Bah. I'm not a tyrant. If anyone calls me one, I'll have Fig chop their head off.

Involvement

Jhessem is  Jaheira's adoptive daughter and lives in what is now Elerrathin's Home along with Jaheira's other children. Jhessem is a small child who speaks with the decorum of nobility. Jhessem and the others found a family tree of Jaheira which suggests that she may be royalty.

Idle banter

Jhessem will occassionally chat with  Jord:

• Jord

  Bootprints on the tabletop. You haven't been poking around the top shelves again - have you, Jhessem?

• Jhessem

  Of course not. Her diaries are off-limits.

• Jord

  And written in code too, I'm afraid.

• Jhessem

  I know. It's not a very good code.

• Jord

  Well, what are we reading now? More Alaundo?

• Jhessem

  No. I'm looking for any histories about this Absolute.

• Jord

  I wouldn't bother. It's a new god - unknowable and mysterious.

• Jhessem

  It's just another cult. And cults are common as muck.

• Jord

  Huh. 'So sayeth the wise Jhessem.'

• Jord

  Try that hand-bill on fungal poultices. We might be tending the injured here before long.

• Jhessem

  Perhaps you should brush up on the herb-lore yourself, Jord. Mother's vines are looking a little weedy.

• Jord

  Why are the quiet ones always the cruellest?

• Jhessem

  That reminds me. I'm working on our family tree - I've already placed Rion. You're next.

• Jord

  Hah. Well, I'm afraid you won't find us dangling from any of the same branches, sproutling.

• Jhessem

  So we'll graft on another. A druid should know how to do that, shouldn't he?

• Jord

  I... suppose he should, at that.
