+It is just before winter [[1216|Date/1216]].  Seven years ago the covenant invited
+a bunch of scholars who were fleeing riots in Oxford to come and set
+up a University; which has been bimbling along apace.  The Schola sits <del>near</del> on the outside of the University-in-formation but is friendly and
+cooperative with it.
+
+Canonically the Schola only accepts magi with the Gentle Gift, but I'm
+going to weaken that and say just not the Blatent Gift.
+
+Time will run fast, I'm thinking at least a year or two per story, and
+GMing will hopefully be fairly troupe-based.  I'm going to try and
+streamline bookkeeping as much as possible without breaking the more
+flavourful stuff.  Players should expect to play all of Companion,
+Mage, and Grog(s) at different times.  I don't see any reason why
+players couldn't have sociable mages (indeed Jerbitons fit!) and less
+sociable companions; but characters who don't get playtime will get
+targetted by story…
+
+This will be a troupe-style game; please bring your own creativity,
+and don't worry about breaking the "main plot"…
+
+I'm also happy running anciliary/sideline one-on-one or one-on-few
+stuff in downtime potentially with [[Meta/FuzzyTime]], either by email
+or on the wiki depending how private you want to be.  (If anyone else
+has spare time for running such stuff that'd be great too, but no
+commitment!)
