Saunt Mithra

First Appearance and Context

Saunt Mithra is referenced through the co‑named telescope mounted on the Starhenge above the central tower at the Concent of Saunt Edhar. The instrument is prepared for scheduled observations; on a clearing evening a cosmographer reserved it, aimed it in advance, and readied a photomnemonic tablet. The paired telescopes are colloquially called “M & M.”

  • As reported by Sammann of the Ita, acting under instruction from a hierarch, he retrieved a photomnemonic tablet that Fraa Orolo had placed in the co‑named telescope shortly before rooftop access was closed by the Warden Regulant.
