Reconstitution

First Appearance and Context

Within the Mynster, instruction and liturgy often contrast practices “before the Reconstitution” with those that follow. It also serves as the zero‑point epoch for A.R. dating in reference works and teaching displays.

Course of Events

• Following the Terrible Events, accounts group a set of reforms under the label “Reconstitution,” emphasizing a re‑centering of rites around the clock within the Mynster.
• The Revised Book of Discipline is presented as having been adopted at this time.
• As noted in current usage, the first Convox coincided with the Reconstitution; later Convoxes have been convened at notable milestones.
• By this point, habits later called the Sconic thought “Discipline” were already ingrained and were folded into mathic practice without much formal debate.
• Around this period, the Sæcular Power consolidated hazardous remnants (described as nuclear‑waste cylinders) into sealed caverns at select concents; testimony names the Concent of Saunt Edhar, Rambalf, and Tredegarh among the sites.

Relationships and Affiliations

• Functions as a hinge between earlier eras and later practice; avout commonly treat customs, terminology, and codices as either “before” or “after” it.
• Convox tradition: subsequent large assemblies have been held at millennial markers and other major moments (for example, the Big Nugget and at the end of each Sack), situating the Reconstitution as a precedent for such gatherings.
• Normative reference point: In current discourse the phrase “principles of the Reconstitution” is invoked alongside the Discipline when debating proper conduct. Some speakers frame concerns about certain Orders (for example, Edharians) in terms of whether devotion to abstract theorics might take precedence over those principles; these are presented as opinions and accusations within dialogue, not established facts.

Descriptions and Tone

• Treated as a historical divider and organizing label in instruction and ceremony rather than as a minutely chronicled incident.
• Reference usage favors concise era notation (e.g., “A.R. NNN”), and displays sometimes annotate older material as “before the Reconstitution.”
• Present‑day speakers sometimes describe rumored currents that are said to reach back earlier than the Reconstitution (even before figures such as Saunt Cartas), underscoring its status as a boundary in memory and tradition; such claims are preserved as reported speech and remain ambiguous.

Current Status

Active as a standard point of reference in liturgy, instruction, and dating. Specific causes, scope, and the full list of reforms associated with it remain unspecified in the material available to readers so far and should be treated as not yet established.
