The secretive leaders of House Hermetika, the self-stylised Hierarchs, are loathe to reveal anything regarding their House's history. What is known is that House Hermetika was likely founded during the Dark Age of Technology, as the Mezoan Forge has acknowledged having fought beside the Knights of House Hermetika throughout the Age of Strife; most notoriously against the vicious xenos of the Mitu Conglomerate which long plagued the region of the Coronid Deeps and was eventually eradicated during the Great Crusade. In stark contrast to their fellow Knights from other worlds, the Hierarchs form a caste of warrior-monks which place great value on meditative and ascetic practices as well as on more traditional martial virtues.

  • The secretive leaders of House Hermetika, the self-stylised Hierarchs, are loathe to reveal anything regarding their House's history. What is known is that House Hermetika was likely founded during the Dark Age of Technology, as the Mezoan Forge has acknowledged having fought beside the Knights of House Hermetika throughout the Age of Strife; most notoriously against the vicious xenos of the Mitu Conglomerate which long plagued the region of the Coronid Deeps and was eventually eradicated during the Great Crusade. In stark contrast to their fellow Knights from other worlds, the Hierarchs form a caste of warrior-monks which place great value on meditative and ascetic practices as well as on more traditional martial virtues. Kaldeia, not unlike Mezoa, is a volcanic world. However Kaldeia's volcanoes have been long dormant, the receding lava-level having left great underground webs of sulphurous caves. This sulphur is the principal source of the Grand Order's wealth, and the foremost trade-item it has to offer to its Mechanicum allies. Too powerful to be coerced into submission and yet too reliant on trade with the Tech-priests to stand apart, Kaldeia and Mezoa have entered a state of symbiosis, both worlds being able to provide what the other lacks. Long standard centuries of exchange have seen both Forge and House grow more alike, with elements of the strange ascetic and meditative practices of the Hermetikan Hierarchs slowly infiltrating the orthodox rites of the Mezoan Tech-priests, while the Hermetikan Sacristans replaced the traditional perfect being of Hermetikan mythology with a distorted interpretation of the Omnissiah.
