Another aspect of Circle life is the fraternity. When a mage becomes an enchanter, he may ally himself with a fraternity. These are cliques that cross Circle boundaries, mages of common interests and goals who band together to ensure that their voice is heard within the College of Magi in Cumberland. The largest fraternities currently are: - the Loyalists, who advocate loyalty and obedience to the Chantry. - the Aequitarians, who advocate temperance and follow a distinct code of conduct which they believe all mages should hold themselves to.
