1 From Johannes, Summer 1224
3 > To Iudecum ex Guernicus, Senior Quaesitor of the Stonehenge Tribunal, Johannes sends respectful greetings:
5 > My sodales and I recently chanced to discover in the pursuit of other goals
6 > that a Gifted individual had been living in secret some few miles downriver from
9 > The shocking aspect of this encounter was that the individual in question was
10 > protected by something that seemed like, and turned out to be, the Parma Magica.
12 > It transpired that they had once been an Hermetic apprentice, but that their
13 > parens had cast them forth with their training incomplete - and had most foolishly
14 > allowed them to learn the Parma before they did this!
16 > The apprentice in question is not of sweet disposition, but did most willingly
17 > swear the Oath in my presence and that of my sodales, and has pledged himself
18 > to abide by its tenets; it is clear that he needs to be admitted into one of
19 > the Houses, but now past the crisis, I must confess that I do not know the
20 > correct protocol and procedures to follow.
22 > I enclose a full report on the matter, which I hope you will be able to
23 > appropriately pursue.
27 > Johannes ex Guernicus
