 | Magi's life doesn't take only place inside Covenant's walls; the development of some missions gets them in contact with different and fascinating realities and lets them embark on a friendship with members of profane world. It also happens tha one of these encounters may mark in a good or evil way Cliffheart's inhabitants' life. |
Sir William Richyard He's the chief village of An Góilín (Goleen), a town on the mainland right in front of the Covenant. An Góilín is known for its mine stone, one of the biggest of this part of Ireland. Sir William leads a dozen of well armed men. The occupation is not heavy. |  |
| Geoff Lumbyam Geoff is a stationarius exempla tenentes, as educated people of the period say, a book seller. His work consists not only in selling and buying books, but he takes care of them too. Obviously, books he deals with and which he keeps exempla or peciae (extracts) of are mundane. But, even if rarely, it's possible he has an arcane text. For his job, he's considered an important element in the Covenant's economy and sometimes Cliffheart, he is friend with, gave its support and aid to Geoff and his family. He lives with his wife in Cionn tSáile (Kinsale); in 1221 he lost his son due to a theft in his shop. |
The archbishop Samson Spiritual guide of the St. Edmund Cathedral of Corcaigh (Cork).He is not a pious man, being more concerned with the management of the abbey and with increasing both its power and security. The abbot of St. Edmund is an ecclesiastical dignitary on a par with a bishop, and he is very influencing all over Ireland, without any doubt especially in the southern part. Corcaigh is dominated by the powerful presence of the Cathedral. Samson is phisically a skinny man, short and he always wears the benedictian black dress. His only jewel is the ring he is used to sign his own correspondence with. His voice is firm, and he knows to have a great charisma when required. |  |
 | Lord Robert of Wuarden Lord Robert is very impressive-looking,although he seems intimidated by Maximianus. He is almost six feet tall, and solidly built without an ounce of fat. He is clean shaven, and his hair, which is black with some flecks of silver,is chopped short. He is wearing a green tunic and brown hose, with a fine cloak of deep blue over the top. He is in his early forties and looks like it. His wife died giving birth to Mathilda, and he has four other surviving children. His elder son is a knight serving with a local noble, while the younger is fostered with another knight a few dozen miles away. His eldest daughter is married to a knight from Yorkshire, and the middle one has been placed in a nunnery near Monaghan.He respects Magi and their Art e he will always treat well members of the Order. They say that Lord Robert of Wuarden has a dark secret. |
Jocelin of Mercere Jocelin is an unGifted Redcap (that is, he has no magical powers himself, and is a member of House Mercere, who are often called Redcaps after their distinctive head-gear), and he has been serving this area of the Hibernian Tribunal for a dozen years. Jocelin is dressed in travel-stained clothes of good quality and the red cap of a Hermetic messenger. He has an average appearance, with brown hair, a beard, and green eyes. He has no magical abilities him-self, but he wears a ring which grants him level 25 magic resistance. He carries an axe and a small shield. The shield is enchanted to turn away any blow on which he concentrates. He is a competent fighter, but he shouldn't have to fight. |  |
 | Ciaran na of the Kia Sidhe ... and at the front of the circle stands a man-like fairy with black hair and elfin features, wearing a circlet of silver, Ciaran na of the Kia Sidhe. Very intelligent being, he rules his people with authority and justice. Mortals can't know much more. Few persons can say to have met him. |

 | Alexander Rocheford, Duke of Bristol In 1226 he marries Mathilda Wuarden FitzStepen, Lord Robert's daughter. Due to this wedding he gains the control over Cill Airne (Killarney) county, effectively replacing Mc Charty. |
Gwen Mc Charty, Ard ri of Cill Airne Mc Charty is a hot blooded man feeling on his back all the weight of the irish resistance. Restless and shady, his movements are quick, nervous. Often, in his opinion, the end justifies the means. Who knows if his spirit finds rest at least at night. His wife is Olivia of Ennis. |  |
 | Baetan O'Worthy, Ard ri of Kenmore A man not appalling neither for his aspect nor for his character. He's the loyal Mc Charty's follower, beside him in every action against Englishmen. His wife is Kirian of Kilkee. |
