Moshianic

First Appearance and Context

The term is invoked by an avout observer while imagining the kinds of crowds that could be waiting beyond the gates during Apert. In that moment it is used to denote pilgrims who might arrive expecting to see the face of a god or to witness a revelation.

Roles/Actions and Affiliations

Moshianic is used adjectivally for religiously motivated outsiders, especially pilgrims, whose expectations center on the maths and their gates. In mathic teaching it is linked to the Moshianic Iconography, a belief pattern that predicts the Avout will emerge to enlighten the world. When such expectations build, they can help draw larger crowds to gate openings.

Relationships

• Closely related to the Moshianic Iconography as a popular pattern of outsider belief about the avout and their gates.
• Contrasts with neutral spectators or casual visitors who come to observe without strong religious expectations.

Descriptions/Characteristics

• Used as an adjective (e.g., "Moshianic pilgrims").
• Connotes piety and heightened expectation rather than a formal mathic order or office.

Current Status/Location

At the present opening of the gates, the label appears in an avout's reflection on possible onlookers beyond the walls. While onlookers and activists are present, the text does not establish whether specifically Moshianic pilgrims are among them at that moment.
