I imagine these are the sorts of summaries Roshim and friends might have received in their schooling

RHODOWYN

The tireless social architect, raising theory from the seed of initial concept to the full bloom of praxis, each new generation of thought expanding into its cosmos before collapsing, each leaping out of the ashes of its parent in an exhilarating golden spiral upwards, toward the Great Design, endpoint of vision, where there will be no more hunger, no more death, no more injustice, where humanity will unfold into its eternal glory, poised perfect and beautiful on the pinnacle of history

SODON

The strong do not suffer the world to move them, and the high general of Loraine took this to heart, carving out a ringed city for himself and his host, and when the hot wrath of heaven fell upon the earth, all flocked to the bulwark of Loraine, shuddering as the stars dashed their impotent ire against the iron walls, for not even heaven could raze what Sodon braced

LAURIENTUS

Casting aside his silver-flamed sword, he took up the words of men, and out of language he tempered weapons so fierce that no opposition could stand unmoved, crushing kings and kingdoms, raising army and empire, the spearhead of the fallen host on earth, the mighty orator coaxing harmony from discord, rejoining the riven, healing the broken, giving hope to the hopeless, laying common course towards a future gleaming with bright possibility

ASTHEOPITHICUS

With his left hand he divided the firmament, with his right hand he divided the land, instilling order and peace through his blessed sanctuary, protector of the weak, cultivator of strength, the benevolent law-maker, the father of names, augur of compassionate justice on earth

OIDECALLA

The earth is a bounty, and it shares itself gracefully, and the sage saw this and knew to steward the earth, and its people, for indeed it grew and hungered for knowledge, reaching toward heaven, unbidden and unrestrained by reason, so that the glory of gold gleams untarnished, the eternal sunshine of the spotless mind

I really enjoy the lore and world-building! My question though - and with no offense intended - is why there are no women included in this pantheon of archmasons?

Good question! Lore reason is that these are angels without fixed sex or gender, but represented here as patriarchs. Also I’m a gay man who likes drawing men, so if there’s a character design that’s going to appear a lot in a comic, it’s usually going to be a man

Such evocative and poetic descriptions you give us here! I especially liked the one for Laurientus as 'mighty orator'.
