League

In Fifth Edition Ars Magica, a "League" usually refers to a loose Societas largely composed of Jerbiton magi. A league is usually formed for a specific purpose, and disperses once its goal has been met - but some leagues are open ended.

The most famous league was perhaps the Theban League, which opposed Tremere's occupation of the East and is rumoured to have had a hand in the Sundering.

HoHS presentes several sample Leagues. That largest is the League of Gastronomers, but the book also discusses The Daighters of Echo. The Keepers of the Pearl of Great Price, The Humble Brethern, The New Iconophiles, The Pondereres of Weight and Distance, The Silent Ones, The Single Ocean, and The Viticulturalists.
