Tradition Book: Hollow Ones (Revised Edition)
 |
 |
Since the fall of Rome¸ the wizards of the Order of Hermes have imposed their potent will on the Tapestry of reality¸ discovering¸ shaping and ordering the secret forces of the cosmos. Much of the modern world's image of magic itself comes from the Order's lore¸ filtered through sensationalistic minds. But the truth is even more sensational¸ for Hermetics don't merely cast spells and summon demons. Their Art bends the universe itself to their will.
With the rise of the Avatar Storm and the fall of its Horizon chantries¸ the Order faces the greatest challenge in its history - adapt to the modern world or relinquish all power to a monolithic science that denies the Art of Magic. Now more than ever¸ the Order needs the creativity and audacity of the Founders. Continues the revolution storyline in the wake of the Ascension War.

Somewhere in the limbo between Tradition and Craft¸ the Hollow Ones walk their own way. They donšt need anyone elsešs acceptance and they sure as hell donšt need anyone telling them how to go about their business. Other mages dismiss them as juveniles and junkies. And yet¸ even Traditionalists can be wrong and the Hollow Ones have a very wide network indeed. Underestimated and ignored¸ perhaps the Hollow Ones have more strength than anyone realizes. In the style of the newly revised Tradition and Convention books¸ an exploration of the Hollow Ones - the distinctive magical subgroup that isnšt quite Tradition¸ Craft or action. Finally¸ a book dedicated solely to this enigmatic society. Whether itšs poetry and lace or utter nihilism¸ the Hollow Ones occupy a growing niche in the crumbling World of Darkness
