From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Frenn is a fictional character in the fantasy novel trilogy The Echorium Sequence by Katherine Roberts and features in the first and second novels in the trilogy; Song Quest and Crystal Mask. In Song Quest, Frenn is a young novice singer in the final years of The Echorium whereas in Crystal Mask; the story carries on 20 years later, Frenn plays the part of an orderly (one that loses the ability to sing just before becoming a full Singer). He dies from a rockfall in Crystal Mask and therefore is not present in the third novel. According to Kherron, Renn; Rialle's son is related to Frenn who could be his father.
[edit] Character introduction
At the start of the trilogy, Frenn is a novice at The Echorium who is friends with Rialle and Chissar (both in his class). Frenn frequently defends Rialle from Kherron who tries to make fun of her whenever possible. He is one of the major characters in Song Quest and gets himself stuck on a Singer ship bound for the mainland. He is the only survivor of the rockfall at the Karchlord stronghold.
Carrying on into Crystal Mask, Frenn plays a small part within the story; he travels with the Singer group which is focused on finding Frazhin and Shaiala. He dies from a rockfall at the Pass of Silence when Renn shouts a warning to the other Singers and orderlies that enemies were approaching which caused a rockfall due to the shear noise that he made. It is believed Frenn was the father of Renn as Rialle and Frenn had a close relationship in Song Quest.
