Orin
A traveller on the Creshers' road, and the quiet conscience of a cult that has forgotten how to question itself.
Orin is one of the caravan that takes Estaria in along the road — a Cresher by birth and habit, but never quite at peace with what that means. Where others of the cult move through their rituals without looking too closely, Orin looks. He is gentle, watchful, and burdened by a doubt he cannot put down.
Among a people who have built their lives around a terrible misunderstanding, he is the one who still feels the weight of it. That conscience does not make his road easier. It makes him the only one willing to pay for what the others would rather not see.
