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. | The Stained are an ecstatic group of multi-Order mages who claim a heritage that stretches back to the Picts.
