| 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.

Ars Magica 5th Edition, Page 71, under heading "Baseline":
"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."
