Suur Asquin

Suur Asquin is the current Heritor of Avrachon's Dowment, effectively its owner in all but name. She resides at the house and serves as host for the Plurality of Worlds messal held there during the ongoing Convox.

First appearance and context

• Introduced at Avrachon’s Dowment as the host of the first Plurality of Worlds messal, she personally helped with preparations in the kitchen, working alongside her assigned servitor, Suur Tris.
• In conversation with a Sæcular guest addressed as “Madame Secretary,” she described the Dowment as a kind of museum of scientific instruments, implying that showing its collection can demonstrate the value of pure metatheorics to skeptics.

Role and actions

• Chairs and moderates the Plurality of Worlds messal, guiding etiquette (others follow her lead to begin eating) and keeping discussion on theme.
• Presses participants to connect their arguments to the messal’s purpose, asks clarifying questions, and recapitulates key points for the table.
• Summarizes a working understanding that the four Geometer groups appear to come from worldtracks with slightly different physical constants rather than using newmatter themselves, based on fresh results reported at the table.
• Acts as a social facilitator, smoothing tensions and noting practical distinctions between work done quietly in Lucub and results shared out of Laboratorium.
• Identified by Grandsuur Moyra as the person she had been pestering to get the messal launched, underscoring Asquin’s coordinating role in convening the dinner.
• Proposes that the Hylaean Theoric World be taken up in a later messal.
• In a tense exchange over the Third Sack, she challenged a Matarrhite guest’s claim of innocence with a pointed question and then stated what had become an open secret: that the Three Inviolates are nuclear waste repositories, likely protected by the Sæcular Power.
• Later, she posed the central question of why the visiting PAQD resemble Arbrans (“Why do they look like us?”), steering debate toward possible explanations and keeping attention on givens rather than speculation.
• She silences the room when needed with a magisterial throat‑clearing and prompts participants to be specific, e.g., asking Fraa Jad to unpack his remark about consciousness amplifying weak inter‑cosmic signals.
• During technical exchanges, she clarifies and restates points to keep the table aligned (for example, tying perceptions of cnoöns to the Hylaean Flow and asking others to “translate that into polycosmic language”).
• Before a subsequent session, she was persuaded to look the other way while temporary, information‑shielding alterations were made to her Dowment so the table could proceed without outside monitoring; she then resumed presiding as host.

Relationships and affiliations

• Heritor and resident of Avrachon’s Dowment, where she hosts the messal.
• Engages directly with Sæcular attendees, notably Ignetha Foral, and coordinates discussion among avout including Fraa Jad, Fraa Lodoghir, Fraa Paphlagon, and Suur Moyra.
