Rayzon Det

Rayzon Det is a term used by the Laterran emissary and linguist Jules Verne Durand to describe what the Command exists to do: make its way to new cosmi and carry out Advents.

First known usage and context

The term is introduced during preparations at the Caravansery of Elkhazg after the evacuation from Tredegarh, when the group discusses training and equipment for a mission intended to reach the Daban Urnud. In that setting, Jules explains that “to make its way to new cosmi and to carry out new Advents is the Rayzon Det of the Command,” using the phrase as a direct statement of purpose.

Meaning and implications

• Conveys the Command’s core mission: continued voyaging to other cosmi and conducting extended periods of contact known as Advents.
• Highlights the practical importance of linguistics during an Advent; Jules notes that almost nothing is more useful to the Command in such periods than a linguist.
