In most Ars Magica [[Saga|sagas]], the [[Order of Hermes]] consists of twelve "houses". (Depending on the time period of the saga, there may be thirteen instead, plus any unofficial Houses the players may have invented for themselves) Houses are groups of wizards descended (through apprenticeship, not necessarily blood) from one of the [[Founders]] of the [[Order of Hermes]]. Members of a House usually share common interests and/or magical powers. The Houses are: : [[House Bjornaer]] : A House of shapeshifters. In [[ArM5]], this is a [[Mystery House]] : [[House Bonisagus]] : A House of magical researchers and statesmen. In [[ArM5]], this is a [[True Lineage]]. : [[House Criamon]] : A House of highly mystical magi. In [[ArM5]], this is a [[Mystery House]]. : [[House Guernicus]] : A House containing the [[Quaesitor|Quaesitors]], the judges of the Order. In [[ArM5]], it is a [[True Lineage]]. In [[ArM4]] and earlier, it was known as House Quaesitor. : [[House Ex Miscellanea]] : A highly eclectic House of magi from many different traditions, some of them [[Non Hermetic|non-Hermetic]]. In [[ArM5]], this is a [[Societas]]. : [[House Flambeau]] : A House of warrior magi, often specializing in the [[Arts]] of [[Ignem]] or [[Perdo]]. In [[ArM5]], this is a [[Societas]]. : [[House Jerbiton]] : A House of magi interested in [[Mundane]] culture or society. In [[ArM5]], this is a [[Societas]]. : [[House Mercere]] : A House that includes many [[unGifted]] [[redcaps]] and some [[magi]]. In [[ArM5]], it is a [[True Lineage]]. : [[House Merinita]] : A House that is interested in the [[Faerie Realm]]. In [[ArM5]], it is a [[Mystery House]]. : [[House Tremere]] : A highly organized, hierarchical House with strong political influence. In [[ArM5]], it is a [[True Lineage]]. : [[House Tytalus]] : A House whose members share a philosophy of thriving on conflict. In [[ArM5]], it is a [[Societas]]. : [[House Verditius]] : A House whose members excel in making [[Enchanted Items]]. In [[ArM5]], it is a [[Mystery House]]. = The Thirteenth House In addition, earlier in the history of [[Mythic Europe]], there was a thirteenth House called [[House Diedne]].
