Concent of Saunt Edhar

Overview

The Concent of Saunt Edhar is a walled mathic community named for Saunt Edhar, sited near a burgers’ town and notable for its crag‑top Millenarian Math linked to the hall by a covered stair. It served as a starting point for departures after a large Voco, with Evoked avout directed to assemble at a Convox hosted by Saunt Tredegarh.

Notable Features

  • Millenarian crag and stair: The Thousanders’ compact complex stands on its own crag east of the main hall, connected by a long, covered, hand‑carved stair.
  • Gates and precincts: A Day Gate faces a plaza spanned by a straight causeway between twin fountains; within the walls, the narthex houses an orrery, and the Year Gate precinct contains the wedge‑shaped tumulus (“Flying Wedge”).
  • Subterranean waste cavern (resident account): A cavern in the rock is said to hold cylinders of nuclear waste placed by the Sæcular Power near the Reconstitution. Edharian Thousanders maintain thatched coverings above the cylinders to prevent condensate drips and stalagmite formation; the craft is described as a thatcher’s avocation maintained across generations.
  • New Laundry tilework: A facility within the concent known as the New Laundry is decorated with intricate geometric tilework attributed to Estemard before he left the math; the patterns reflect his long‑running tiling avocation.

Associations

  • Namesake and orders: Named for Saunt Edhar; locally, the Thousanders inhabit the crag‑top community.
  • Historical standing: Remembered with Rambalf and Tredegarh among the “Three Inviolates” associated with the Third Sack.
  • Edharian projects: A spinoff math on Ecba is conducting a long‑running excavation toward the Temple of Orithena; in conversation, this is described as Edharian‑led and connected to delegates from the Thousander math attending a Millennial Convox.

Recent Activity

  • Mass Evocation and travel: Following a large Voco, Evoked avout departed discreetly in small groups, converging toward the designated Convox.
  • Red beam from above: One evening the Millenarian crag was briefly illuminated by a narrow, ruby‑colored beam from overhead; smoke and steam raised at the crag made the beam’s path visible.

Status / Access

Active and occupied. The crag‑top community remains linked to the hall via the covered stair. The existence and upkeep of the waste cavern are presented as resident testimony from a Thousander familiar with its maintenance; no public access is described.

Summary:

A walled mathic concent named for Saunt Edhar at high northern latitude. By resident testimony it also houses a sealed cavern of nuclear waste placed there near the Reconstitution; recently many avout were Evoked toward a Convox at Saunt Tredegarh and the Millenarian crag was briefly lit by a narrow red beam from above.
