 One season would be about equivilent to the **Educated** Virtue, the 
 second would add **Privileged Upbringing**.  Alternatively we might want 
 to give appropriate children the **Warrior** virtue.  (In practice for

+Income
+------

+If we're going to count teaching as a lesser income source, and allowing 
+that our lesser income sources are likely to be about £60-80 then looking
+at [[this site|http://medieval.ucdavis.edu/120D/Money.html]] and hand 
+waving a bit we want to be teaching about 50 student-seasons a year.
+
+Since initially both Jerbitons are going to be teaching a class of about 
+25 one season a year that works out OK; and any teaching the PCs do will 
+increase the value of that income source respectively.

+Senior Magi's house
+-------------------
+
+The Senior Magi live in a two range house (think like the ones with the 
+shops in on Bridge Street north of the river) between St Clement's and 
+the King's Ditch (a little north of where the Maypole is now).  The 
+ground floor of the front range has shops -- a large bakery that shares
+the house's kitchens, a shop of scribing supplies, and an importer (a
+front for House Mercere).  The "ground" floor is actually slightly raised
+to keep it from flooding and there is a vaulted storage area underneath,
+about half underground, which floods during the winter.
+
+The rear range has the kitchens, sculleries, and so on on the ground floor.
+The town end of the first floor has a two-storey hall barely large enough to
+be a hermetic labratory lit by south facing windows over the courtyard and
+skylights in the roof.  The rest of the volume in both ranges is used for
+sleeping rooms, and the three senior magi each have rooms on the south side
+for the best lighting when reading.
+
+The courtyard is about as deep again as the building, and has street access
+via an alleyway that is barely wide enough to drive a wagon down.
+
+About two dozen of the covenfolk live here as well as the magi.
