Mood:
The mood of the Houston game is one of discovery, competition, and overall the finding of one's own way. When that means dealing with other mages, countless instances of subtle intrigue will make themselves known.

IC rules and setting:

The city is administrated by a council. The exact number of councillors varies, but stays around 5. Houston is dominated by the Free Council, and currently 3 of the 5 councillors are Free Council, with 1 Mysterium and 1 Silver Ladder. There is no high councillor, but the councillor with most seniority is generally considered first amongst equals.

The law of the city is thus:

• The taking of the life of another Mage is prohibited.
