House Diedne was a founding house of the Order of Hermes.

It was a pagan,[1], druidic,[2] non-Latinate House[3] that contributed Spontaneous Magic to the knowledge taught at founding of the Order.

In very early eleventh century hostilities broke out between it and magi of primarily houses Flambeau and Tremere. The hostilities escalated into the Schism War, which concluded with the death or dissappearance of all magi of House Diedne.

Although the House itself is considered extinct,[4] its legacy has not been forgotten and may be found in many ways even in the current day.[5][6][2]

House Relationships

In most situations, House Diedne kept cold relations with House Flambeau[1] and particularly House Tremere[1] while keeping warmer ties with House Merinita[6] and House Bjornaer[3]. Its relationship to House Verditius was mostly neutral.[7]

Many on the ranks of House Ex Miscellanea mistrusted House Diedne due to conflicts in Britain that predated the founding of the Order. Perhaps ironically, both Houses ended up developing an affinity for receiving Hedge Wizards into their ranks.[8]
