Saunt Patagar’s Assertion

Saunt Patagar’s Assertion is a named claim attributed to Saunt Patagar. It holds that the Sæcular Power leverages public fear of the Terrible Events together with the legend of the Incanter to keep the avout compliant.

First appearance and context

Within mathic conversation, the Assertion is invoked as a frame for debates about authority, surveillance, and control. At the Concent of Saunt Edhar, an avout refers to it while discussing whether the Ita understand surveillance and strategically manage what they report upward. The reference is used to support the view that those outside the orders may shape narratives—or withhold details—in ways that influence how the maths are governed.

Usage and interpretation

• Function: Serves as a rhetorical touchstone when avout weigh claims about outside influence on the maths, especially where fear, legend, or information asymmetry may be at play.
• Scope: The Assertion addresses patterns of control; it does not name specific individuals or prove coordinated intent. Avout treat it as a cautionary perspective rather than as doctrine.

Current status

Actively cited in discussion within the maths when questions arise about how extramuros authorities and intermediaries handle information relevant to the orders. No formal counter‑proposition has been recorded alongside it in the material available so far.
