Janes (NPC)

Janes is a fictional character and NPC in the World of Thera campaign setting.

Janes is a member of the Order of the Living Saint, a sect that reveres Davish and his prophecies. He holds some degree of rank within both the Order and the Church of Pallas in Duroy. Janes was trained since childhood in the Order and considers Davish a surrogate father. Puzzo claims Janes was a street kid in Joppah and that he cleaned the Angry Elf Inn for food and a place to sleep.

Janes was sent at Davish's behest to collect Adelaide, Gruda, Kaylin, Monika Brightwind, and Valeni Mal'Otor from a jail cell in Vidaliya. He and Ceiselyn met the curious group and described them as the Five. While Ceiselyn begged the group to fulfill a dying man's wish, Janes believed in his mentor's prophecies.

He convinced them to travel to Joppah and meet Davish. Janes accompanied the Five on their journey. Janes fought alongside the Five when they were attacked by cultists in wolf-headed masks. Though he traveled unarmed, Janes' martial training permitted him to catch and deflect arrows from his attackers. Upon arriving at the Temple of Pallas in Joppah, he was present when the comatose Davish recovered and gave the Five a new mission: travel to the village of Macre and help a woman missing her son. Having fulfilled his part of Pallas' vision, Davish finally died peacefully.

Janes was devastated by the loss of his mentor. He has since offered to pay for the group's travel to Macre and see what Davish's prophecy represents.

Janes is described as a handsome Low Elf with severe facial features and skin the color of hazelnuts. He keeps his silver hair clipped short to his scalp. He commonly wears deep navy blue robes with wide legs. Around his waist is a pristine ivory wide sash and a symbol of Pallas. After Davish died, he was seen wearing a black fringed stole.
