The Outer Estates is the region immediately beyond the Elendel suburbs.[1] It is a broad ring of orchards, fields and pastures that feed the city;[1] this flora dwindles as one approaches the suburbs.[2]
Wax found the quiet, peaceful atmosphere of the Outer Estates to be odd and boring, to the point that it made him somewhat uncomfortable and anxious when they went there to examine the site of the most recent Vanishers attack on train cars.[3]
According to Lord Harms, his illegitimate daughter Marasi Colms had spent most of her life living in the Outer Estates[4] before coming to the city to attend university.[5]
When Wayne disguises himself as a House Tekiel guard so that Wax can sneak into the Breaknaught, he pretends to have spent most of his time in the Outer Estates serving a Lord Evenstrom Tekiel.[6]
The Outer Estates are also where Edwarn and Telsin Ladrian faked their deaths to work with the Set; the story that made it to the public was that their horse bolted while were taking a carriage ride and the carriage went over a cliff.[7][8] Presumably, such an accident did actually occur and was responsible for the death of their other family members, but Edwarn and Telsin managed to survive.
