Le Pacte des Magicae Artes

Purpose: Le Pacte des Magicae Artes welcomes serious magicians seeking a deeper understanding of the arcane, including the study of different paths.

Traditions allowed:
- Hermetic
- Shamanic
- Voodoo
- Buddhism
- Norse

Strictures:
- Oath- “I affirm and declare that I shall honorably walk the paths of magic, sharing my gifts and insights with my brethren, faithfully adhering to the high standard of conduct as required by the Code of the Pacte. Without equivocation or evasion, I seek the truth and purpose through the Artes, and will everstrive for self-improvement, fulfillment of my obligations, and the betterment the order. To all of this I pledge on my sacred honor.”
- Exclusive Membership- Magicians with magic rating four or greater only. May not be a member of another initiatory group. Members must post their Streetnames and traditions to this dumpshock thread.
- Fraternity- Liberté, égalité, fraternité!
- Attendance - The group meets a minimum of once yearly during a mystical convention. Due to the group's nature of information sharing, the group holds many other non-mandatory meetings throughout the year to conduct training, group business and related seminars.
- Belief (Professionalism) – Members are required to maintain a high code of conduct in their work and interactions.
- Dues - 1,000/month per member per month. While the Pacte is actively looking to branch out to other sprawls, it currently maintains a Middle lifestyle meeting place in NYC:
Comforts: Middle 3 (Comfy overstuffed chairs)
Entertainment: Squatter 1 (Soycafe maker & subscription to “SECmage” trade magazine)
Necessities: High 4 (Plenty of meeting space)
Neighborhood: Middle 3 (Third story walkup)
Security: High 4 (Lots of wards)

The Le Pacte des Magicae Artes is a fairly new organization on the local scene, part traditional English gentlemen’s club, part mystical research group. Members are expected to frequently lead seminars and teach one another new spells, theories or any other areas of applicable scholarly or practical pursuit. Membership is open to all, from corporate mages to wiz-gangers, and respect for fellow members is required. To encourage egalitarian dialog, discussions of “day jobs” with the confines of the organization is forbidden, though members often gather privately offsite to conduct personal business. Obviously, involving the Pacte in any unauthorized “biz” is grounds for immediate expulsion. Interestingly, though his name appears on no roster, a mage known as Quince is afforded full membership privileges. Additionally, rumors persist of a high powered magic “hit-squad” deployed for egregious violations of code.

This group has been SRM approved and is now open for business. Please note the Belief (Professionalism) stricture; group members are expected to maintain a high standard of conduct and behavior during play. If you'd like to join us, please post your streetname and tradition to this thread (and if you're interested in conducting a class or lecture, you're welcome to post a synopsis as well).

And while Quince isn't a bound member, he is somewhat of a founder on the mundane aspects of this group. Critical in its forming and paper work, etc. Note that the Dues are 1k month, as we gain members, we gain resources. I'm assuming Quince will (as best as he can) edit the first post to show when we get enough for a bump in head quarters. I'll do my best to keep the roster list in the third post updated from now on.
