Procians

First Appearance and Context

Procians are referenced in discussions of mathic Iconographies around Apert, where a hierarch warns that Saecular portrayals blur distinctions among orders and may sweep all groups together. In the same milieu, an entry for the Incanter cites a popular pairing of fictional “Rhetors” (said to be linked to Procians) with their supposed foes; the citation is attributed to The Dictionary (4th edition, A.R. 3000).

Visitors from extramuros who study under Procians are noted to go on to careers in law, communications, or politics.
