Return to Houses of Hermes

This is how mages from each of the other Houses of the Order see House Tremere. It represents what any apprentice learning basic Order of Hermes Lore in Stonehenge, Rhine and Normandy tribunals would pick up and therefore is therefore sketchy, if the house is concentrated in far away tribunals.

Domus Magna - Coeris in the Transylvanian Tribunal
Prima - Poena
Symbol - Mars incised with a square
Favoured Tribunals - Transylvania, where it utterly dominates
Members of House Tremere emphasise the importance of judgement, strategy, and detailed planning. They believe in the respect of superiors and in asserting authority over minions. Dignity is of the utmost concern.

House Tremere is extremely close knit, to the extent that voting rights at tribunal are held by the most senior mages. To get the right to vote oneself, to claim ones sigil, it is necessary to defeat the holder in some way. It does not accept members after gauntleting.
