House Mercere

One of the twelve Houses of the Order of Hermes, most of the members of House Mercere are unGifted Redcaps, serving as messengers of the Order. The House also contains a smaller number of Gifted Mercere magi, descendants by blood or lineage from Founder Mercere. Its domus magna is Harco, in the Roman Tribunal.

House Mercere provides vital services to the Order, serving as its communication network, banking institution, and traders.
