The covenant is located in the French Pyrenees, atop a difficult to reach plateau in the shadow of a mist-shrouded peak. A robust, ice cold stream, fed by a magical spring, passes down through the covenant. The stream spills into a ravine, pluming as a beautifully majestic waterfall. The only way across the chasm and into the covenant is across an ancient rough-hewn stone bridge.

Tribunal
Information on the Hermetic Tribunal is listed here.
The Provencal Tribunal is that division of the Order of Hermes which covers Provence, Languedoc, Gascogne, Savoy and the Pyrenees.
It contains a strong Flambeau presence, being that the Domus Magna of the house, Castra Solis, is located here.
Commonfolk
Information on the local commonfolk is listed here.
The covenant is remote, and there are not many commonfolk to be found in the area.
The "Mountain Trolls", a gang of mountain bandits, has traditionally used the covenant grounds as a base of operations, thanks to its defensible geography. They have preyed upon several of the local goat herders, who have always been more wealthy than they could have been expected.
With the arrival of the wizards, the Mountain Trolls have accepted their claim over the territory in exchange for protection from the strange creatures that make the mountainside their home.
The local goat herders have also, grudgingly, accepted the wizard's dominion over their territory, seeing as how the wizards have brought many head of goat from the lowlands, and provide protection not only from the monsters, but also the Mountain Trolls.
Still, the traditional unease between the Mountain Trolls and the goat herders may cause some unrest in the covenant in the future.
