-* You and Nemnu are the only two living people who know for a certainty that the Nadenigh caves link directly to the Inner Caves of Nemnosti. There is a deep chamber with a permanent seal that encodes a powerful illusion, a wondrous, softly-lit mural known as the Fingerprint, to which various sigillants have added over many centuries, and which conceals a secret tunnel leading through to the Viper's Cave of Nemnosti. You learned about this, and many other secrets of those caves, from Sharusila.

 * It has been widely and reliably gossiped among the tiny circle of Ravre sigillants that one of the powerful noblewomen of the province is receiving some sort of secret training as a sigillant, though no one knows who their Upward and Downward could be.
 * During your training with Eng-dur, you rediscovered a long-forgotten standing stone in the Turtu, northwest of the mountain, Zarizi, which is known as the Vulture-Pecked Stone (Tetavai Ikhanne, literally 'pecked-repetitively by vultures' because its appearance is as if having been pecked with tiny holes by hundreds of vultures.  Strikingly, a vulture was standing atop the stone (which is now sunken in earth, with only three feet or so showing above ground) when you arrived there with Eng-dur.

		+	Jevai Nadenigh was born in 743 to Porfo of the Nadenigh and Fusna of the Igriz. She was a somewhat strange and quiet child, who saw colours where there were not, interested in stones and the secrets of the lineage caves. In other words, a perfect candidate to be trained as a new Sigillant. She began this training in 757, when she turned 14. As the last Nadenigh Sigillant had dies some years before, others had to be found to conduct her training. Among the Siginllant community, those who could be found were both outcast themselves: Eng-Dur of the Chuchuru as Upward, and Saza of the Gago, sister of the erratic and violent hengi of her lineage Tocha Gago, as Downward. Despite the concerns of her parents, Jevai endured their idiosyncrasies and abuse (from Saza), and passed her initiation into the craft. Afte this, she was recruited by Bura Hazh to come to the Uajeta as an acolyte, to deepen her knowledge of the world, of source, and for other reasons that only became clear as she became older and came into more responsibility.
		+
		+	She stayed at the Ulajeta, in service to Nemnu Ula, after she completed that training. As an acolyte, she had made close relationships and broadened her mind. She continued to research, sharing her learning with her Upward and even undertaking some research on his behalf. She also learned more of her responsibilities as Sigillant to her lineage, and the secrets of the underground Iftibal and the cave complex beyond which linked her home with Nemnosti. When she was 21, having lived this life – balancing her responsibilities to her teachers, to her lineage, to Nemnu and the ulajeta – for almost 4 years, her Downward disappeared. Jevai was struck with a certainty that she could not comprehend that he was no longer a Person. She searched for answers for months before a vision brought her to the Lanky stones, and a vision. Ther, she learned to communicate with him, whatever his Kind now is, but it was limited in scope. Based on her research, experience, and intuition, she has dismissed the possibility that he has become a haunt, at least in the way that this Kind is usually understood. Her research into what he is, and how he became this way, has begun to lead her down new, perhaps unorthodox, paths.

		+	Jevai's main role at Nemnosti is to conduct magical research across fields such as abjuration, magical theory relating to Source and the ways to access it (fos, glyphs, etc.), as well as areas of key interest to Nemnu Ula. Since the disappearance of Eng-dur her research has expanded into some of the areas he used to be interested in, as clues to his current fate. She aids in the curation and management of the many treasures, books, magical items, and spell texts at Nemnosti, in anticipation that one day that might be a more important role. Recently Giri has had her doing some teaching of sigillant things to new acolytes, although it is not clear whether Jevai would aspire to more responsibility in that area. She might also be called on by any of the mystics, or her aunt Naka, or Giri, for some random task involving research of some mundane sort. Either Giri or Saza (if present) could give her instructions outside her duties here at Nemnosti - while her formal apprenticeship is over, her duties to Upward and Downward remain.

She is the Preceptor of the acolytes - in charge of overall curriculum.  Not as much of a scholar as some of the other mystics, but very important in the intellectual life of the place, and one of the teachers you were close to during your own studies.
 *[[Pughan Nadenigh]]: Your brother, born Zhundul but who took the name Pughan as his ghir; also sometimes known by his friends as Spindletop. His death and rebirth just the year after Eng-dur disappeared was a difficult time for you. For his part, Pughan's rebirth has made him more reckless than ever, which is a subject of discussion among your family. Definitely your success and status at Nemnosti has made him a little resentful towards you, which he expresses through derision.

+*[[Hestur Lutamu]]: A jeweler and gemcutter of great skill whose work with her sigillant husband on creations such as the Reje Diadem earned her a privileged place of interment after her death 40+ years ago. Hestur, as an Ancestor, is an elder of exacting precision in language and a sharp eye for detail, not unkind but not given to idle chatter. Though not a fos user, she can relate to you through her long partnership with a sigillant.
