Suur Karvall

Suur Karvall is an avout seen working as a servitor at Avrachon's Dowment during the themed Plurality of Worlds messal held as part of the Convox. She arrives from the garden carrying mixed greens and, once indoors, sweeps back her bolt to reveal her smooth shaved head—typical of avout.

Relationships and Role

• Doyn: Grandsuur Moyra (Karvall’s assigned doyn at the table).
• Works under the hospitality of Suur Asquin, the Heritor of the dowment.
• Kitchen colleague: Suur Tris.
• Assists with on‑table exposition: when discussion turns technical, she and Tris help remove a tapestry to expose a slate so that Fraa Arsibalt can chalk diagrams during an exposition guided by Fraa Paphlagon.
• Cooperates in discreet preparations to isolate the messallan from outside monitoring; with Suur Asquin’s tacit tolerance she works alongside fellow servitors and allies to ready temporary, grounded‑mesh alterations to the house ahead of a sensitive sitting.

Actions and Demeanor

• Enforces messal decorum among servitors, gesturing for silence to listen to the discussion and shushing kitchen chatter when dialog becomes significant.
• Helps with meal service and preparation, including bringing in greens and attending to timing signals from the messallan.
• During a back‑and‑forth in the kitchen about the Convox’s “political” outcomes, she asks a tentative clarifying question and, with dry humor, remarks “How funny!” before returning to work.
• Joins quick turn‑around service between kitchen and messallan, clearing plates and responding promptly to bells and cues; when needed, pitches in on room changes (taking down hangings, fetching chalk) to keep the dialog moving.
• At a prearranged signal, pulls aside a tapestry to reveal that grounded wire mesh lines the wall and floor, confirming the room is informationally shielded before a frank exchange.
• In a quiet moment in the kitchen, offers measured praise to Fraa Erasmas for his contribution at table and repeats Grandsuur Moyra’s view that the group is beginning to produce new ideas.

Characteristics

• Reserved and formal compared with other servitors; others describe feeling less at ease around her.
• Uses precise, economical gestures (a bony, translucent hand raised for quiet).
• Wears a black bolt with intricate lashings that draw notice.
• Identified as a Hundreder.

Current Status

• Active as a servitor at Avrachon’s Dowment during the Convox.
