Chapter 3 |  |
Over the next few days the Covenant received several visitors. Some two weeks after the first arrival, Maga Iuris Perita filia Prati Viridis Guernici ex Objurgatore arrived accompanied by scribes, books, and her household; she also asked to be admitted to the Covenant as a Member. Shortly thereafter, Magus Speculor filius Jovini Bonisagi ex Petrusca arrived, also bearing books, and also asking to join the new Covenant. There was some private expression of surprise that these two young magi should arrive so soon at Caribet that they must have departed immediately upon hearing the news of the founding; and that they should come, with gifts, from two covenants so ill-disposed to the new.
Their requests to join the covenant and expand the membership led to successive re-designs of the grand Laboratory, and much re-laying of the lines and pegs delimiting the proposed ground-plan, increasing from a traditional Square tower, to a Pentagon, and then a "satisfying" Hexagonal tower.
The Redcap Aversus passed by on his rounds through Brittany, thence on to Petrusca and Objurgator.
