Suur Tris

Tris is a suur observed in the role of a servitor at the Plurality of Worlds messal hosted in Avrachon’s Dowment during the Convox at Tredegarh. At that table she attends the host Suur Asquin and works in the attached kitchen.

Appearance and Character

• Stocky build; described as plain in looks but lively and confident in manner, with the easy poise of someone raised in a math.
• Practical, brisk, and good‑humored; comfortable chivvying others along when service is lagging.
• Curious and forthright: asks plain questions about costs and governance around the Convox and readily absorbs concise explanations.

Noted Actions and Role

• Handles the kitchen fire with practiced care, bringing in firewood, managing coals, and keeping the oven at the correct heat after others struggle with it.
• Helps coordinate service timing (e.g., signaling when to bring out courses) and keeps the kitchen crew focused.
• Offers quick judgments on the discussion in the messallan: she defends Ignetha Foral’s opening gambit as a bid to motivate the doyns, and later quips about an “important detail” when a senior theor remarks on the nature of time, showing she tracks the conversation closely.
• In off‑table talk, she shows working knowledge of disciplinary customs, suggesting that a threatened punishment would likely be overturned by the Inquisition.
• Mentions finding a stack of books placed in her cell, part of a wider distribution attributed in‑scene to Grandsuur Moyra.
• While serving, deftly passes a heavy greasy platter to Fraa Arsibalt and later flicks a sponge at Emman Beldo during light‑hearted kitchen banter.
• Shows quick, practical opportunism by snatching the best scrub‑brush when another servitor is distracted.
• Engages directly with the Plurality of Worlds theme by asking whether there could be one‑to‑one correspondences between Saunts across different worlds.
• From the kitchen, follows the debate and tersely paraphrases a participant’s retreat from an earlier allegation about a ship diagram, cutting through hedging for the benefit of the staff.
• Raises a blunt question about why the Convox is expensive given that the house grows its own food; accepts an explanation that large collaborative efforts and outside oversight consume resources.
• Assists when the discussion shifts to diagrams, helping take down a tapestry and expose a slate wall for chalk work alongside Karvall and Arsibalt.
• When the exchange in the messallan turns taboo‑laden and tense, remarks that she is glad not to be in the room.
• Continues service while listening over the sound feed as the doyns move into light‑bubble tutorials and related explanations.

Relationships and Associations

• Serves Suur Asquin at the Plurality of Worlds messal.
• Interacts comfortably with fellow servitors including Arsibalt and Barb, and with Raz (Fraa Erasmas), offering kitchen guidance and commentary; works alongside Karvall during the same service.
• Follows the arguments of senior figures such as Ignetha Foral and Fraa Jad and reacts in real time from the kitchen; also interacts in‑scene with Grandsuur Moyra and Emman Beldo.
