Editing Order of Hermes (section)

=== Houses ===
As you can imagine, a globe spanning millennia-old conspiracy that has literally reality-warping levels of egotism as an entry requirement can get pretty out of control. Luckily, the Hermetic love politics and structure almost as much as they love magic itself. As a result, the House structure divides the Order into [[Splat|subfactions]] based on political interests and magical praxis.

Note that while the Order as a whole has a nominally unified [[Reality Paradigm]], each house has its own body of theories and signature techniques. In addition, the Order has been around in some form or another since Imperial Rome, so Houses have been formed, merged, destroyed, divided, promoted or demoted countless times through the ages. There are currently 7 Major Houses.

Note that, depending on the Metaplot you're using, the Solificati, Ngoma, and Wu Lung Crafts [[skub|may or may not]] have been absorbed and turned into '''Houses Solificati''', '''Ngoma''' and '''Hong Lei''', respectively.
