The covenant of Rethra predates the Order of Hermes. In the eighth century its priests, serving the mysterious god of prophecy Svantevit were brought into the Order, and the magi-priests have led the oracular temple ever since. Always reclusive, in the beginning of the 12th century Rethra sank into winter and isolated itself from all until in 1137 its sole remaining member, Hadat of Tytalus, issued forth a call throughout the Order - let young magi come and join Rethra, for its halls are empty and full of promise. Let young blood course through the veins of the ancient covenant.

This is the result.
