Re: The Southern Jewel - The Kingdom of Cetha

Soon enough, Triss'vyr is joined by faces familiar to the poorer folk anf children of the city - Jhul'ae and Alaundoril have, it seems, not forgotten their promises.

Re: Prey? Hunter? Savior? A Twisted Game.

Jhul'ae remains within the shrine's inner rooms unless she absolutely can't help leaving, relying on others, notably Alaundoril, to see to her animals in her absence. She can be found getting reports, but never outside of the locked door save in an abject emergency.

Jhul'ae stays locked within the Shrine, seeing to the safety of those inside, the young, old, and infirm. She trusts in her mate and the guard, but wards the absolute hells out of the doors regardless, far too rotund now to be of any other use.
