Temple of Adrakhones

First Appearance and Context

While traveling extramuros after an Evocation, an elder Thousander, Fraa Jad, pauses by a storefront selling drawing tools and asks if it is a “Temple of Adrakhones.” His companion replies that the shop is merely praxic, not a theoric temple. The exchange occurs shortly after leaving the Concent of Saunt Edhar during preparations to journey toward a distant concent.

Description and Location

From this usage, a “Temple of Adrakhones” is presented as a place aligned with the works and legacy of Adrakhones and with study of ideal geometries connected to the Hylaean Theoric World. As inferred from the dialogue, the term denotes a theoric or sacred setting for geometry rather than a commercial shop; no specific geographic site is identified in the current account.

Structures and Features

• As inferred from context, such a temple would emphasize instruments or representations of geometric truth (e.g., protractors and drafting tools), but used in service of theorics rather than commerce.
• No architectural description, custodians, or rites are detailed; the one mention is analogical and does not confirm an actual visit to such a place.

Relationships and Affiliations

• Namesake and tradition: Linked by name and theme to Adrakhones and to the theoric practice upheld within the Mathic World.
• Conceptual contrast: The remark that an office supply store is “praxic” frames the temple as belonging to theorics and the Hylaean Theoric World, not to practical trades.

Current Status

Only referenced in speech; no confirmed, specific location has been encountered. The term may be used generically by avout to label a place that embodies devotion to geometry and theorics, but this remains an inference based on a single remark.
