Ganelial Crade

First Appearance and Context

Ganelial Crade is first seen when volunteers assemble vehicles to carry Evoked avout toward a wider gathering at the Concent of Saunt Tredegarh. A portion of the group plans a detour to Bly’s Butte, and Crade arrives in an open‑back fetch with a motorized tricycle occupying most of the bed, accompanied by a younger associate in the cab.

Affiliations and Relationships

  • Religious alignment (inferred): He presents much like a member of the Deolaters from a “counter‑Bazian” ark; this is an inference based on appearance and manner and is not directly verified. Mentions of the Bazian Church and the Warden of Heaven arise in nearby talk, but no explicit link is confirmed for Crade.
  • Caravan context: He interacts with Fraa Erasmas, who is organizing mixed groups of avout and drivers. Crade argues route leadership with another driver before plans are clarified.

Important Actions

  • Announces that he knows the location of Bly’s Butte and proposes that the caravan follow his vehicle.
  • Engages in a public dispute with a local driver over who should lead; after Erasmas sets a navigation plan, Crade departs first in his fetch with his associate.
  • By departure, he is part of the Bly’s Butte detour contingent, traveling ahead of the others.

Descriptions and Characteristics

  • Age and build: Described as in his fourth decade but easily taken for younger, being slender and without facial hair.
  • Equipment and transport: Drives an open‑back fetch whose cargo bed is taken up by a fat‑tired motorized tricycle; the cab seats three.
  • Demeanor: Speaks confidently and assumes authority about the route; several avout decline to ride with him, suggesting unease about his stance or affiliations.

Current Status/Location

Traveling ahead of the detour contingent toward Bly’s Butte in his fetch, with his younger associate in the cab. His precise religious affiliation remains unconfirmed.

Summary:

An extramuros volunteer driver who joins the Evoked avout’s caravan; he asserts he knows the way to Bly’s Butte and departs ahead with a younger associate. Observers infer from his presentation that he belongs to a counter‑Bazian Deolater ark, though specific affiliation (e.g., Warden of Heaven) is not confirmed.
