Yorran Iconography

The Yorran Iconography is one of several recurring popular pictures that people outside the maths use to simplify the mathic world. In this frame, Avout—often lumped together as Theors—are imagined not as careful scholars but as dangerous experimenters.

First appearance and context

During a lesson in a chalk hall where elders reviewed well‑known iconographies with a group of fids, this iconography was summarized alongside others. The discussion emphasized why recognizing such patterns matters: knowing which iconography a given outsider carries helps anticipate their reactions to avout.

Origin

The Yorran Iconography traces to a Praxic Age entertainment serial—first an illustrated series and later adapted to moving pictures—centered on the character Yorr. The setting and production belong to the Praxic Age.

Characteristics and portrayal

• Yorr is identified as a theorician but behaves like a praxic, constantly tinkering and plotting.
• He is described as turned green from chemical work, with a tentacle sprouting from the back of his skull.
• His costume is a white laboratory smock.
• He is criminally insane and always pursuing a scheme to take over the world.

As a result, the iconography casts avout/theors as malevolent, unstable praxic figures rather than contemplative scholars.

Comparisons

• Like the Doxan iconography, it originates from Praxic Age entertainment; where Dox is a brilliant but emotionally limited second‑in‑command, Dox is treated as useful to worldly leaders. Yorr, by contrast, is a villain whose traits are projected onto the mathic world.
• In the same review that covered Yorr, another pattern (often called the Moshianic iconography) was judged more dangerous overall because it inflames public expectation and draws crowds, even though Yorr’s image is often assumed to be threatening.

Use and implications

Within the maths, iconographies like this are studied to forecast how outsiders might interpret encounters with avout. Recognizing when someone is influenced by the Yorran Iconography warns that they may assume praxic menace and conspiracy behind normal mathic activity.
