Jakaleel the Witch Jeset the Ferryman Jmijie

Jakaleel the Witch [JAHK-uh-leel]

Lunar pantheon -- Spindle Hag, one of the Seven Mothers

Jakaleel was once a priestess of Zorak Zoran in the mountains of Jord. Her cult explores the diverse horrors and solaces contained in the secrets of darkness in its many forms, and she has close associations with the Blue Moon. Trolls who join the Lunar faith gravitate toward her cult.

Her statues portray a skinny old woman with withered arms, draped in a light colored shawl decorated with black stars.

For more information on Jakaleel the Witch, see the Cult of the Seven Mothers.

Jeset the Ferryman [JEH-set]

Troll pantheon -- guide to Hell

Jeset, the Ferryman of the Dead, built the first boat. He uses it to ferry souls across the River Styx to the far side. For this he charges a small copper coin, or else a small magic item of varying worth to the few living who wish to use his services.

His image is not often carved into images by trolls, though the image of his boat may be.

Jmijie [zh'MEE-zheh]

Pamalt pantheon -- the homeless god, the wanderer

Jmijie is the spirit of travel who inspires Pamalt's people to wander across their vast, peaceful plains. Occasionally a worshiper of Jmijie is stricken and overcome by the wanderlust curse to travel from home to seek new places and experiences.

Jmijie is illustrated by a figure with his left hand shading his eyes, and with a travel pack on his back.
