Mathic Age

First Appearance and Context

The term is used as a historical label in in‑world reference material, notably in an entry quoted from The Dictionary (4th Edition). There, a famous liaison is dated to the Old Mathic Age, while revisions to rules and practices are tied to turning points such as the Rebirth and the Reconstitution. The same entry also uses “late Praxic Age” as a period tag for a separate sense, showing how such age‑labels are applied.

Roles/Actions and Affiliations

“Mathic Age” functions as a periodization label for developments inside the Mathic World. In the cited material it frames how liaisons were understood and regulated under the Discipline, and it appears alongside mentions of enforcement by the Inquisition.
