omus Tytali was not presented well or sensibly in HoH:S. As a result, more notes are necessary for Domus Tytali than any other Domus. The commentary below re-defines Domus Tytali as a group with only a few common characteristics. Magi Tytali are individualists who base their individualism on a philosophical foundation. Very little else can be said to be common among magi Tytali.

The Stoic philsophy of Marcus Aurelius provides the foundation for Tytali philosophy. Several Stoic principles underlie all Tytali behavior. First, both good and evil are natural manifestations of the universal Reason; all morality is founded upon the reason of man. Second, the highest good is for one to live in accordance with one's nature; happiness is not attained through honors or wealth, but through the pursuit of some higher goal. Third, one should avoid consideration of those things that are not within one's power to affect, and should pursue according to one's nature those things that are within one's power to affect.

Because the highest good is defined in an individual sense (similar to that of the physis of the Sophists), external rules (the nomos) have no superior moral force of themselves, but only insofar as they can be supported by Reason. This perspective is alien to the majority of people in Mythic Europe, who largely subscribe to rules mandated by an external agency. Tytali philosophy can justify any number of actions that would be regarded as "evil" by most people, because such actions may support some higher goal of the magus. In effect, Tytali philosophy allows the end to justify any means.

Although there are as many variations of Tytali philosophy as there are magi Tytali, nearly all may be categorized in one of the following three schools of thought. These schools of thought are recognized by most magi Tytali, who use them as a form of shorthand when discussing philosophy amongst themselves.

Haristeans believe that the pursuit of things that improve society represents the truest expression of the nature of man, and is what Reason compels the wise to do; this applies first to Domus Tytali, second to Ordo Hermei, and third to mundane society. This reflects most directly the Stoic philosophy of the Romans; it is the most altruistic view among the three. Debate on what things should be pursued to improve society continues, however, leading to a wide divergence of beliefs even among magi of this school of thought.

Hippians believe that the pursuit of social good is only worthwhile if it is necessary to support one’s own higher aspirations; i.e. society is a necessary component of life, and therefore it must be supported to a limited extent. The truest expression of the nature of man is to pursue his own ends. The most common justification for this position is that of skepticism: no one can truly know what is best for others, and thus it is pointless to pursue such ends for their own sake. One can only know what one’s own reason proposes as a worthy goal. This is the plurality view within Domus Tytali (i.e. more magi Tytali subscribe to this view than to any other view)

Hippians share the priorities of the Haristeans: Domus first, then Ordo Hermei, then mundane society - this is evident because for any magus Tytali, the society of the Domus is the most necessary component to aid his ends, followed by Ordo Hermei, and then by mundane society. Quaesitores and Redcaps are typically actively supported for such reasons, although not at the expense of a maga's own goals.

Intemperates are so-called by others within the Domus; they have no name for themselves, for they reject any principle but this: one’s own reasoning faculty is the only measure of one’s actions. This is the rawest expression of individuality in the Domus. Specifically, Intemperates reject the notion that society in any form is necessary for a “free” individual. Not all Intemperates pursue “evil” actions, but because they reject all other philosophical statements as meaningless, they have a certain reputation within the Domus and among other magi. This appears to be the smallest group, but some think that it is actually larger than it seems, because Intemperates may appear to be Hippians, or even Haristeans.

Both Haristeans and Hippians use the counter-clockwise spiral as the symbol of membership in Domus Tytali. Intemperates may display a clockwise spiral to declare their independence of such nonsense; or they may not.

Membership in Domus Tytali is based upon this common philosophical perspective, but does not require it. Magi who do not share this perspective might still pretend to share it, and thus be members of Domus Tytali, but a magus who openly espouses a conflicting philosophy is likely to be removed from the Domus, depending on the attitude of the Primus.
