Jessilla val Dayne

Jessilla val Dayne ("jeh-SIH-luh") is an arcanist who was a former member of the Burja before forming a splinter faction known as the Reshiga.

Jessilla split with the Burja over ideological differences, namely the Burja's policy of magical non-proliferation (restricting access to magic). This schism erupted into an all-out magical civil war. Most of Phoena's major cities have seen street violence between Burja and Reshiga members.

Jessilla is considered one of the more powerful magi in Teresis.

Jessilla is 21.

Relationships

Jessilla's split was principally with Koraman, a maestro of the Burja. Koraman was not only her mentor, but also her foster father. Jessilla was orphaned on the streets as a child and taken in on a whim by Koraman, after he witnessed her display of magic when stealing a piece of cooked meat from a street vendor.

Jessilla is married to Rassen val Dayne, a Phoenic nobleman. Initially their marriage was purely political, but, if the rumors are true, love followed quickly after.
