster struck the Flambeaux of Stonehenge, the Melee had been cancelled indefinitely. Rumours abound that she is looking to re-establish the custom at the Tribunal of 1222.
- Aurelia of Nigrasaxa organises the Verditius Regional Contest, a smaller version of The Contest which takes place at Verdi every twenty-two years. She will be polling magi, primarily Verditius, on their level of interest in holding a regional content.
- Aulus of Bonisagus and Neanne of Verditius, both from Nova Semitae, organize a small colloquium for the scholastically-minded members to give lectures, share knowledge, and otherwise discuss magical theory and methods with other members. Due to a historical debacle in the Tribunal, the number of Bonisagus magi in the Tribunal is very low, so this event is not very well attended.
- A general seller's market for enchantments, potions, books, longevity rituals, vis, and anything else magi will trade pops up. Very informal.

Grand Tribunal Issues
The following proposals are suggestions for the three issues to send from Stonehenge to the Grand Tribunal.

- Magi who are bidding to represent the Tribunal and present at Grand Tribunal will announce themselves and how many pledged ballots they have. The magi with the three highest counts shall be nominated to the representatives. (Candidate profiles)
Stonehenge Tribunal v. Loch Leglean Tribunal
- Given the actions of certain lowland covenants in Loch Leglean Tribunal and the inexcusable inability or desire of the other covenants to hold them their Oath, Stonehenge Tribunal requests formal censure of all Loch Leglean magi and covenants. Stonehenge requests reparations for 162 years of Oath-breaking in the form of a fine of 150 pawns per covenant to be paid to the Stonehenge Tribunal and distributed to Stonehenge covenants.
Stonehenge Tribunal v. Loch Leglean Tribunal
- Given the actions of certain lowland covenants in Loch Leglean Tribunal and the inexcusable inability or desire of the other covenants to hold them their Oath, Stonehenge Tribunal requests enhanced Quaesitorial investigations and prosecutions of lawless magi. Request that no fewer than five Quaesitores - with no fewer than three from Stonehenge Tribunal - be stationed in Loch Leglean and rotated on a regular basis after every Tribunal. Loch Leglean as a whole will levy vis resources on themselves in order to support these additional Quaesitores until the Quaesitores or Stonehenge Tribunal believe they are satisfied the raids will cease.
Inter-Tribunal compact
- The 1208 Tribunal holding of Stonehenge regarding magical silver be adopted at an Order-wide level to level playing field for all magi.
- "No covenant may put more than a reasonable amount of magically created silver into circulation in a year. A reasonable amount is two (Mythic) pounds of silver per magus."
