 * [[Hojon Nemni]]: AKA Sinews or Taishukh, or as his title 'Osper'.  He relies on you even over his own daughter Mususi as the Hand responsible for Nemni lineage stuff (a source of some tension).  Has been a good leader since his father's death around a dozen years ago, but more recently has been somewhat embattled over interpersonal issues.
 * [[Ikhesi Nemni]]: An acolyte and distant cousin who, after his training at the ulajeta, became ward to Borgegus Ula at the Maze in Onighus, just as you did several years ago.  Like you, friendly, given to thinking about politics and lineages, and figuring out what his place is in the world.
 * [[Jesa Kerteroki]]: AKA Gossamer or Imara (you could call her any of these); the highest-ranking Hand at Nemnosti. You have a very good working relationship with her but she is hard to get to know and to have a warm relationship with - very formal.
 * [[Keruna Kaisastelovis]]: High Priestess of the Hand at Birgoje, the great Temple of Naftusa, and a major political figure among Khutu's Hands.  Despite being of the nobility which is sometimes in tension with Nemnosti here in the province, Keruna has positive relations with all of you and is interested in your career progress.

 * [[Rosem Dendorfi]]: Known as The Chimney, a powerful elderly nobleman, hengi of the most powerful lineage in the province, based out of the great iftibal in Naftusa. Once the Dendorfi married often into the Nemni lineage, but lately the two have been in opposition, which may be changing back, slowly.  His son Verga is a middling-power Voice here at the ulajeta.  Seems to respect those who stand up to him.
 * [[Sakasa Nemni]]: AKA Vivid-red, Vivid, Viv, or Vinda. A distant cousin who serves the Lady as an envoy, messenger, and herald, a useful task for someone who She can speak to directly.  While not much at Nemnosti anymore, especially since her divorce, Sakasa was and is a friend, especially because she was once a ward of Borgegus Ula, just as you were.  A bit frivolous sometimes, but very well-informed on the business of the ulajeta and anything that affects it.
 * [[Tagezhai Etergoldi]]: Known as Odyssey, he is very old but has a magic artifact that keeps him from aging, by virtue of being hengi of his lineage. Through his marriage to Hojon's older sister, he has powerful Nemni connections which he hopes to exploit in the future.  Unlike the noble lineages, the Etergoldi are commoners and so cut off from other obvious sources of power in the province.
 * [[Uklai Akhamai]]: Your grandmother, aka Lisava. Born in Taizi, and was the second in her family after her father to be an acolyte here. Worked as a merchant for the cloister for years, but now largely retired to her pleasant home in nearby Hertu, where you visit her often.
 * [[Veruve Nemni]]: AKA Mosaic or Nifin.  Veruve was an acolyte just before you were, a powerfully gifted mystic who was Nemnu's apprentice and is now her Vessel.  When you were an acolyte yourself she had a bit of a 'big sister' relationship to you and was great friends with your sister Zurusha. Was adopted by Hojon a few years ago, thus now a distant cousin.  In her new role, has taken on a more standoffish/aloof demeanor, probably to fend off suitors, you imagine.
 * [[Vuruma Uklorofte]]: AKA Tuturg.  Vuruma is a middle-aged hengi of the Uklorofte mirifti - a lineage who reckon descent through the female line.  Has been working with you, and Nemnu, to find marriage partners among the acolytes or Nemni for her son and daughter.  A major donor to the ulajeta who visits frequently, but lives in Naftusa.
 * [[Zaren Nemni]]: Your dad, aka Zesty or Ronu, but you just call him dad.  Now retired due to an injury after a fall, he was hit hard when Zurusha's revival went wrong. A loyal family man whose kids are important to him. Friends with Hojon, who is the same age as him, and a group of male acolytes all about the same age who now play major roles here.

 * [[Rembes Kaisastelovis]]: Known as The Lion, a powerful elderly sentinel based out of the town of Bemnes, where he is the hengi of his wealthy and powerful noble lineage.  Father of Keruna, you know him through that connection but also through his efforts to meddle in politics in the province. Very (over?)confident, an expert on military and political strategy, a bad person to have as an enemy.
 * [[Rosem Dendorfi]]: Known as The Chimney, a powerful elderly nobleman, hengi of the most powerful lineage in the province, based out of the great iftibal in Naftusa. Once the Dendorfi married often into the Nemni lineage, but lately the two have been in opposition, which may be changing back, slowly.  His son Verga is a middling-power Voice here at the ulajeta.  Seems to respect those who stand up to him.

-Ifa's main role at the ulajeta is to welcome, get to know, and get information about guests, new acolytes, and anyone who is not yet well-known around the ulajeta.  This would include, to some degree, pilgrims and others visiting Ancestors, although the specifics are all left to the Voices to sort out.  Ifa is not a recruiter of new acolytes but aids Nemnu in the selection of acolytes, especially those from further away or from noble lineages of the province.  As a former ward of Borgegus she is expected to keep abreast of what is going on in Khutu more broadly, including politics.  She has priestly duties which would include prayers at the small chapel (there is no formal Hand temple here), coordinating with the major temple of Birgoje in Naftusa for ceremonies and events, and (especially) dealing with things like marriages, betrothals, and the like, which bridges her priestly duties and her duties to Nemnu specifically. (Note that because you are a Nemni, she can call you telepathically from anywhere, at any time.) She doesn't do hospitality in the sense of food, entertainment, etc. but does make sure that she knows what things new arrivals will need.

 * [[Bura Hazh]]: AKA Zephyr or Larar. Bura is the main recruiter for Nemnosti among her own folk, the Ravre. She is a skilled reckoner with a deep knowledge of the history of the region, and a teacher at the ulajeta. Because of your role in helping new acolytes get socialized here, you interact with her especially when she brings newcomers.
 * [[Dadim Nemni]]: Your big brother; you definitely call him Dumpling, less often by his dimir of Zhinozh.  The Coathook in Naftusa is a great neutral place to meet folks before inviting them to the cloister, and Dadim knows his role is to serve the Lady through you and others. You can trust him to tell you the truth, but not to keep confidences.
-* [[Ghegra Honogh]]: A young(ish) hengi, one of few women in the role. Was an acolyte, friends with Kuspir, but her lineage duties have taken priority, and she is now on the marriage market to try to improve her family's fortunes, which have been in decline.
