->''There is something which unites magic and applied science while separating both from the "wisdom" of the earlier ages. For the wise men of old, the cardinal problem had been how to conform the soul to reality, and the solution had been knowledge, self-discipline, and virtue. For magic and applied science alike the problem is how to subdue reality to the wishes of men: the solution is a technique; and both, in the practice of this technique, are ready to do things hitherto regarded as disgusting and impious.''

->Our shared history with the [[MadScientist Daedaleans]] goes back to the Reed and Cup, to Rome and Athens, Alexandria's Library and Solomon's Temple. We are, quite literally, two faces of the same card, seekers of enlightenment who refuse to be bound by convention. For millennia, we have worked beside one another in academies, laboratories, archives and battlefields. We even share a love for dominion through enlightenment. But whereas our Order favors personal mysticism, the Daedaleans prefer practical results. We seek the soul, while they seek the machine. Both sides demand perfection, but neither one agrees where it's found... or how it should be used.
