Genius Locus

A genius locus the spirit of a place, such as a mountain or river. Canon provides several options for detailing such spirits.

The most detailed description is presented in Realms of Power: Magic, along with several examples.

A previous disucssion can be found in Guardians of the Forest, where Forest Spirits are discussed in detail, including their possible powers, growth, and dissolution. Taking the Nature Lore virtue from Houses of Hermes: Mystery Cults into account, these rules could be extended to address other natural environments.

Jinn are discussed in Houses of Hermes: Societates 134. Further details can be discerned by the discussion of the Sihr Ability, HoHS 135-136, and by consulting The Cradle and the Crescent.
