&lt;br /&gt;
The Order of Hermes (also Enigmatic Order of Hermes or, informally, the Order) is the fictional organization to which [[Magi|magi]] in Ars Magica belong. All wizards in the Order of Hermes can use a powerful, flexible form of magic called [[Hermetic magic]].  Most of them speak [[Latin]] as a common language, enabling magi from across [[Mythic Europe]] to share magical books and spells.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Most magi in the Order live in [[Covenant|covenants]] but some prefer a solitary existence.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Houses&lt;br /&gt;

Magi in the Order of Hermes belong to one of twelve [[Houses of Hermes ]]. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
The Order has its own legal system, called the [[Code of Hermes]].  It is governed by regional councils of magi known as [[Tribunal|Tribunals]].    &lt;br /&gt;

The Order of Hermes (also Enigmatic Order of Hermes or, informally, the Order) is the fictional organization to which [[Magi|magi]] in Ars Magica belong. All wizards in the Order of Hermes know a special kind of defensive magic called [[Parma Magica]] and nearly all can use a powerful, flexible form of magic called [[Hermetic Magic]].  Most of them speak [[Latin]] as a common language, enabling magi from across [[Mythic Europe]] to share magical [[Book | books]] and [[Spell | spells]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
= Composition&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Every [[Magus|magus]] of the Order belongs to one of twelve [[Houses of Hermes ]]. Most magi also hold other political positions (such as a quaesitor) and/or associate with other Hermetic socities, cults, cabals, or so on. [[Hermetic Society]] is a complex thing.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
According to [[Fifth Edition]], there are about 1200 magi in the Order (page 9, first paragraph). Most magi in the Order live in groups called [[Covenant|covenants]] but some prefer a solitary existence.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
= Law and Politics&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Order has its own legal system. [[Hermetic Law]] is based on the [[Code of Hermes]] and the [[Peripheral Code]].  The Order is governed by regional councils of magi known as [[Regional Tribunal|Tribunals]]. The Tribunals operate as courts of law, with the aid of [[Quaesitor|Quaesitors]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
= History&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Order was founded in 767 A.D. by the tweleve [[Founder|Founders]] under the leadership of [[Bonisagus the Founder | Bonisagus]] and [[Trianoma]].  Its magic and traditions are loosely based on the ancient Roman [[Cult of Mercury]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It has since known many political turmoils and upheavals, including the [[Tytalus Corruption]] and the [[Schism War]]. A brief depiction of the Order&amp;#039;s history is given in [[ArM5]] 9-10. The &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Houses of Hermes&amp;#039;&amp;#039; series of supplements further provides details on each House&amp;#039;s history.&lt;br /&gt;
