Saunt Edhar

First Appearance and Context

Saunt Edhar is mentioned in connection with the workings of the Concent of Saunt Edhar during a Decennial Apert. A teacher cites him as an example when describing the concent’s distinctive approach to practical engineering, noting that “Saunt Edhar’s praxics” were considered a bit unconventional.

Roles/Actions and Affiliations

• Namesake of the Concent of Saunt Edhar, a walled mathic community organized around a great clock and controlled gates.
• Associated in current discussion with “Edharian” praxics: practical, water‑driven mechanisms that route power from aqueducts and a raised pond through valves and wheels to operate the concent’s ceremonial gates and related works. The description is presented as an example of the praxic style linked to his name rather than as a first‑hand account of his own actions.

Relationships

• Eponymous relationship to the Concent of Saunt Edhar.
• Referenced by a history teacher (Fraa Corlandin) as a way of characterizing the concent’s engineering tradition.

Descriptions/Characteristics

• No physical description is provided. His praxics are characterized by others as inventive and somewhat unorthodox in the service of reliable timekeeping and gate control.

Current Status/Location

Not stated in the current account. He is treated as a historical figure honored in name by the Concent of Saunt Edhar.
