Author Biographies

Erik Dahl has been writing for Ars Magica for almost ten years, and appropriately this is his thirteenth book for the Fifth Edition, the thirteenth Tribunal book of the line. He lives in far-off California, which he fancies to be an Arcadian analogue of Provence. He organizes the annual Grand Tribunal America convention every summer and hopes that the reader will consider attending. He was especially glad to work with Ben McFarland, who took everything that Erik did on this project and made all of it better. Thanks, Ben!

Mark Faulkner works as a chef at the Castle nightclub in Chicago. Formerly known as Excalibur, and long before as Limelight, the building was originally the Chicago Historic Society. Legend has it that it is haunted by several various ghosts and that occult rituals are conducted in secret rooms. Mark would like to thank everyone who participated in the creation of this book: the authors, the editor, the playtesters, Atlas staff, and God almighty.

Lachie Hayes lives a very long way from Provence in a land where bunyips rather than dracs are the most famous mythical water creatures. He'd like to thank Timothy Ferguson for the inspiration for the Coenobium found in the new House Jerbiton description, but also the dedicated playtesters for being the unyielding anvil upon which this supplement was forged by repeated hammering on the part of the authors. This is Jarkman's third contribution to Ars Magica Fifth Edition.

Ben McFarland lives in the wilds of Upstate New York, where he continues to venture into mysterious regiones in search of adventure with the priceless support of his wonderful wife, Mandy, his family, and the excellent advice of his steadfast friend, James.

CJ Romer first encountered this Tribunal via the early books Mistridge and Pact of Pasaquine, which helped shape his idea of what Ars Magica should be. He really enjoyed writing for a book where the Hermetic culture is not that different from the one described in rulebook, which after Thebes and Hibernia made a great change. He would like to dedicate his efforts on this book to the faithful grog, Hugh Wake.
