Saunt Edhar
First Appearance and Context
In this account, Edhar is encountered indirectly: avout speak of the concent founded in his name and of an “Edharian chapter” within both the Decenarian and Centenarian maths at that site.
Roles and Affiliations
- Namesake of the Concent of Saunt Edhar, a walled mathic community centered on the clock and tower of the Mynster.
- Namesake of the Edharian Order, an avout order active at the concent.
- Local usage: “Edharian” identifies chapters within the Decenarian and Centenarian maths.
Contextual Notes
- Geographic note: Among the world’s major concents (those with Millennium Clocks and large populations), the Concent of Saunt Edhar lies farthest from the equator at approximately 51.3 degrees north latitude; this position was cited by avout when discussing the ground track of a sky‑borne object.
Notable Mentions in Current Events
- During a formal Voco conducted in the Mynster, the Sæcular Power called multiple avout at once, including members identified with both the Decenarian and Centenarian Edharian chapters.
- Edharian chalk‑hall work: A local Edharian chapter hosted a Lucub where avout checked coordinate tables and prepared ground‑based telescopes for a planned observation of a visitor in orbit; the list explicitly noted Saunt Edhar’s latitude as “fifty‑one degrees and change.”

Summary:
A revered Saunt of the mathic tradition and namesake of both the Concent of Saunt Edhar and the Edharian Order. In current accounts he is referenced through the concent’s praxic tradition and by the order that bears his name, not through direct biography.
