Mythic Europe - House Interpretations

  1. Most magi dress so that they are easily recognisable as members of the Order. This often includes badges and insignia, which are known to many learned people. Players whose character dresses differently, should be careful to state this.
  2. The Irish year starts on 1 November (toussaints or Halloween), and the year is divided in two, with Summer starting 1 May. Matching this with Hermetic seasons, it is reasonable to let the year start with Winter 1 November, Spring 1 Februar, Summer 1 May, and Autumn 1 August. This places solstices and equinoxes approximately mid-season. The difficulty is, of course, that the Winter of 1220, starts 1 November 1219 by modern calendar.
  3. The common calendar year starts with Spring from the Spring Equinox. Winter is the last season of the year, from Winter solstice to Spring Equinox.
