Ferman Beller

Overview

Ferman Beller is an extramuros driver and helper aligned with the Bazian Church. He assists an avout group leaving the Concent of Saunt Edhar, coordinating with Fraa Erasmas to move a mixed party toward Bly's Butte. He presents as cooperative and practical, providing route advice and local contacts.

Appearance and Traits

Stocky and middle‑aged, Beller comes across as friendly, patient, and pragmatic. He speaks Fluccish comfortably, keeps a small religious token hanging from his mobe’s controls, and shows a genial, uncle‑like manner when discussing belief. His road sense is matter‑of‑fact (e.g., warning about “new gravel” and broken pavement).

Roles and Actions

• Drives a large off‑road mobe carrying Erasmas, Arsibalt, Sammann, and others in a two‑vehicle caravan. He contributes local knowledge, cautions that new‑gravel roads will slow progress, and suggests stopping before dark rather than pressing into rough country at night.
• Proposes and arranges lodging with a Bazian retreat on a nearby mountain, confirming that women are accommodated at the camp while monks remain cloistered. He has attended retreats there and has sent his children during summers.
• Engages in extended dialogue about the Sconic Discipline with Arsibalt, asking direct questions about belief and listening to explanations about what topics are considered “out of bounds.”
• Reported by Sammann to be in contact with a Bazian installation on one of the mountains under consideration; details of that communication are not described.

Relationships

• Works closely with Fraa Erasmas on navigation and group decisions; defers to the avout plan while offering practical options such as the overnight at a Bazian camp.
• Holds a respectful, curious exchange with Arsibalt about metatheoric ideas and belief, pressing for clarity but keeping a good‑humored tone.
• Interacts with Sammann as part of the navigation/core discussion group in the mobe.

Current Status

Traveling with the avout contingent after an overnight at the Bazian retreat, descending from the mountain to continue the approach toward the region of isolated mountains associated with Bly’s Butte. His role remains driver and local facilitator within the mixed convoy.
