Fraa Spelikon

First Appearance and Context

Spelikon is first observed within the Regulant court at the Mynster of the Concent of Saunt Edhar, acting as head of a three‑person panel examining an avout on assigned chapters of the Book. The setting and procedure emphasize a formal, hierarch‑led review within the concent’s disciplinary framework.

Roles, Actions, and Affiliations

• Headed an examination panel that reviewed a mid‑range Book assignment and determined the avout had completed the required work; read the formal release that ended the penance and wrote a pass allowing the avout to remain in the Regulant court until the dinner hour.
• Led a recorded inquiry with Fraa Erasmas in Saunt Zenla’s chalk hall, accompanied by a younger hierarch recorder (Rotha). He referenced seized documents—Erasmas’s personal journal and a transcript of an interview with Artisan Quin—and framed the session as clarification and confirmation. Topics included device capabilities and details of a prior dialog concerning Fraa Orolo.
• Demonstrated formal procedure: announced date and time, had the recorder take shorthand, paused the session at times, and verified details against the Chronicle; coordinated follow‑on interviews with Fraa Branch and Fraa Ostabon.
• As the inquiry into Orolo intensified, an Ita technician, Sammann, was observed retrieving a tablet previously left in the M & M. Erasmas infers this was done under Spelikon’s direction.
• Known among avout for having been passed over for the office of Warden Regulant in favor of Suur Trestanas.
• Perception among peers: later, when rooftop access was restricted, Erasmas privately counted certain observational successes as a small victory over “those like Spelikon and Trestanas” who had tried to control what the community knew and discussed.

Relationships

• Erasmas: Questioned him during a formal inquiry and cross‑checked seized documents; Erasmas’s subsequent private remarks cast Spelikon as an antagonist during this period.
• Orolo: A focus of Spelikon’s questions and subsequent investigative activity.
• Sammann: Ita observed acting during the inquiry; inferred to be following Spelikon’s direction.
• Suur Trestanas: Chosen as Warden Regulant over Spelikon; his examination work occurred during her tenure.
• Rotha: Served as recorder during the Saunt Zenla session.

Descriptions and Characteristics

• Age and bearing: a hierarch in his seventh decade, using spectacles during official proceedings.
• Demeanor in office: procedurally strict, thorough, and controlled; comfortable managing recorded interviews and deciding what is on or off the record.

Current Status and Location

Active as a hierarch within the concent; observed conducting formal examinations and leading a Regulant‑staff inquiry inside the Mynster.
