| The covenant is the single most important character in most Ars Magica sagas, because it is the character that all players contribute to. It is their home, a secure base, and the place where they study, improve, and create magical wonders. Thus, coming up with the concept for the covenant is very important, as it will have a strong influence on the feel of the saga.

"There is about one grog (fighter) per magus, and there are about two other covenfolk, such as servants or craftsmen, per magus. The available craftsmen include a blacksmith, carpenter, and maybe a bookbinder, but more exotic specialists are not present. While the covenant is hard to get into, it could not withstand a serious military assault without magic."
