'''House Tytalus''' is one of the twelve [[House|Houses]] in the [[Order of Hermes]], a [[Societas]] dating back to the [[Founder|Founders]] [[Tytalus the Founder|Tytalus]]. They are masters of conflict, especially social intrigue. The [[Domus Magna|domus magna]] of the House is [[Fudarus]], in the [[Normandy Tribunal]].

Tytalus apprentices undergo a particularly grueling apprenticeship, which grants them the [[Self Confident]] [[Virtue]]. They can otherwise be very different from each other, although they generally follow the philosophies of the House.

[[Houses of Hermes: Societates]] provides a detailed description of the [[Canon|canonic]] House. It touches on many subjects, but is especially noteworthy for its expansive discussion of Tytalus culture and philosophy, including the description of apprenticeship and the philosophy of the House and the mechanical tools allowing the use of [[Intrigue]] and [[Debate]].

Perhaps the major event in the House's history is the [[Corruption of House Tytalus|Corruption]], also known as the Betrayal within the House.

The House currently has no clear [[Primus]], as there are two contenders to the throne. See [[HoHS]] 75.

==Particular magical characteristics==
The [[Titanoi]] are a tradition that is most closely descended from Tytalus' and Guorna the Fetid's original tradition of magic, though knowledge was lost in the events following the [[Corruption of House Tytalus|Corruption]] and pieced back together by joining with a separate spritualist tradtion.

The [[Leper Magi]] are another tradition within the house that at least in part descended from Tytalus as well.  

In addition, the Tytalus section of [[Houses of Hermes: Societates]]  introduced the [[Persona]] virtue and ability and gave the impression it was particularly an ability taught to Tytali, though not necessarily widespread.
