History
The Alliance of the Eclipse was originally a House of scholarship, first and foremost. Opened by the Astronomers (later known as the Entropy Coalition), they were too busy with their research and teachings to be bothered with fighting and wars. They weren't so much a "House of Peace" as they were too involved in their studies and research to be concerned with the politics of the other Houses. In fact, Kal'Arakos was the first to swear to the Oath of Peace, some time later.
During The Dreamer Wars, the Alliance instituted the StarKnights to fight on their behalf, so that the Astronomers could keep to their work. With the addition of the StarKnights, the other members wanted to have a way to aid their fellow members, without actually engaging in battle. Between the desire for a peaceful, tranquil place to conduct their research, and the formation of the StarKnights, the other members wanted to help without engaging directly in battle.
The researchers worked with the Power Generator within the House to generate a field around themselves, so that they could either continue with their work, or aid their fellow Knights in battle without actually having to pick up arms. This generated field would allow the usage of any and all non-aggressive Arts, while not allowing any Art which would do harm to themselves or anyone else. The Astronomers found they were also able to use non-harmful Talismen, like Elemens, Alterors and Shields, with the generated field around them as well.
