Mynster of Saunt Edhar

The Mynster of Saunt Edhar is a monumental building within the Concent of Saunt Edhar (walled monastic scholarly complex). It serves as a familiar landmark and scale reference among Edharians.

Context and first mention

While visiting Orithena, Fraa Erasmas—an avout from Saunt Edhar—compares the Orithena excavation pit to the Mynster, saying the pit could have swallowed it several times over. In the same breath he contrasts Orithena’s monument, excavated downward, with “our monument” built by piling stone on stone, implying the Mynster is a large, raised stone structure at Saunt Edhar.
