Redcap

A redcap is a member of House Mercere is good standing, employed as a messenger in the Order of Hermes. Although ostensibly full members of the Order, redcaps do not wield Hermetic magic and do not vote at tribunals. Despite this, redcaps enjoy the full protection of the Code, and further rights laid down in the Peripheral Code. A redcap may also serve as a notary. They are Companion-level characters.

The redcap network provides essential services in trade and communication for magi. Trade in books and raw vis, correspondence with fellow scholars and the delivery of messages (especially official ones) and more are all typically accomplished through the redcap network.
