A True Lineage, House Guernicus pursues its Founder's mission of preserving the Order of Hermes by maintaining its laws and structure. Virtually all its members are quaesitors, and the House effectively controls the administration of Hermetic law. Their domus magna is Magvillus, in the Rome Tribunal.
In Fifth Edition, the House is described in detail in Houses of Hermes: True Lineages, pages 35-37. This description was written by David Woods.
This House is also sometimes called House Quaesitor, but note that there are always many non-Guernicus quaesitors in the Order.
House Guernicus in Past Editions
In ArM1 through ArM3, this House was called House Quaesitor. In Fourth Edition, the name was changed to House Quaesitoris[1] ("House of the Quaesitors"), which is better Latin.
In Fourth Edition, if a magus from another House attained the office of Quaesitor, he also joined House Quaesitoris[1].
Starting with Fifth Edition, the House has been called House Guernicus after its Founder. It is now considered a True Lineage[2]. Magi who become Quaesitors in Fifth Edition retain their membership in their original Houses[2]: the office is independent of House membership.
