Description "Having a sense of magic, is to a man standing on the ocean floor. He feels the currents and every movement, minute or massive, while all others remain on land. What I have just described to thee, is but a pale metaphor that could never describe the feeling a mage knows when around magic. To try and describe thus would be to describe sight to the blind, music to the deaf, and should thou find a way to do so, thy gratitude would be unending."
 Quote from Jules DeRivière, Mage of the Star-Seer Faith.

 House Sortilege is located in the land of Marcia, a land infused with magic to where the surroundings are warped by it. With this high amount of magic in the region, it comes as little surprise than it, and the surrounding regions, have an increased amount of those magickly inclined. This is to a point where a good majority of mages in the kingdom are of Marcian descent, with others coming from the County of Jango and Duchies of Mang and Leo. Thusly then, the House Sortilege employs a large amount of battle mages, rivaling the amounts found in the runic orders. This has been so since the fall of the Orcustre Empire, and the rise of the southern kingdom of Cantil. As Cantil grew across the peninsula, it came across a land drenched in magic and the ruins of cities built from the very fabric of magic itself. From there, House Herrera set up a house for the sole reason to maintain the region and recruit more mages from the populace. This gave the armies of Cantil a massive magical advantage against other kingdoms and southern nations. It was said that their ships could bring ice, fire, wind and earth to any ship or shore the king deemed necessary. It was only with the combined effort of the Dwarven Empire and the kingdom of Ogrenzia with the islands of Ermtir in the fold, to put the beast down. While House Herrera was brought down to a single boy king, House Sortilege submitted itself before the allied forces and was given mercy, after all the house members whom supported the previous regime were excited. Since then, the house has been a significant member of the kingdom. Their mages can be found across the kingdom, seeking strive in the magic arts.
