Rebirth
First Appearance and Context
- Referenced in in‑world reference material as a historical delimiter. In the headword “Mystagogue,” the Late Middle Orth sense describes a suvin that dominated the maths until the Rebirth; later Orth treats “Mystagogue” as a pejorative.
- In the headword “Liaison,” the timeline notes that shortly before the Rebirth several maths altered the Discipline to sanction a particular liaison type; later codifications adopted at the time of Reconstitution and in a Second New Revised Book of Discipline expand and clarify which liaisons are sanctioned.
Roles/Actions and Affiliations
- Serves as a named boundary in mathic accounts and period labels, marking the end of the Mystagogue suvin’s influence and a shift in attitudes toward theorics and access to libraries.
- In rulemaking contexts, reference material frames liaison policy around this turning point: just before it, some maths permitted a specific liaison; at Reconstitution a Revised Book of Discipline enumerated eight types and sanctioned two; a later codification sanctions four and alludes to two others. Orders or concents that deviate by sanctioning additional types are said to be subject to action by the Inquisition.
Relationships
- Related event: Reconstitution, associated with adoption of a Revised Book of Discipline and the centering of practices around clock‑based rites.
- Appears alongside period labels such as Late Middle Orth and later when dating language and practices in the mathic world.
Descriptions/Characteristics
- A capitalized proper name for a turning point in the mathic timeline; no narrative depiction or specific date has been provided so far.
Current Status/Location
- Historical; used as a boundary marker in instruction and reference material. Specific causes and scope remain unspecified in the available accounts.
Summary:
