House Tytalus is one of the twelve Houses in the Order of Hermes, a Societas dating back to the Founders Tytalus. They are masters of conflict, especially social intrigue. The 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 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, 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 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.
References
- The core description of the House is given in ArM5 12.
