Thebes Tribunal

The Theban Tribunal (also called the Tribunal of Thebes or the Thebes Tribunal) is the regional Tribunal that includes the Greek peninsula and Asia Minor. In 1220, all of the Theban Tribunal is part of the mundane Byzantine Empire. The Theban Tribunal is unusual in that Greek, rather than Latin, is the language magi use for their Hermetic business and magical writings (SE page 29).

The Theban Tribunal is a borderland of the Order; it is bordered on the north and west by the Transylvanian Tribunal but the territory to the east and southeast belongs to the Seljuk Turks and is considered to be outside the Order of Hermes altogether. The Theban Tribunal communicates by sea with the Levant Tribunal and could be considered its nearest neighbor. See the Map of Mythic Europe

Current Edition Resources

The Fifth Edition sourcebook, Sundered Eagle: the Theban Tribunal describes the Theban Tribunal in detail.

Current Edition Covenants

Sundered Eagle describes the following covenants:

  • A large Tremere covenant is alluded to in HoHTL 115.
  • The covenant of Erebos is mentioned in AM 52, containing several Perdo specialists and located near an ancient sanctuary of the Cult of Hecate in the Cambunian Mountains. They are in conflict with the Daughters of Erichto.

Past Edition Resources

The Theban Tribunal received less attention than most other Tribunals until Sundered Eagle was published; therefore there are few resources for Fourth Edition and earlier.
