rdfs:comment
  • House Mercere was one of the twelve founding Houses of the Order of Hermes. While it has lost its original role, House Mercere survives in modern form as House Fortunae.
  • Mercere is a House of heralds, heroes, mercenaries and merchants. After the Founder lost his magical powers he assumed a non-magical role valuable to other magi: that of messenger. Now House Mercere is the backbone of the Hermetic Order. They hold the loose association of magi together by facilitating communication, encouraging trade, and aiding their sodales in all parts of Mythic Europe.

  • Mercere is a House of heralds, heroes, mercenaries and merchants. After the Founder lost his magical powers he assumed a non-magical role valuable to other magi: that of messenger. Now House Mercere is the backbone of the Hermetic Order. They hold the loose association of magi together by facilitating communication, encouraging trade, and aiding their sodales in all parts of Mythic Europe. Followers of Mercere are more commonly known as Redcaps because of the headgear they wear as a badge of office. Redcaps are permitted to attend Hermetic Tribunals, but by convention they only vote if they have The Gift. House Mercere is a true lineage. Mercere trained two apprentices before he lost his Gift, and thus there is a small Gifted tradition in this House, which is composed almost entirely of blood descendants of Mercere.
