Three Inviolates

First Appearance and Context

The phrase denotes the three Thousanders’ maths remembered for remaining unviolated during the Third Sack. At Saunt Edhar, a monument inside the Year Gate recounting that history names the trio as the Concent of Saunt Edhar, Saunt Rambalf’s math, and the Concent of Saunt Tredegarh.

Concept and Description

The Three Inviolates is a collective historical label rather than a formal organization. It groups three geographically separated Thousanders’ communities that, by received accounts, endured the Third Sack without being entered by attackers. The designation underscores the Thousanders’ isolation and endurance during that era and serves as a shorthand in mathic discourse for the most secure or sacrosanct maths.

Use in Current Discourse

Public images have recently shown notable maths illuminated from above by a grainy red light, and observers associated these with the Three Inviolates. As inferred by Fraa Jad (treated as conjecture), the grouping may have been selected to signal sites where the Sæcular Power sequestered nuclear waste; this interpretation is not established fact.

Current Status

The term continues to be used as historical shorthand and as a point of reference when notable maths are discussed together. Two of the named sites are currently active concents; details of Saunt Rambalf’s present-day math are not specified in current sources.
