Jake is going to be playing the Bookbinder, who was previously at Manu Tenere and therefore knows the visiting mages well. It seemed to me and Matt like a good first character, connected to the current plot line, a decent potential regular character who we have never seen in play, and an in to a caste within the covenant we have largely ignored (the educated Tympanians, the psuedo-Tympanians from Manu Tenere, and the urban professionals recruited from the capital city) which also includes the Chatelian, Robert (Calvus's scribe), the Finger's scribe, the chief Mason, and the secular Glassworkers.

Jake was wondering what he should read to catch up on things. I have some suggestions, but if anyone else has any suggestions that would be great too. In particular, Dylan, who has actually recently introduced herself to the material, might have a particularly good sense for the critical stuff to read.

My suggestions:
The session write-ups: (all of the entries titled with dates)
The Short History of Tympania (particularly the early chapters on the fall of the Theocracy and the final chapters on the Three Kingdoms)
The (very incomplete) Gaetani culture and history entries
