Hundreders

First Appearance and Context

At the Concent of Saunt Edhar, the Hundreders occupy the Centenarian Math adjacent to the Decenarian Math. In shared rites within the great hall, their processions and seating are associated with the south nave behind their screen.

Concept and Description

Hundreders (also called "Centenarians"; singular: "Hundreder" or "Centenarian") are the cohort whose portal opens on a hundred-year cycle. Their long cadence and relative seclusion shape how they are discussed inside the maths, and they are often contrasted with other cohorts by cycle length and outlook.

Use in Current Discourse

During a broad Evocation that led to a Convox, hierarchs paired Tenners with Hundreders for travel, since many Hundreders would need help speaking Fluccish and coping with the worldly realm while maintaining Discipline during Peregrin. Accounts from the organizing period note a range of reactions within the cohort—for example, some Centenarian suurs declined to heed an Ita who addressed the assembly, while others engaged through their assigned Tenners. These observations describe individual moments and should not be taken as universal traits of the cohort.

Recent discussions during the Convox identify specific avout by cohort: for example, Paphlagon is noted as a Hundreder from Edhar. Historical references also describe Fraa Clathrand as a Centenarian at Saunt Edhar who later became a Millenarian, a reminder that individual careers can span cohorts over time.

Related Concepts and Affiliations

  • Frequently contrasted with the Thousanders (Millenarians) in discussions of cycle and practice.
  • A slang expression, To Go Hundred, is a cautionary usage derived from historical incidents connected with a centennial opening; it carries a negative connotation about abandoning disciplined theorics.

Current Status

Active at Saunt Edhar and among those Evoked to travel in mixed groups toward the Concent of Saunt Tredegarh. Organization emphasizes small groups, inconspicuous dress, and Tenner–Hundreder pairing to preserve the Discipline while traveling.

Summary:

The Hundreders (also called Centenarians) are a mathic cohort whose gate opens only once each century. At the Concent of Saunt Edhar they maintain a distinct community and are associated with the south nave of the Mynster.
