Moshianic Iconography

First Known Context

During a lesson inside the Cloister led by Grandsuur Tamura, the avout review several outsider "iconographies"—recurring ways Sæculars represent the mathic world. Among these, the Moshianic Iconography is singled out as the most dangerous, prompting focused discussion before Apert.

Description and Characteristics

The Moshianic is a hybrid of the Klevan and the Penthabrian iconographies. It holds that the avout will emerge from their gates to bring enlightenment to the world and usher in a new age. Interest in it tends to crest around the opening of rare gates—especially the Centenarian Gate and the millennial cycle’s Millenarian gates.

It is considered especially dangerous because it raises expectations to the point of delirium and draws large numbers of pilgrims and attention to the maths.

Relationships and Origins

• Described as a synthesis of the Klevan (wise elder-sage) and Penthabrian (guardians of hidden mystical power) patterns.
• Treated by the avout as one entry in a systematic catalog of outsider iconographies used to anticipate how Sæculars might react to them.

Current Status

Within the present narrative moment, it is described as ascendant in the guise of the so‑called Warden of Heaven. Awareness of this trend reaches the maths: the Warden Fendant asks Grandsuur Tamura to brief the fids, and Fraa Orolo is noted as a source of recent observations informing that discussion.

Practical Implications

• When prevalent, it can concentrate crowds near gates during openings and color interactions with Sæculars who expect revelations or world-changing proclamations.
• Avout treat it as a risk factor during periods surrounding Apert and rare gate openings, adjusting teaching and preparedness accordingly.
