Convox

Overview

Convox is a rare, named mass‑assembly and the designation for the host Concent when many avout are Evoked at once. It stands in contrast to Voco, where a person typically departs alone; during a Convox, avout travel together under Peregrin while preserving elements of the Discipline within their cohort.

Preceding Context

A Convox is declared pragmatically when a concent is named as the receiving site for Evoked groups—“it is now” marks the designation in use. It should not be confused with the Convocation, which is the formal preamble to a named rite.

What Happens

• The designated concent serves as rendezvous and staging point for the assembly.
• Travel norms emphasized in current speech include moving in small groups and avoiding conspicuous display of mathic garb, so the cohort can observe the spirit of the Discipline while abroad.
• Organization and terminology are used actively to coordinate departures and maintain order during the outward journey.

Current Status

The Concent of Saunt Tredegarh is described as functioning as a “giant Convox,” filling with avout arriving from many concents. Participants intend to present themselves there; some express concern about lateness and adherence to the Discipline. It is suggested within the narrative that hierarchs are tracking arrivals by origin.

History and Notes

Usage in current accounts treats Convox as rare. Assertions offered in dialogue name only a few across history: one at the Reconstitution, others at millennial markers for dictionary work and Thousanders’ business, one said to have been convened for the “Big Nugget,” and one at the end of each of the Three Sacks. These are usage notes rather than a complete chronology.
