Fraa Landasher

Fraa Landasher serves as FAE (First Among Equals) of the community at Orithena, a cloister identified in accounts as part of the Lineage (ancient scholarly order). He is described as the third of three who questioned a visitor at the gate and later presides in a welcoming role at the Refectory, offering a formal toast.

Context and Role

• Landasher is presented as a leader within Orithena’s cloister, functioning as FAE (First Among Equals) and taking responsibility for protocol at the gates and hospitality within the cloister.
• Narrative speakers infer that Orithena is not a standard Cartasian math but rather the cloister of the Lineage; the community uses familiar mathic forms to deal with outsiders while remaining focused on excavation and study.

Actions

• After the visitor identifying himself as Fraa Erasmas of the Edharian chapter gains entry, Landasher formally welcomes him at a communal meal and toasts him.
• The next morning Landasher intercepts the guest after the sluice-baths and introduces Suur Spry, arranging an early guided descent into the exposed ruins before the day’s heat makes work unsafe.

Relationships and Affiliations

• Affiliated with Orithena and the Lineage (ancient scholarly order).
• Interacts with Fraa Erasmas, who has come seeking guidance related to Orolo.
• Familiar with visitors’ needs and site safety, coordinating with resident suurs and fraas to facilitate access to the dig.

Description and Demeanor

• Shown as procedural and welcoming: he handles introductions, schedules descent to the ruins at suitable hours, and ensures guests have guidance.

Current Status

• Resident leader at Orithena, active in overseeing access and visitor coordination as excavations continue.

Notes

• Specialized terms: FAE (first among equals), avout (cloistered scholar), Concent (walled mathic complex).
