 History of the Order of Hermes
The Order of Hermes was founded chiefly by wizards who had descended from the Roman Cult of Mercury, which in turn took its wisdom and knowledge of the mystic powers from the Greek cult of Hermes.
In the early days of the Order, this House consisted of mainly British, Welsh and Breton druids, for Diedne's Irish counterparts disapproved of the Order, as the druids of Ireland were teachers in their tribes, they chafed under the "non-interference with mundanes" clause of the Code, and many refused to join.
