The Hermetic Oath itself is given in full in the book.

I love that they've included court rulings and precedents clarifying the code. It's like the real Middle Ages, but cool.

Are there Scandinavian wizards in the Order?

Nope. The Scandinavian rune-wizards are doing their own thing and have actually kept the Order out of their lands pretty handily.

E: Actually, they're so good at it that the Order believes they're organized into some kind of Order of Odin which is mounting resistance and may be trying to invade, we need to stop them now.

(There isn't an Order of Odin. The Scandinavian wizards aren't organized at all. They just work really heavily with the locals, for Gifted wizards.)

:tinfoil: Thanks, that sounds intriguing.

SMERSH? Fertility cults? Is DG incorporating James Bond and The Wicker Man?

SMERSH was a real Soviet agency. PISCES, I think, is taken from Gravity's Rainbow; did it mention them having a HQ called "The White Visitation" or anything?

Not that I'm seeing. The only base they built themselves is the one on the island, which they named Magonia.

That didn't mean anything to me, but apparently it's a UFO magazine named after a cloud world where troublesome fairies came from. How appropriate.

Yeah, having him be half-demon is traditional. Having him possess the dead body of a woman to literally gently caress Arthur with is new. :stonk:

(Yes, they are described as lovers out of wedlock.)

They're described as dating. :wtc:

Why is it called the the "City of Doom"? :iiam:

Anyway, it's a scummy place with all sorts of slaaaves and druuugs and criiime. Humans are sold like cattle and also et. It has "totem poles" and ledges for flying monsters to land on, because they like that.

This is the least bad thing in the review so far. At least there's a tiny speck of thought in there. Which just goes to show how low the bars are.

An evil Arabian cow eating babies. Am I reading RaHoWa?

That's not an Arabian cow, it's an Etruscan wolf - the kids are Romulus and Remus. I suppose the Roman Empire was so evil it ate its own children?
