Magisteria

Not to be confused with Magistrate, a judging figure in Kelx belief.

The Magisteria refers to the pair of authorities commonly recognized on Arbre: the Sæcular Power and the Mathic World. In current accounts, speakers use “the Magisteria” to treat these two as a single joint bloc when coordinated action or representation is meant.

First Mention and Context

The term is used after the dispersal into the Antiswarm to describe the Sæcular and mathic spheres acting together. In the wake of the crisis around the visitors’ ship Daban Urnud, reports describe negotiations involving multiple parties in which the Magisteria is one of the represented sides alongside groups such as the Pedestal and the Fulcrum.

Composition and Usage

• Components: the worldly Sæcular Power and the intra‑walls Mathic World (at present operating through the Antiswarm).
• Collective reference: “Magisteria” functions as a plural label that is often treated as a single counterpart when speaking of joint decisions or talks.

Roles in Ongoing Events

• Representation: Accounts describe a shipboard delegation associated with this joint bloc, present for talks aboard Daban Urnud and providing medical staff and supplies. Specific rosters and titles are not enumerated in current sources.
• Coordination: Participants characterize this arrangement as a practical way for the two spheres to act together during the present emergency, with the understanding that such structures may evolve.

Status

Active and represented in negotiations concerning the visitors; described in‑world as a provisional joint arrangement linking the Sæcular and mathic spheres.
