Convox at Tredegarh

The Convox at Tredegarh is a Convox (rare mass-assembly) convened at the Concent of Saunt Tredegarh (walled mathic complex). It is referenced as the place to which Evoked (formally summoned) avout (mathic monastic members) are sent.

Context and first mentions

At Orithena, gatekeepers state that “one who has been Evoked, and despatched to Convox at Tredegarh, may not suddenly present himself at a different math (cloistered community).” This places the assembly at Tredegarh and characterizes it as current and binding on those summoned. In the same period, speakers group “the Convox” among other weighty concerns, underscoring its significance.

Role and function

• Serves as the assembly point receiving Evoked avout from across the mathic world, concentrated at Tredegarh.
• By gatekeeper testimony, individuals dispatched to this Convox are expected to travel there directly rather than divert to other maths.

Relationships and affiliations

• Hosted by the Concent of Saunt Tredegarh.
• Mentioned in connection with actions undertaken by Fraa Jad of the Concent of Saunt Edhar, who is cited as sending a messenger to seek Fraa Orolo while the Convox is a pressing concern. The text does not specify who exactly has been Evoked in this exchange.

Current status

Active; described as the destination for those Evoked to attend, with an expectation of direct travel to Tredegarh rather than appearances at other maths.

Notes

• Terminology: “Convox” is used both for the rare mass-assembly itself and informally for the host concent during such a gathering. “Tredegarh” here refers to the concent bearing that name.
