Suur Spry

Suur Spry holds the title "suur" (female avout honorific) within the Orithena lineage (resident scholarly community). She is roughly contemporary with Fraa Erasmas (male avout honorific) and acts as both a gate interlocutor and a guide to the ruins at Orithena.

Context and First Contact

Spry is identified as the first voice to address visitors through the small bastion hatch, delivering the traditional entry vow in locally accented Fluccish (vernacular language). Later, after a welcome inside, Fraa Landasher reintroduces her and assigns her to guide Erasmas on an early descent before the day's heat.

Roles and Actions

• Leads the route down the spiraling ramp into the excavation, provides water and food, and points out notable features of the site.
• Indicates a full-body ash cast thought by tradition to depict Metekoranes, while noting this identification is speculative but consistent with legend.
• Notes that her forerunners recovered the original molds for the seven tile shapes used in the paving and confirms that demonstration tiles on the plaza are modern reproductions.
• Associates the patterning with the Teglon and teases Erasmas for tackling the hardest version first; suggests practical techniques (e.g., using sticks) and paces the visit to withdraw as heat builds.
• Later recalled by Erasmas when he returns to the dig with guests, underscoring her role in guiding his first descent.

Description

Spry is described as a young woman of similar age to Erasmas; competent, calm, and knowledgeable about the ruins. Her phrasing "we... I mean they" when speaking of earlier diggers suggests continuity with previous generations of the Lineage (multi-generational community).

Relationships and Affiliations

• Affiliation: The Orithena lineage (resident scholarly community maintaining the excavation).
• Works alongside Fraa Landasher; interacts directly with Fraa Erasmas during his visit in pursuit of Fraa Orolo.

Current Status

Active at Orithena as a guide and gate interlocutor; no additional personal details are stated.
