Abbot Lorimis
Note: Lorimis has died, sometime in the year 2016. He was succeeded by Abbot Benar.
Lorimis is a shared character. Members of the Order of Redwall (the actual order not just residents or players or readers of this group) can request Otter set the password for them to use Lorimis as needed.
In general, the Abbot is like a CEO/President. So, unless you need the abbot for something important (a TP or a desire to hold a formal celebration or ceremony) it's often easier to simply refer to him in the third person. Think about it: when the boss walks in, people tend to be reserved.
By the same means, feel free to spoof the Abbot for minor things (passing through the Great Hall, whatever).
To keep him consistent, or somewhat consistent, please post comments to this page when he's used as a basic "quick report" of what he was doing. Consider this page the Abbot Gossip Page.
For quick reference:
- Lorimis is not "ancient" as Nicodemus, assume around 50 in human years (which is the peak of an executive's working life)
- He spent the last bunch of years traveling the world as a Redwall Healer
- He plays the lute (he's good enough he'd make a living as a minstrel, but not good enough he'd compete with the best)
- He fixes lutes (luthier) but he's not good enough to do that for a living
- He is left handed
He was chosen by Nic and approved by the elders because he's the oldest experienced healer familiar intimately with the outside world. He's had a crash course in "Abbotship" because Nicodemus was dreaming of being removed by sword (which was true but not what was expected). As such, he didn't have years of grooming and didn't expect to return to such a position.
How this all ends up of course is up to YOU the players, so record below summary (not logs, just a brief paragraph) of what he does in your control and we'll all see what happens.
Otter, Chief Wizard
Nicodemus, Retired Abbot
