An ancient fraternity of Mysterium magi dedicated to recovering the lost lore of Atlantis. It is they who maintain the Athenaeum, and those who bring them rare books and artifacts are likely to win sponsorship or even membership, in some cases.

The Stained are an ecstatic group of multi-Order mages who claim a heritage that stretches back to the Picts. There are druids, witches, faerie seers and shamans among their number, and they are known by their blue tattoos. In the rare instances when the Inficiunti can be found in London, they hold as their public sanctum a residence overlooking Hyde Park in West London. Their influence has been sufficient to keep the park from being openly lit at night, providing its acres for their use.

Beneath the great outer buildings lies the Sanctum of the Roseacrux Sodality.

The Seekers maintain the Athenaeum, which is located in a series of vaults beneath the British Museum, in North-Central London. They also keep a public sanctum overlooking Bedford Square, near the museum.
