Normandy Tribunal
Reputation: Terrible storyteller, brilliant author 3 (Hermetic)
Preferred Topics: Magic Lore
Iurgium is a magus that other members of his house point to as an example of the efficacy of their beliefs. During his apprenticeship, Iurgium was blinded, but perservered, and was Gauntleted with some amount of honor due to his struggles. His inability to read was crippling to his advancement from there. He was forgotten for a decade soon after, but suddenly appeared at the gates of Cad Gadu in Stonehenge with no warning. He was met by the Primus of the time, Immanola, who spoke briefly with him and sent one of the other Magi there to guide him to back to his covenant in return for a promised book.
Iurgium's return was shocking to his Covenant, as he was now sighted, but had smoldering, burning pits where his useless eyes once were. According to him, Iurgium had slain a dragon and stolen his eyes to repair his own, and his abject refusal of his blinded state showed his Essential nature to be sighted. He immediately set about writing a book which he sent to Cad Gadu, reportedly still in their library. Many other high-quality books of his have since surfaced, though most of them contain a large amount of bragadocious storytelling which cause some to dislike them.
Favors Returned by Iurgium ex Tytalus, Magic Lore Summa in Latin, Level 6 Quality 11
The book gifted to Cad Gadu, a single known copy of it was made for Voluntas to pay off a debt. Cad Gadu claims Cow and Calf rights to the texts. This book is a surprisingly simple text, with clear and precise language. It speaks of the Magical Realm, six known locations in which someone would be able to enter the Magical Realm (Including near Cad Gadu, two in Thebes, one in the city of Rome.) It can also act as an Area Lore (Magic Realm) tractatus.
On Dragons and Slaying by Iurgium ex Tytalus, Magic Lore tractatus in Latin, Quality 11
A very expositionary tale of Arturos the Brave, a young wizard's drive and urges to better himself, and how he drove himself to victory. Despite the fact it shows an unrealistic story of Tytalian glory and dragon-slaying, the actual information on the wyrms is highly accurate.
Genies and Their Uses by Iurgium ex Tytalus, Magic Lore tractatus in Latin, Quality 11
Another grand adventure by the brilliant Tytalian Magus Arturos, this time through the mysterious lands of the Levant, hunting down his kidnapped fiance princess and rescuing her from vile Sahir and their Genie servants. Again, the actual story is unrealistic and full of bravado, but the technical information on Djin and their magic is frighteningly accurate.
Ghosts and Where to Kill Them by Iurgium ex Tytalus, Mentem tractatus in Latin, Quality 11
Delightfully, another adventure from our intrepid Arturos, who is struggling to rescue his princess from the vile depredations of a Tremere who was secretly a vampire. He may have been weakened by the season-long eclipse the wicked Tremere caused, but he did manage to rescue his princess. He was unable to share the secrets of the vampires, due to not wanting to breach the Code of Tremere House secrets, but the information he has on ghosts and spirits is incredibly useful.
