Farandar Orendalsson represents the farmers on the Red Cow Inner Ring but does not have the support of all of them. Many claim he is too interested in supporting the rebellion to concentrate on local affairs. Farandar has kept his position with loans and gifts, but Jarkorl Snow-Whiskers has many supporters who say the position should be
his. Kullina the Fat helps keep Farandar in power, because of his support for the rebel cause.
Youngest of three sons of Korlinalda the Holy, Farandar Orendalsson is the wealthiest farmer of the Osmanning family.
He gained his wealth by leading his kin to reclaim Eoric’s Stead from the ghosts of the blood feud that haunted it. The clan still tells stories of the many trials the Osmanning took to bring peace to the unquiet spirits of the village before they could settle there.
Farandar’s good looks and lively manner make him popular with the women of the clan. He often gains the support of the farmers through charming their wives.
Farandar’s ambition has soured his relationship with Broddi Strong-Kin. Farandar does not feel Broddi has shown sufficient support for the rebellion. He supports the Daughters of Mabodh of Mabodh and their quest to regain their birthright.
Farandar has two children by his wife Kareena Well-Fated.
