| {{Tab}}The Order has a reputation of being stodgy or boring, but not in L.A. Hermetic chantries have risen and fallen, but none were ever as grand as Ascension Lodge. Founded by Gregory Janus Temple, bani Fortunae, a student of Nonogram Society, his wife Majorie Prince, bani Xaos (formerly Thig), and Etherite Harold Montague, it had designs on being Councilβs premiere university chantry. Montague would leave after World War IIΒ taking with him one of Los Angeleβs most powerful Nodes. The stories say he won it off Temple in a card game are an old chestnut mages love to tell.

| {{Tab}}Ascension LodgeΒ was a center of learning, but no one would call it scholastic. In its heyday, the Lodge threw wild parties, public hosted sex-magic orgies, experimented with Hermetic magical theory in a variety of progressive (or questionable) ways, and were the enfant terribles of the local Council. Their rougeβs charm attracted them many followers of the Sleeper and Awakened variety. Their influence, while faded, can be seen in the abundance of occult countercultures the proliferated in the West Coast during the mid-twentieth century. They frustrated the Technocracy by enchanting Hollywoodβs elite, and sparking off a decades long cinematic fascination with the esoteric and the occult which Tinsletown has yet to entirely shake off.Β Their powers peaked during the counterculture years of the 1960s, but like that same counterculture, came crashing down in the 1970s. All that aforementioned partying had a point.Β Through a mix of public ritual and private experimentation the Lodge hoped to realize the idea Pymander by bringing about a new Aeon. All the ritualizing culminated in a particularly complex summoning of a powerful Praeceptor called the Conquering Child.Β The ritual was somehow botched or flawed, and Temple went mad and disappeared into the Umbra while the rest of the cabal fell into heavy Quiet or fled. He has yet to return, and local mages would very much like to account for his disappearance.

| {{Tab}}Ascension Lodgeβs original mission was quixotic to say the last. They wanted to create a kind of monastic space wherein mages could train their Wills with out the distractions of the βbase material worldβ. This would allow them to be prepared to lead humanity when the Councilβs dream was finally realized. While the stated mission hasnβt changed per se, Ascension Lodge has long neglected this mission.Β Marjorie Prince AKA the Red Woman, was censured by the Order for her role in the summoning, and remains a scandalous yet appealing figure within the Order. By the 1990s, neither she nor the Lodge were in a position to make a show of force, and the Conquering Child never did appear. Ascension closed its curtains to wait out the Storm.
