	''Nova Semitae'' is Latin for 'New paths'. It was founded as a refuge for magi who wanted a new life away from the stultifying political situation in 1170. Some 50 years later, it is once again looking for new blood to give it life, but the situation is much different. A vibrant, sometimes anarchic, political situation in both mundane and Hermetic realms makes for exciting times to live in.		''Nova Semitae'' is Latin for 'New paths'.

The sheaf of wheat and the bee represent the agricultural heart of the covenant's wealth. The book with the hebrew writing (borrowed from Yale University's crest) represents both the scholarly nature of the covenant and the covenant's Jewish community roots. The writing (depending on your translation) is 'Urim and Thummim', or 'Light and Perfection', which forms the covenant's motto in latin. The original hebrew phrase also has connotations of divination.

			''Main Article: [[Varana's Tomb]]''

			In 1223, the covenant followed up on stories of a tower on an icy peak. In doing so they discovered the tomb of a maga named Varana in the form of a tower with layered regiones. It is possible, with the right steps, to make one's way deep into the regiones and find an astonishingly well-stocked library of both Arts and lores buried with the erstwhile maga.
