Fraa Lio

First Appearance and Context

Fraa Lio is introduced among the Tenners at the Concent of Saunt Edhar as a peer of Fraa Erasmas, seen in communal settings around rites before and after the opening.

Affiliations and Relationships

• Member of the New Circle at Saunt Edhar; serves an internship in the Warden Fendant’s court.
• Works closely with Erasmas on practical follow‑ups to sky observations and on discreet logistics.
• Regular collaborator in discussions and tasks with Tulia, Arsibalt, and Tavener (“Barb”); during Peregrin departures Tenners are paired with Hundreders for language and travel assistance, and Lio participates in that arrangement.

Important Actions

• During public evenings of the opening, demonstrates non‑lethal skill by quickly disabling several unruly visitors; wardens caution him about brawling during the opening.
• Proposes and maintains a long‑running meadow “weed war,” recruiting help to document and manage the living re‑enactment.
• Locates a Praxic‑Age reference on exoatmospheric weapons and explains a nuclear‑pulse propulsion design for peers.
• Helps interpret early pinhole observations and argues for a reconnaissance‑to‑operations shift in the object’s orbits, grounding discussions in texts and measurements.
• Evoked during a late‑night Voco alongside close peers and instructed to travel incognito toward a designated Convox.
• At departure, changes into plain clothes; initially awkward in extramuros shoes while trying a few Vale‑Lore drills; helps steady Barb when he becomes agitated.
• Joins the Peregrin convoy: first assigned to a local driver’s mobe with Arsibalt and Hundreders; after a routing reshuffle, moves into Cord’s fetch in the detour group heading for Bly’s Butte before rejoining the route toward the Convox.

Descriptions and Characteristics

Solid, agile, and inventive; comfortable applying Vale‑Lore in practical situations and recognized by peers for strong proficiency. He favors an evidence‑first habit of mind—when he identifies a mechanism or pattern, he seeks a written source and breaks it into graspable parts. Early extramuros, he shows brief awkwardness adapting to ordinary shoes and clothing before settling into travel tasks.

Current Status/Location

Extramuros under Evocation, traveling within a small convoy. Lio rides in Cord’s fetch as part of a brief detour contingent before proceeding toward the Concent of Saunt Tredegarh.
