Reformed Old Faanians

The Reformed Old Faanians are referenced by avout as a recognized order within the maths and are frequently paired in mention with the Order of the New Circle. At the Concent of Saunt Edhar, the name is familiar in everyday talk and the order is present through a local chapter that has taken part in public moments such as the Tenth Night Supper.

First Appearance and Context

The order is invoked in teaching and conversation alongside other well‑known currents within the mathic world. Locally at Saunt Edhar, it is treated as part of the standing mix of orders that avout consider when weighing their paths.

Roles/Actions and Affiliations

• Functions as an order that recruits Tenners during Eliger. At Saunt Edhar, a local chapter represents the order; see the Reformed Old Faanite Chapter.
• Community duties are shared: on at least one recent evening, it was the Reformed Old Faanians’ night to serve the Refectory supper.
• In the vicinity of the concent, the ruined site known as Shuf’s Dowment has been used by the Reformed Old Faanians as a retreat; when no one objected, they gradually made themselves more comfortable there.
• Members skilled in woodworking—the ROF carpenters, described as cabinet‑makers among the avout—have fitted interior spaces with wooden floors and paneled walls.
• Per local remarks, the order has long been considered diminished at this concent; however, during the current post‑opening period, several Tenners chose it.

Relationships

• Often juxtaposed with the Order of the New Circle in instruction and in public observances, reflecting counterpart roles in the concent’s discourse and recruitment.
• Supported a project undertaken by Fraa Arsibalt; the exchange that mentions this also jokes about a “First Among Equals,” implying a chapter‑level structure, though specific leadership is not confirmed.

Descriptions/Characteristics

No explicit doctrine, insignia, or distinctive garb has been described. The “reformed” name implies a connection to earlier Faanite lines, but the narrative has not detailed how they differ. In conversation, some members are said to believe in God, and the abbreviation “ROF” is used in casual speech.

Current Status/Location

Active and present at the Concent of Saunt Edhar through a local chapter, with recent Eliger bells bringing multiple new joiners. Specific membership figures or leadership have not been stated.
