A House of royal retainers ever at the King of Lucis’ side, House Scientia is trained in a number of duties and activities that are specifically to aid the Crown as Hand of the King. Some of the most knowledgeable of the noble families, members of House Scientia are educated on a number of things from a young age all in order to prepare them for their role. The extent of these things range from cooking, to becoming polyglots, to even subterfuge tactics to name a few.

In their understanding, learning, and application of their knowledge, House Scientia perhaps rivals that of House Viridis in terms of magical capabilities. Over generations, it has never been uncommon for the Hand of the King to show great mastery over the manipulation of elements as well as the precision of their elemancy when concocting flasks for later use. These skills have been especially useful in their martial ability.

In an unfortunate raid, House Scientia lost one of its Hands of the King, leaving the House under the care of the next in line: Silex Scientia. With Silex's guidance, however, the future Hand of the King, Ignis Scientia, has shown promising potential and understanding of what is expected of him. Already, he serves as Prince Noctis’ attendant, showing unwavering service and loyalty to him

The crest of House Scientia are two hands and a crown. One hand beneath the crown to support, and one above to show reverence. It has ever been a point of pride the lengths of which House Scientia will go through in order to service the Crown, of which their crest symbolizes wholly.

Il y a en nous des semences de science (semina scientiae), comme en un silex des semences de feu ; les philosophes les extraient par raison ; les poètes les arrachent par imagination : elles brillent alors davantage.
