A Vast and Varied Land: More about The Dragon and the Bear

The expansive Novgorod Tribunal covers a swathe of Eastern Europe, including Russia, Poland, and more. The presence of the Hermetic Order here is minimal, with only a few covenants scattered across the region. Here, power is held by the Volkhvy — religious leaders of the slavs.

Join the Novgorod Tribunal with this Ars Magica fourth edition supplement. Incorporate Volkhv characters and their entirely new system of magic into your games using the mechanics provided here. Learn more about Slavic deities and faeries. Use one of the four fully detailed covenants in your games, or create your own.
