Fraa Corlandin

First appearance and context

Fraa Corlandin is first mentioned when Fid Erasmas remarks that most of his historical learning came from him, during a working conversation in the Refectory kitchen with Fraa Orolo. The discussion centers on how the maths respond to outside pressures and the legacy of past upheavals such as The Three Sacks.

Role and function

• Recalled as a primary teacher and source on history for Erasmas.
• His teaching is cited indirectly rather than shown on the page; no direct actions or dialogue of Corlandin are presented in this scene.

Relationships and references

• Student connection to Erasmas, who credits Corlandin with most of his historical instruction.
• Characterized indirectly through Orolo’s remarks, which suggest Corlandin may have framed the Sacks as, at least in part, the fault of the maths; this is presented as Orolo’s inference rather than a quoted statement.
