These elements combine to varying degrees to form the matter and energy that make up physical reality, and are typically characterized as air, fire, earth, and water. A stone is primarily made up of earth, a flame is mostly fire, and a human being is made up of more or less equal parts of...")

It draws thousands of students and hundreds of teachers from across Mythic Europe. A secret society has grown among these students and scholars where magical charms are cast and amulets are created, and where the study of astronomy, alchemy, and herbalism produce astounding results. These learned magicians refer to themselves as the Mathematici of Bologna, and they are comp...")

Frail crones carefully watch isolated roads and curse passing travelers, rune wizards clash with trolls in the frozen wastes of Scandinavia, and in some villages magical militia wage war against marauding ghosts and faeries. These are the hedge wizard traditions of Mythic Europe. Most in the Order of Hermes believe (largely accurately)...")

Other folk witches live in isolated country cabins, but the local folk know how to find these old women and men when they’re needed. And they know that witches use their fetishes, potions, and incantations to accomplish things beyond mortal ken. A witch might speak with the animals of the wild, curse one’s enemies, or dowse for much...")

The Fimbulwinter supposedly heralds the coming of Ragnarok, and while eddas foretell blustery snow for three consecutive seasons, the prematurely invoked winter described here washes over the world and remains until its power is broken. The result is bleak world without summer, full of starvation and misery. A group of Jotun-bound servants, known as th...")

This cosmic battle, the second of its kind in the history of the world, is fated to result in the destruction of Faerie and the supremacy of magic. The architect of this catastrophe is Loki, a Titan who has managed to slip his bonds and walks free in the world after an eon of confinement. He harbors a deep hatred for the faerie gods w...")

Within are four chapters, each setting out a story of the destruction of Mythic Europe as your player characters know it. Yet in the darkness is a thin ray of light; each chapter also offers a variety of means for the magi to stop the catastrophe and save the world, or at least survive in the aftermath. The title, Dies Irae, is derived from the medieval Latin hym...")

By continuing this traditional division, both Boethius and Martianus Capella cemented it into the minds and curricula of medieval scholars. The trivium (grammar, rhetoric, and logic) and the quadrivium (arithmetic, geometry, music, and astrology) are the two main divisions, the trivium dealing essentially with words and the quadrivium with math...")

There are seemingly as many definitions of “interfering” as there are magi, and because of the political nature of Hermetic law and justice, most magi err on the side of caution and remain withdrawn even where their power could make a positive difference. There is another way, however. Magi of the Order of Hermes are the most powerful workers of magic that the world has known....")

This term refers to Infernal effects that resemble Hermetic spells, which require two Supernatural Abilities to cast: a Method, which describes what the infernalist must do to bring about the effect and also determines which Characteristic applies to his total, and a Power, which describes the sorts of effects that this activity produces.
