+The time is [[1219|Date/1219]]ish.  Ten 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 Jerbetons fit!) and less
+sociable companions; but characters who don't get playtime will get
+targetted by story…
