New Laundry

Overview

The New Laundry is a working utility building inside the Concent of Saunt Edhar. It is known among avout for ornate geometric tilework credited to Estemard, a former Edharian who later lived extramuros.

Notable Features

• Decorative tiling in a repertoire of simple geometric shapes, described as distinctive and extensive for a utilitarian space
• Association with a tiler’s craft practiced by Estemard, who produced tiles and glazes of the same styles seen here

Associations

• Estemard’s interest in classical tilings connects the laundry’s patterns to an ancient geometry problem, the Teglon, traditionally associated with the Temple of Orithena. Accounts characterize the laundry’s tilework as part of his avocation.
• Functionally part of Edhar’s day‑to‑day infrastructure; no specialized rites or offices are tied to the building in the account so far

Recent Activity

• While visiting Bly’s Butte, travelers observed a kiln area with thousands of tiles and shards in the same repertoire of shapes as those decorating the New Laundry, reinforcing the attribution of the work to Estemard at Edhar and to his craft at Bly’s Butte.

Status/Access

Active facility within Edhar; routine access appears limited to concent residents in the course of daily work. No special restrictions or public access are described.
