Jerbiton

From NickWiki

House Jerbiton (YARE-bih-tahn) is interested in the mundane world, and sometimes assumes the duty of keeping the Order on good terms with the nobility and Church. This inclination in its members often stems from a noble background —apprentices are usually taken from the aristocracy, and these magi maintain ties afterwards. Other members are taken from skilled artists and crafstmen who have The Gift. The Gentle Gift (page 42) is particularly common in this house.

Many members of other houses believe that followers of Jerbiton are too closely bound to the mundane powers to be trusted. On the other hand, Jerbiton magi fear that members of the Order have become isolated from humanity, risking bloody conflict with the mundanes. They try energetically to heal this rift, and pursue aesthetic and Classical knowledge with a passion.

Members of House Jerbiton are trained in mundane study, the arts and politics, and the House is held together by these common interests.
