[edit] Organization

[edit] Culture

Prior to being subsumed by House Verditius, House Thig was the Order's resident Technomancy specialist. It's members were often radical and innovative, fusing their knowledges of Hermetic magic and modern technology. Older Houses saw this as foolish dabbling at best and a mockery of their Art at worst. With the fusing of House Verditius came an inherited pedigree that 'legitimised' their style of magic. This did not sit well with all House members, and a selected few broke off to form House Xaos.
