Saunt Edhar

First Appearance and Context

Saunt Edhar is referenced in connection with the workings and traditions of the Concent of Saunt Edhar during public openings, and as a touchstone for the concent’s approach to practical engineering. A teacher cites him in describing the site’s distinctive praxics, noting that “Saunt Edhar’s praxics” were sometimes viewed as unconventional.

Roles/Actions and Affiliations

• Namesake of the Concent of Saunt Edhar, a walled mathic community centered on the Mynster and its clock.
• Namesake of the Edharian Order. In the present era, the Thousanders on the crag are described as belonging to this order; within mathic lore, Edharians are said to trace their lineage to Saunt Halikaarn, and folk tales sometimes place them on the “Incanter” side of old stories (with that association presented cautiously and as rumor).
• After the Reconstitution, early members of the Edharian Order at this site reshaped the crag and valley into the present concent—quarrying sound stone for walls and halls and establishing a crag‑top math for the Thousanders.

Relationships

• Eponymous to the Concent of Saunt Edhar and to the Edharian Order.
• Connected by tradition to Saunt Halikaarn through the order’s stated lineage.

Descriptions/Characteristics

• No physical description is provided. Edhar’s name is used to characterize a praxic style—ingenious, serviceable mechanisms in support of timekeeping and gate control—occasionally described as unorthodox by later teachers.

Current Status/Location

Not stated. He is treated as a historical figure honored by the concent and the order that bear his name.
