Forty Lesser Peregrins

First appearance and context

The Forty Lesser Peregrins are first named within a dictionary entry that profiles Kefedokhles, describing him as a fid from the Halls of Orithena who survived the eruption of Ecba and later became one of this cohort. The same entry later places him “on the Periklyne,” and distinguishes a “Peregrin” phase of his career.

Role and function

The text so far does not detail the group’s structure, practices, or purpose. It is presented as a defined set of forty “Lesser Peregrins,” with at least one known member (Kefedokhles). No officers, rites, or internal organization have been described.

Relationships and references

• Mentioned in direct connection with Kefedokhles.
• The term “Peregrin” is linguistically similar to the Peregrination, a historical migration noted elsewhere; the narrative has not yet established a formal relationship between these terms.

Current status

Only historical references have been given. Whether the Forty Lesser Peregrins endure as an active body, or exist solely as a term for a past cohort, has not been stated.
