Mundane

A mundane is lacking in supernatural ability, or not affiliated with the supernatral Realms of Power. This usually extends to people with links to the Realm but without The Gift. Thus an area with no supernatural Aura is mundane, as are nobles, peasants, and even infernalists, priests, and arguably holy men. Faeries, magical beasts, angels, and so on are not mundanes. Magi are never mundanes, even if they lack the Gift (e.g. redcaps).

Mundane society encompasses all tiers of medieval society, including the Church and nobility. The Code of Hermes forbids interference with mundanes, but in many cases friction between magi and mundanes is all but inevitable. This clause is hence of vital importance in many ArM sagas, as it directs the interaction of the magi with the Church, nobility, and common folk of Mythic Europe.
