Definition

A Tenner is an avout belonging to the ten‑year mathic cohort, formally the Decenarians. At Saunt Edhar, Tenners assemble in the southwest quarter of the Mynster and reside in the Decenarian Math.

Context and Usage

• Terminology: singular “Tenner,” plural “Tenners.” In everyday speech it is used both neutrally and colloquially; it can emphasize junior status (e.g., “just a Tenner”) and can be applied retrospectively to a person’s earlier stage (“former life among the Tenners”).
• Cadence and duties: Tenners follow a ten‑year rhythm under the Discipline and take on routine work linked to the Mynster’s rites and clock.
• Contact and travel: In organized departures toward a Convox, hierarchs paired Tenners with Centenarians; Tenners often handle Fluccish and practical dealings in towns, and may take on day‑to‑day leads within a Peregrin group while preserving the Discipline.
• Openings and summons: During designated openings, limited and supervised exchange with the outside world takes place; members may be formally Evoked via the Voco aut to serve extramuros.
