Mother Jess

Mother Jess is the senior priest of the Church of Navere, based in King Richard's Lands (Red), and is widely regarded as the highest-ranking Navere authority the party might consult; Sub‑minister Kav explicitly lists her as one of the two appropriate contacts for an official report on Vidan. She was one of the three senior figures (alongside the Minister of Lions and Ritasi) who secretly helped design the Vidan/Nivad/Dinav plan and therefore holds both deep ecclesiastical authority and significant political influence within Imperial churchcraft. Quiet and careful with secrets, Mother Jess is positioned to intervene in high‑level matters involving Purple magic and the larger Breaker plots the party is unraveling, making her a natural focal point for delicate inquiries where priestly power, bureaucracy, and clandestine strategy intersect.
