Nervusi Cognitionis was founded in 865 AD, dedicated to longevity research. Original research into improved longevity rituals has been the goal of the conventum since its founding, but its focus has drifted over the centuries toward the production of potent longevity rituals by longevity specialists. This lucrative business has brought immense riches, and necessitated the recruitment of protector magi, who ensure that the longevity specialists are not disturbed in their endeavors.

Nervusi Cognitionis currently has six magi in residence.
