Fendant Gargoyles

First Appearance and Context

The Fendant Gargoyles are described as part of the upper works of the Mynster, where the tower’s roof and surrounding structures support an open walkway for the Warden Fendant’s sentinels within a Decenarian math.

Description and Role

These gargoyles perch at the outer ends of the closely spaced braces that uphold the sentinels’ walkway running the perimeter of the Mynster’s roof. As their name suggests, they are the outward-facing half of the gargoyles “keeping eternal vigil,” oriented toward the horizons beyond the math’s walls. They serve as matched counterparts to the inward‑facing group referred to as the Regulant gargoyles, which look down into the concent below under the purview of the Warden Regulant.

Relationships and Placement

The Fendant Gargoyles are architecturally paired with the Regulant gargoyles along the same ring of braces, together flanking the windows of the Warden Regulant’s quarters set into the wall beneath the walkway. All of these features are part of the Mynster complex central to a Decenarian math.

Current Status

Fixed architectural features of the Mynster, the Fendant Gargoyles remain in place along the outer edge of the roof’s walkway, facing outward and symbolically extending the Warden Fendant’s vigilance toward the world beyond the walls.
