Fraternity of the Grinning Abomination

The Fraternity of the Grinning Abomination is a derisive nickname for the Fraternity of Cicuris, a controversial fraternity of the Imperial Circle of Magi, which is famous because of its experimental research into abominations and demonic possession. The creator of the fraternity, Magister Cervus Inuli, famously asserted that abominations could be tamed and made useful, even friendly. The fraternity fell out of favor during the Storm Age after a supposedly "friendly" abomination attacked and killed a Magister's son. However, the fraternity still exists to this day, and has embraced the ridiculous nickname.
