Baritoe

Baritoe is a prominent mathic institution counted among the Big Three. It comes up during discussion about who in the outside world had taken notice of Fraa Paphlagon’s writings. A teacher there, Suur Aculoä—described as a long‑serving member of the Unarians and affiliated with the Latter Evenedricians—has written two books engaging with Paphlagon’s metatheorics.

First Appearance and Context

Baritoe is first mentioned when avout consider possible readers of Paphlagon’s earlier treatises. In that exchange, Baritoe is identified as one of the “Big Three” maths, and Suur Aculoä at Baritoe is cited as an admirer of Paphlagon’s metatheoretical work.

Description and Characteristics

• Foundation and status: Presented as one of the Big Three and stated to have been founded in A.R. 0.
• Setting: Adjacent to landforms that make a large, excellent harbor when conditions permit (sea level, pack ice, and the state of a nearby river). For about a third of the time since the Reconstitution, a large city has existed outside Baritoe’s walls—though not always the same city—contributing to its reputation for being urban and worldly.

Affiliations and Role

• Teaching and orders: Hosts suurs, including Unarian educators; Suur Aculoä there is named as a Latter Evenedrician.
• Intellectual stance: Procians are powerful at Baritoe.
• Training for the Saeculum: In the Unarian math, many young Sæcular students are trained who later go into law, politics, and commerce.
• External ties: The Foral family is cited as an example of long‑standing connections between Baritoe and prominent Sæcular lineages. Ignetha Foral spent six years studying in the Unarian math at Baritoe and authored a comparative treatise relating Paphlagon’s work to earlier figures.

Associated Figures

• Suur Aculoä: A Unarian teacher at Baritoe and a Latter Evenedrician; credited with authoring two books engaging with Paphlagon’s work.
• Ignetha Foral (Sæcular): A high‑ranking extramuros figure with past study at Baritoe; noted for a treatise comparing Paphlagon’s work to predecessors.

Current Status/Location

Active and influential as one of the Big Three maths, with a coastal‑harbor setting that has repeatedly supported an extramuros city outside its walls.
