Jecily Bright

**Jecily Bright** is a half-elven oracle of the stars and the night sky.

## **Description**

### **Appearance**

Jecily is a young woman with bleach blonde hair that verges on white. She currently wears bloodied and tattered robes left over from her days in the cult.

### **Personality**

Nothing seems to shock Jecily. Even when meeting gods face to face she seems nonplussed. She approaches most situations with a cold logic that befits her years in the cult and often struggles to understand the way of life outside of it.

## **Biography**

### **Background**

Jecily was raised in the Stellar Sisterhood, part of the secretive Chained Cathedral cult. She does not know whether she was born into the group and knows nothing about her parentage. During her childhood she displayed an innate understanding of prophecy and quickly rose through the ranks of the Sisterhood where she became the Oracle during her early teenage years.

Nearing the end of 1641 AA Jecily was wrenched from the top of the cathedral's cliff by a mysterious abomination in humanoid form and left to fall to her death. She survived the fall and went into hiding in the village of Pebblefoot.

### **Chapter 1**

Jecily ran into the rest of the party outside of West Cottage in Pebblefoot and assisted in the rescue of one of the residents of the village. During their exploits in town Jecily came into contact with a celestially infused telescope that mesmerised her in the middle of battle, showing her scenes of stars and nebulas.

After drinking and resting at the Conquered Stone in Elsett Jecily had a vivid dream of a great celestial void containing a sphere of writhing, golden chains that spoke to her and introduced itself as 'The Emissary'. This being claimed to be a messenger of the celestially bound gods, and that they were bound together in some way. After this she led the party to the Chained Cathedral complex where they came into contact with the being that had thrown Jecily from the cliff who was using the body of her old friend Maesa as a puppet to communicate, while walking the grounds they discovered that all the members of the cult were also being puppetted by the being too. In the belly of the beast Jecily offered herself over to the abomination to free her friends, which it accepted, by the transaction was blocked by a greater power. Forced into a vision by the intensity of the experience Jecily met with the bound god of death Brimfrugang who explained that the hostile being was one of their subordinates that had been driven insane by the isolation of the binding process. Brimfrugang bought the gang time to escape from the cathedral using what limited power it could will into the world.

While the party were visiting the emcampment in Gooddagger Wood Jecily saw strange bestial eyes peering from the treeline that no one else could see. During the escape Jecily struck Ysach Hellidge with a celestial tithe and awoke something that created a golden chain around him and the standing stone present in the clearing. As the party escaped from Scampley Jecily saw two colossal bestial shapes rising from the wood, one with golden eyes and a chain around its neck and one with blue eyes.

## **Relationships**

### **Galius Morn**

Jecily has a sort of outsider sympathy for Galius and they relate on more logical levels, often acting as the grounding force for Moddeus and Pen.

### **Moddeus Hulix**

It is clear that Jecily does not understand Moddeus in the slightest and often becomes frustrated with his thought processes.

### **Maesa Bright**

Jecily grew up in her order alongside a few other girls of a similar age, but was particularly close to Maesa. Maesa felt like Jecily was the only one who she could confide her deepest secrets and fears to. It was during one of these quiet talks that a mysterious humanoid creature attacked the two girls, stabbing Maesa through the stomach and launching Jecily off the Gracehead cliff.

## **Abilities**

Jecily is a proficient spellcaster with a inclination towards celestial and divination magics. It seems Jecily's ability is both a matter of nature and nurture, with her ascent to her position in her order seemingly preordained but spurred on by her gifted mind.

### **Celestial Tithe**

Jecily is bound inextricably to the celestial, to the realms above the world. The appearance of heavenly bodies and their movements tells her things about the world around her, and even about the people around her. Through her spellcasting Jecily is able to derive peoples pasts, present, and future and use them against them in battle.

### **Bright Tidings**

At 2nd level Jecily has opened her mind to the potential that her fate lies outside her order, and been granted greater power over divination by the comet.
