Wardens Regulant

First Appearance and Context

The Wardens Regulant are described during Apert at the Concent of Saunt Edhar as a routine, visible presence: avout say they see the Warden Regulant and her officers even when no one is in trouble. They are technically part of the Inquisition while reporting locally to the Primate. Their oversight is tied to maintaining consistent standards among concents—standards said to underwrite the validity of the Reconstitution.

Roles/Actions and Affiliations

• Within each concent, the office of the Warden Regulant enforces the Discipline, assigns penance, and maintains the inward‑facing watch over internal order.
• The Wardens Regulant and their officers are organized as a branch of the Inquisition and, in certain circumstances, have the authority to depose a Primate.
• Experienced Wardens Regulant are described as the typical pool from which traveling inspectors are promoted; these hierarchs move from concent to concent to examine practice and keep an eye on things.
• Subordination and counterparts: the office oversees the Master of the Keys and complements the outward‑facing remit of the Warden Fendant.

Relationships

• Reports locally to the Primate while belonging institutionally to the Inquisition.
• Supervises the Master of the Keys; counterpart to the Warden Fendant’s outward watch.
• At Saunt Edhar, the current holder of the office is Suur Trestanas (named elsewhere), serving as a concrete example of the role.

Descriptions/Characteristics

• Collectively an elite class of hierarchs known for administering penance and upholding internal order; the office’s inward‑watch is symbolized in architecture that looks down into the concent, complementing the outward watch of the Fendant.

Current Status/Location

Active and visible during Apert at Saunt Edhar. Traveling inspectors from the Inquisition are present during the same period; avout note that such inspectors are typically drawn from among Wardens Regulant who have been promoted to wider duties.
