Trials of Novgorod
On the banks of the river Kapsa, in the marshes to the north of the city of Novgorod, lurks a Covenant of young scholars and magicians.

Around them the Novgorod Tribunal decays into chaos, with a wizards march against the rogue covenant Priper Maior now looming. The conflict threatens the interests of Crintera, House Bjornaer and offers Lebensraum to the Rhine Tribunal. As the time of reckonings approaches, the hidden hand of the infernal grows ever stronger....
