Reconstitution

First Appearance and Context

The Reconstitution is referenced in liturgy and teaching within the Mynster, including at Provener when the community contrasts practices “before the Reconstitution” with those that follow inside the Concent.

Roles/Actions and Affiliations

• Marks a threshold after the Terrible Events, from which point core practices were re‑anchored around the great Clock and its rites within the Mynster.
• The revived form includes the performance of the Hylaean Anathem during Provener and the centering of observance on the mechanisms housed in the Praesidium.

Relationships

• Functions as the hinge between the Praxic Age and later practice; accounts often set earlier customs and language “before” it and modern usage “after.”
• Serves as a reference epoch for calendars used by avout and acknowledged extramuros, so narratives and records may date events relative to it.

Descriptions/Characteristics

• Treated as a historical divider and organizing label in instruction and ceremony.
• Reference works (such as The Dictionary) use it as a period boundary when dating language and senses; for example, one entry traces a slang term’s origin to “late Praxic Age and early Reconstitution,” showing how the label marks linguistic as well as liturgical shifts.

Current Status/Location
