Hundreders

The Hundreders are a named cohort within the mathic world. They are described as avout whose communities observe Apert only once every hundred years, contributing to distinct traditions and terminology compared to avout on shorter cycles.

First mention and context

Hundreders are first brought up during a conversation in the New Library between Fraa Orolo, Fraa Erasmas, and an artisan from extramuros. While explaining why names for technologies change across cohorts, Fraa Orolo notes that avout “on the other side of the wall” who celebrate Apert once per century would know the same thing by yet another name. The artisan is portrayed as uninterested in talk of the Hundreders.

Characteristics and practices

• Observe a centennial cycle of Apert, opening their communities to the outside on a far longer interval than Decenarian avout.
• Described as living beyond another wall relative to the Decenarian community, implying a nearby but sequestered enclave.
• Their longer cycle suggests that everyday vocabulary and references may diverge notably from those used by shorter‑cycle avout.

Relationships and affiliations

• Part of the broader mathic world alongside other cohorts. Related groups referenced in the same discussion include the Millenarians.
• Mentioned by Fraa Orolo in a discussion attended by Fraa Erasmas, situating the Hundreders as a known internal group even if not directly encountered in the scene.

Status

As of the material available so far, the Hundreders have only been referenced indirectly; no members are named and no specific locations or leaders have been described.
