As an avid Ars Magica fan, I didn't appreciate this book much. It's a supplement for the Ars Magica roleplaying game, centered on a covenant called Triamore. It provides details on the covenant itself, the surrounding area, and some general story ideas for things that could happen there.

I found it too specific for me to integrate its ideas into my current saga (most of the information is difficult to separate from the locale), and too general to make starting a new saga set in Triamore worthwhile (no story ideas with any meat to them).

Finally, the new rules it contains were, I thought, extremely imbalancing from a game perspective. They advocate a heightened learning scale, with the weak argument that characters in Triamore will be too busy adventuring to study in the lab, and therefore should be able to progress in Arts based on experience and spellcasting.

Personally, I was disappointed with this book. However, depending on your needs, it could serve your troupe better than it did mine.
