Fraa Paphlagon

First Appearance and Context

Fraa Paphlagon is first identified during a Voco ceremony in the Mynster at the Concent of Saunt Edhar, when the Primate calls him by name and chapter. The call explicitly names him as "of the Centenarian Chapter of the Order of Saunt Edhar." He answers in the set litany and stands alone before the chancel as the Hundreders sing a rare hymn of mourning and farewell.
