NPCs

People

• Afra Sortusai: AKA Firesnatch (used only in insult) or Ikhi (you call her this often, familiarly). A noblewoman who was an acolyte at the same time as you, considered very beautiful and refined. You had a relationship with her during your time together as acolytes, but that ended when you went to Onighus for Hand training. Although it's a bit awkward now that she's pregnant with the hengi Hojon's baby, you still get along well with her.
• Aibil Katerinolai: AKA Headwind. Hand Aibil is one of the senior priestesses at the big temple in Onighus, and during your training, she was your closest mentor. Having come from a rather quiet rural background at Nemnosti, you learned a lot from her about how politics works in the Hand, and gave you a taste for that kind of work. She's never visited Nemnosti in person but keeps promising in her letters that she will.
• Avrubai Dusmanis: You always call him Estuki; or playfully, Earwax. A big, sociable personality like you, you trained as acolytes together and were good friends, with him taking the mystic's path eventually and training in Ardukh in northern Khutu. He comes from quite a poor background and has never had much to his name. Returned about a year ago, still friendly but really just getting to know one another again.
• Bistu Borgegi: The current ward of Nemnu sent by Borgegus Ula, a Voice a few years younger than you. You first met him in Onighus when you were there, and then when he was sent here about a year ago you helped him adjust from urban life. That's a work in progress - he's still got a bit of an attitude, but you try to be patient.
• 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.
• 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.
• Keruna Kaisastelovis: High Priestess of the Hand at the Temple of Naftusa.
• Mususi Nemni
• Naka Igriz
• Nanga Nemni
• Pospor Borgegi
• Rembes Kaisastelovis
• Rosem Dendorfi
• Tagezhai Etergoldi
• Uklai Akhamai
• Veruve Nemni
• Vuruma Uklorofte

Revenants

• Aru Ninderulai: AKA Lodestone or Sadal. A noble Hand of the ardames tradition who abandoned that path to get married in their middle years, but then after that failed (and they became a revenant) returned to Nemnosti. Though no longer a Hand (because they left the order), helps Jesa and others in teaching acolytes about theology. You talk to them a lot about the future of the Ninderulai lineage and trying to restore it to some of its former stature.
• Emno Migantonos: The reckoner appointed by the nobility in Naftusa to Nemnosti - basically, the only official government intervention in day-to-day stuff. In your role, you have to deal with him a lot when it comes to any interpersonal things with lineages or conflicts. He is a little bit too fond of the ladies but keeps his hands to himself (with you).
• Lona Tinef: A gardener from Hertu who arrived in this area around 10 years ago with her husband. You found out a short while ago that she used to be a Hand, and she helps out at the cloister with everyday rituals and keeping the place looking nice around the little Hand chapel. Quiet and keeps to herself.
• Zurusha Nemni: Your older sister, born Lamna; you used to call her Geme or Whimsy, and still might. You were closer to her than anyone other than Izu, as a kid. Since her death and revival it's been impossible to spend time one on one with her - her aversion is that serious. She lives basically in a chamber where people bring her books to repair, and communicates with her family via letter.

Ancestors

• Ramarima Nemni: Your dimirabas, after whom the Lady gave you Her Name. A noblewoman from Onighus adopted into the Nemni, technically your great-great-grandfather's brother's granddaughter (you worked it out once). You met her when she was an old lady and you were a little girl, but don't remember her really from that time. But if you want to know the gossip from, say, 680 to her death, she is a deep repository of wisdom, and to explain the parts of her notebooks (which are not quite in code, but definitely not clear) that don't make sense.
• Songaseli Nemni: Your paternal grandfather (Zaren's dad), who came to Nemnosti after a career as a merchant and became a stoneguard. You only knew him when you were little but he is a good person to talk to about spiritual matters, or just to get advice.

Saints

• Borgegus Ula: You met Him a few times when you were His ward during your Hand training in Onighus. He set you up with a place to live in his ulajeta, The Maze, and introduced you around, through His intermediaries. You know saints can't move but the best description you have of your encounters is 'twitchy'. Very smart, very fast-thinking, has His hands in everything going on in the city. You definitely got the sense that among Nemnu and Him, there is a relationship of obligation going back to when He helped Her found Nemnosti.
