'''Amici Britanniae''' ("Friends of Britain") is a large Tremere covenant in Bedfordshire.

= Members =

There are eight magi in Amici Britanniae, all of whom belong to House Tremere.

= Structure & Resources =

The covenant structure was built to impress: its central tower is a gleaming white spire created with the ritual, ''Conjuring the Mystic Tower.''' In later years the base of this tower was surrounded by a shell keep to house the grogs and mundane artisans.

= History =

Amici Britanniae is in the midst of a long Autumn season in its development. It is in fact no longer vital and growing, but it is at the height of its power and enjoys great influence and prestige.

It was founded c. 818, very shortly after the British Isles were accepted into the Order. Tremere was still living at the time and the covenant was founded at his personal command. His objective was to firmly establish his House, and Roman magical traditions, in Britain. The covenant's name was chosen to make it seem non-threatening and to invite indigenous British wizards to visit. In the early years the covenant was generous with books, with sharing lab texts, and helping other covenants get established. The goal was to convert wizards from their native British traditions of magic to Roman ones. It was, in essence, a Hermetic version of a Jesuit mission.

+== Relations ==
 Long ago, Amici Britanniae was a rival of [[Stranggore]] and [[Cad Gadu]]. Its purpose was to promote the Continental, Latin style of magic in Britain, in contrast to Cad Gadu's and Stranggore's agenda of preserving and developing indigenous British magi.  Since the Norman conquest sent Stranggore into decline, the sense of rivalry has eased considerably. Amici Britanniae hardly pays Stranggore any mind, and Stranggore needs to concentrate on internal matters.
 [[Cercle Cass&eacute;e]] was founded as a satellite of Amici Britanniae but the two covenants soon began to part ways. There is considerable tension between Cercle Cass&eacute;e and at least some members of Amici Brittaniae.
