Glass foundries of Sanctaphrax
- "Sadly, the original foundries had long since disappeared, taking most of their manufacturing secrets with them – though their legacy lived on in the various viaduct schools dedicated to glass-blowing."
- —The Winter Knights
The glass foundries of early Sanctaphrax were foundries in the early First Age of Flight. They supplied the crystal panels for Flux Cartius' Hall of High Cloud. The panes were individually cut, polished and etched with calibrations by which the properties of the clouds that passed overhead could be calculated.
By 15 ᴇ.ʏ., they had long disappeared, but their legacy lived on in the viaduct schools of glass-blowing. Their work, however, did not hold up to the work of the foundries, leading Quint to compare it to "the difference between homespun and spider-silk, between woodgrog and winesap – between the merely adequate and the absolutely outstanding".[1]
