Wieder Werzier, master mason

Wieder Werzier is the most influential mason in southern Erewhon. He was born into an active family of masons, who were originally of Zaryan stock (where the family was known as Verzir).

His technique is strongly rooted in the Erewhonais tradition, but is also influenced by Fellandish Hudian. As an architect of the Radiant style, his works exemplify the tendency to profuse ornamentation and the technical ostentation characteristic of the late Hudian style. He enjoys complicated vaults with hanging bosses and ribs rising free through space. He has originated the first real net vaults in Hellot.
