Fid Olph

First Seen

Fid Olph appears among a group of thirty‑two fids gathered in Saunt Grod’s chalk hall for a tightly packed discussion on iconographies led by Grandsuur Tamura. Classmates present include Suur Tulia and Suur Ala.

Actions and Role in the Discussion

When asked how to recognize someone influenced by the Temnestrian iconography, Olph suggests such people may be civil until abstract topics arise—especially matters traced to Hylaea—at which point they turn hostile. He initially rates the danger posed by this iconography as “10,” citing the fate of Thelenes, though Tamura later moderates the assessment after additional input from others. Later, after an explanation of the Rhetors iconography is given, Olph remarks that it “makes sense,” which provokes pushback from nearby suurs.

Peers and Interactions

Olph’s comments draw immediate reactions from fellow avout. One irritated suur jokes about which order he might join, while another, in a low but audible aside, wonders whether he is a Procian‑hater or merely socially inept. The exchange occurs amid contributions from peers such as Fraa Lio and Fraa Arsibalt, who help round out the discussion of several iconographies and their relative risks.

Status

By the end of the session, the fid cohort is granted permission to go extramuros during Apert. Olph remains an active member of this group; no separate duties or assignments for him are noted in the text.
