Fraa Orolo

First Appearance and Context

Orolo is an avout at the Concent of Saunt Edhar, first noted engaging visitors and fids with question‑driven teaching and practical demonstrations. He is closely associated with rooftop observing at the Starhenge.

Roles and Affiliations

• Cosmographer in a Decenarian cohort linked locally with the Edharian Order.
• Mentor and organizer: he frames inquiries through questions, parcels work to students, and emphasizes direct observation rendered clearly into words.
• When rooftop access was sealed for a period, he continued inquiry by shifting practical work to ground level and distributing calculations to trusted helpers.

Important Actions

• Directed a praxic effort focused on the northern sky and related orbital‑mechanics questions; peers connect these activities with attention to solar behavior.
• Drew scrutiny from hierarchs after pursuing observations while roof access was restricted; his work and the restrictions became a point of tension within the concent.

Relationships

• Mentor to Fraa Erasmas, whom he challenges with Socratic dialogue and occasionally involves in sensitive observational tasks.
• Regular (sometimes tense) interactions with the Regulant staff concerning Discipline and access to instruments.

Descriptions/Characteristics

Deliberate, exacting, and Socratic in approach. He favors firsthand observation, concise aphorisms, and arguments that distinguish speculation from what has actually been seen and recorded.

Current Status/Location

Expelled by the aut of Anathem and last seen departing by the Day Gate; present whereabouts are unknown. During a later rite of Voco at Saunt Edhar, a sealed list naming multiple avout included one noted as “no longer among us,” widely understood by those present to refer to Orolo, confirming he was not intramuros for Evocation.
