Fraa Branch

First Appearance and Context

Fraa Branch is part of the student cohort at the Concent of Saunt Edhar. He is first noted during a tightly packed chalk‑hall review on the iconographies led by Grandsuur Tamura shortly before Apert, when permissions to go extramuros were being considered. During the discussion, when asked to rate the danger posed by the Doxan iconography, Branch answered that he would put it very low, remarking that it reflected the situation they were already living in.
