Temple of Adrakhones

First Appearance and Context

While traveling extramuros after an Evocation, an elder Thousander, Fraa Jad, pauses by a storefront selling drawing tools and asks if it is a “Temple of Adrakhones.” His companion replies that the shop is merely praxic, not a theoric temple. The exchange occurs shortly after leaving the Concent of Saunt Edhar during preparations to journey toward a distant concent.

Description and Location

From these usages, a “Temple of Adrakhones” denotes a place aligned with the works and legacy of Adrakhones and with study of ideal geometries connected to the Hylaean Theoric World. The term is invoked as a theoric or sacred setting for geometry rather than a commercial shop; no specific geographic site is confirmed. In a public dialog at the Convox at Tredegarh concerning events at the excavated Temple of Orithena, a speaker argued that the Geometers—whose vessel displays a proof of the Adrakhonic Theorem—might naturally choose to “land on the Temple of Adrakhones.” This reinforces the phrase as a reverential label for geometry‑centered sancta; the text does not state that it names one particular building.

Structures and Features

• By context and connotation, such a temple would emphasize instruments or representations of geometric truth used in service of theorics rather than commerce.
• No architectural description, custodians, or rites are directly detailed under this name; extant mentions are analogical and rhetorical, not accounts of an actual visit to a site so named.

Relationships and Affiliations

• Namesake and tradition: Linked by name and theme to Adrakhones and to the theoric practice upheld within the Mathic World.
• Conceptual contrast: The remark that an office supply store is “praxic” frames the temple as belonging to theorics and the Hylaean Theoric World, not to practical trades.

Current Status

Referenced in speech by avout and used rhetorically in discussion of events at Orithena; no single, specifically identified site bearing this name has been confirmed.
