Involvement

Jord is  Jaheira's adoptive son. He lives in what is now Elerrathin's Home along with Jaheira's other children. Jaheira took Jord in as a ward when he was nine years old after a confrontation with a merchant. In her absence, Jord watched over Jaheira's plants, letting those in her study grow unimpeded.

Idle banter

• Rion

  Where's the boy got to, Jord?

• Jord

  The boy is upstairs. The girls were a little rough in their play earlier.

• Rion

  Chauntea's cheeks, I told them to give him space. That's two volunteers for dishes later, then.

• Rion

  Throw some cabbage on your list for the market, Jord.

• Jord

  You know I could just grow it myself. Even a lowly apprentice can manage that much.

• Rion

  I know you can, brother. Just being careful - don't want the young ones going all weird from eating mystical greens.

• Jord

  What do you mean, 'weird'?

• Rion

  Well. Fig.

• Jord

  Ah. Fig. Yeah, fair enough.

• Jord

  Telk says they shut the Church of Last Hope down.

• Rion

  And how did Telk see that, through the bottom of her drinking mug?

• Jord

  She was stone cold sober. Heard it from Mother Aramina herself - the Steel Watch said they were only 'encouraging the refugees into an unlawful gathering'.

• Rion

  Aye. A warm meal and a scrap of rags to sleep on must be very encouraging. Well, the mother knows -

• Jord

  That we have space to spare if she needs it. Aye, I passed it on.
