Amici Britanniae ("Friends of Britain") is a large Tremere covenant in Bedfordshire.
Members
There are seven 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.
