Casa sus Baux is the covenant of the Magi.

“Baux” means cliffs and the name refers to the location of the manor house perched at the edge of a limestone cliff overlooking the hamlet of Cassis, which along with the village La Coita, supports the covenant. Despite its name the manor does not belong to the Baux Family of Marseille but to the Merlon Family and was inherited by Duran de Merlon on condition that he allow his Gifted kin to live with him. The covenant is onallodial land so it owes no allegiances to the surrounding nobles.

The manor's land extends three leagues in all directions and is surrounded either by sea or wastelands. The surrponding wasteland is beautiful but inhospitable and supports little more than rabbits, foxes, and goats. The estate has been managed by the Clermont Family as long as memory serves. The current steward is Pierre de Clermont who has accepted his new lord and master, and has allowed the house to be renovated to meet his new master’s strange needs.

Martin the Reeve refers to it as a ‘mad house’ which does not do much to improve its occupants reputation.

Note: this covenant is in the Provençal Tribunal.

-“Baux” means cliffs and the name refers to the location of the manor house perched at the edge of a limestone cliff overlooking the fishing village of [[Hameau de Saint-Vincent]] which supports the covenant.  The [[Baux Family]] has prospered and owns many and more impressive estates around [[Marseille]] where the family patriarch [[Count Barral]] holds court.
+Casa sus Baux is the covenant of the Magi.
-Time has eroded the cliff face and a few of the outbuilding have fallen into sea, and when Lord Maurice de Merlon died and left his remote estate to the ‘[[Lost Children of Baux]],’ no bothered to contest it.  He named his nephew [[Duran de Merlon]] to be his heir and lord of the manor and its surrounds "a league in every direction".  Of note is that the land is [[allodial land]] and the magi do not own direct allegiance to the Merlon or Baux family.
