Concent of the Lower Vrone

The Concent of the Lower Vrone is cited in current accounts of winemaking traditions as the mathic community whose Avout sequenced the “library grape” before the Second Sack. In the same discussion, a nearby rustic math at Upper Vrone Forest is credited with crafting Vrone oaks whose heartwood helps shape wine during aging, and casks from that tradition became prized in places such as the Concent of Saunt Edhar.

First Appearance and Context

Lower Vrone enters the narrative through an account of wine shared at a communal meal, where the “library grape” is described as a lineage whose genome encodes an archive of grape species and flavor-bearing snippets from many fruits and herbs. The text attributes this sequencing work to the avout of the Concent of the Lower Vrone prior to the Second Sack.

Roles/Actions and Affiliations

• Viticultural research: Known for sequencing the “library grape,” an engineered cultivar whose cells store extensive genetic libraries and select expressions based on subtle environmental cues.
• Regional collaboration: The account pairs Lower Vrone’s grape work with complementary woodcraft attributed to Upper Vrone Forest, whose Vrone oak casks influenced the character of wines aged in sympathetic spaces.

Relationships

• Upper Vrone Forest: Described as a rustic math a few miles up the valley; associated with the development of Vrone oak casks used for aging wine.
• Concent of Saunt Edhar: Casks informed by Vrone oak traditions were aged in settings like Edhar’s Refectory and Mynster, reflecting a wider adoption of Vrone-associated techniques.

Descriptions/Characteristics

• Location and setting: The name places the concent along the Vrone valley; current accounts do not describe its buildings or layout. Its mention is tied to work in viticulture and materials rather than architecture.

Current Status/Location

The narrative notes that during the Second Sack, specialists from Lower Vrone who truly understood the library grape were executed, with the result that much of their unique expertise was lost. The present condition of the concent itself has not been described.
