Ignetha Foral

First Appearance and Context

Ignetha Foral is identified in conversation among young avout as the person believed to be the “Important Fid” connected to Suur Aculoä. Details discussed come from mathic summaries of extramuros news and from Tulia’s inquiries. The discussion frames Foral as a recent focus of interest because of her governmental role, her stance toward the Warden of Heaven, and her connections to Baritoe and Unarian study.

Background and Affiliations

• Family and ties: Described as coming from a wealthy family that has been prominent for centuries and is well connected to the mathic world, particularly Baritoe.
• Mathic study: Spent six years in the Unarian math at Baritoe. Her training and later references associate her with the Unarians.

Government Role and the Warden of Heaven

Foral held an important post in the government—described as one of the dozen or so highest‑ranking positions. She took a public stand against the Warden of Heaven and was dismissed from office. The conversation treats this as the turning point that made her a notable figure in recent accounts.

Writings and Interests

Foral authored a treatise titled “Plurality of Worlds: a Comparative Study of Polycosmic Ideation among the Halikaarnians.” In avout discussion this is taken to indicate a serious engagement with polycosmic questions. Her background at Baritoe is noted in a context that describes that math as influenced by the Procians, who often train Sæculars who later work in law, politics, or commerce.

Connections and Reported Influence (as discussed by avout)

• Link to Suur Aculoä: Identified by peers as the “Important Fid” associated with Suur Aculoä; this is a working identification from avout conversation and not presented as established fact.
• Evocation speculation: Some suggest she retains enough influence to have prompted the Evocation of Fraa Paphlagon. This is presented as speculation by characters, not as a confirmed report.

Current Status

Following her dismissal from high office, her present position is not specified in the materials available to the avout. Peers speculate she continues to hold a role with significant influence; concrete details have not been received.

• Address and title: Among Sæcular colleagues she is addressed as “Madame Secretary.”
• Presence at Tredegarh: A Sæcular official named Emman Beldo states that Foral is his doyn and that she “wouldn’t miss” a meal at the Plurality of Worlds messal at Avrachon’s Dowment. This indicates her presence at the Concent of Saunt Tredegarh during the Convox and engagement with its proceedings.
