-Libellus is a Spring Covenant.
+Libellus is a Spring Covenant south of Bury St Edmunds. It is part of
+Voluntas' anti-Blackthorn alliance; but has done nothing else of note
+yet.
+
+* Stephen Eruditus of Jerbiton (leader)
+* Meles of Bjornaer
+* Gregorius of Bonisagus
+* Lucidia of Flambeau
+* Jonaquil of Merinita
+* Justin of Tremere

+* Ariel of Flambeau
+* Morlen of Merinita
+* Caltis of Tremere
+* Herrit of Tytalus

+Maximianus is ancient; it seems likely that he will become Praeco if
+Talion pre-deceases him. In 1215 he voted the sigils of all the other
+magi of Nigrasaxa except Caltis.
Semitae is a wandering covenant. They haven't been seen for years

+
+Visiters to Ungulus should be aware that Espera will wish to deny them

+dragon before they consider any requests.
Voluntas is an energetic covenant in Yotkshire and at the forefront of
-political activity against Blackthorn.
+political activity against Blackthorn. Well, it might be safer to say
+that Julia is at the forefront; but she has the, sometimes limited,
+support of the others.
+
+Voluntas has a very good magical library that they are quite generous
+about allowing access to. Copying texts out of it is more expensive
+though!
+
+Voluntas owns a parcel of land between Gislandune (Islington) and
+London[^1] that Julia intends to build a meeting place for the
+tribunal upon. Her original plan was to house a religious order there
+to keep it; but this foundered at the 1215 tribunal against the
+argument that creating new religious orders was prohibited. It seems
+likely that this plan will resurface in another form later.
+
+* Corvus of Bjornaer
+* Kirist of Flambeau
+* Julia of Jerbiton
+* Phessallia of Merinita
+* Desiderius of Verditius
