Saunt Elith

First Appearance and Context

Saunt Elith is first referenced in an entry of The Dictionary defining “liaison.” That entry notes that later in the Old Mathic Age a liaison between Saunt Per and Saunt Elith became famous when hoards of their love‑letters were unearthed after their deaths. It further records that shortly before the Rebirth several maths altered the Discipline to sanction the “Perelithian” liaison—defined there as a permanent liaison between one fraa and one suur. The same reference states that the Revised Book of Discipline adopted at the time of the Reconstitution described eight liaison types and sanctioned two, while the Second New Revised Book of Discipline later expanded the taxonomy and sanctioned additional types; orders or concents that deviate by sanctioning other types may face action by the Inquisition.

Roles/Actions and Affiliations

• Venerated within the mathic tradition as a Saunt mentioned in accounts of liaisons and Discipline practice.
• Cited as one half of the exemplar pairing for the “Perelithian” liaison (a permanent fraa–suur pairing), which is referenced when formal rules discuss sanctioned relationship types.

Relationships

• Saunt Per — partner in the celebrated liaison; their posthumously discovered love‑letters are said to have made the liaison famous.
