Edharian Order

First appearance and context

During a tightly packed lesson on iconographies in Saunt Grod's chalk hall, a fid reflects that he would rather "join the Edharians" and later worries that others think he is not fit to join "the Edharian order." This in-text usage clarifies that Edharians refers to a formal order one may join within the mathic world.

Earlier descriptions also use "Edharians" to denote a small working circle assisting Fraa Orolo in theorics, spending long days in chalk halls and leaving slates dense with equations and diagrams. Both usages coexist: the formal order name and an informal label for those aligned with Orolo's ongoing work.

Role and function

The Edharian Order is one of the recognized mathic orders. A fid's musing about "joining the Edharians" places it among the paths available when avout choose an order. Grandsuur-led instruction notes that Saeculars often fail to distinguish between the different orders, but within the math they are distinct.

Relationships and references

• Informal usage links Edharians to the circle around Fraa Orolo and his theorics.
• In contrast with other orders, such as the Order of the New Circle, Edharians are referenced as a separate option an avout might consider.

Characteristics

Earlier accounts characterize Edharians (in the informal sense) as plainspoken in conversation, favoring directness over polished pleasantries during working sessions. No uniform, dress, or rite specific to the order has been described.

Current status

Active as a formal order within the mathic community. Membership, admissions, and internal practices have not been detailed; a fid is shown considering joining. Informal use of the name continues to describe collaborators around Orolo's work.
