Jamethiel Priest's-bane of Knorth, usually called Jame, is a young Kencyr and the protagonist of the series. Jame is the daughter of Ganth Gray Lord, Highlord of the Kencyrath, and of Jamethiel Dream-Weaver. She is the full and fraternal twin sister of Torisen Black Lord, later Highlord. Bane is her half-brother, the son of Ganth and his Kendar mistress, while Kindrie is her first cousin on both sides, the son of Jamethiel Dream-Weaver's brother and Ganth's sister. Her soul-image is a slightly twisted image of the Great Hall in the Master's House in Perimal Darkling.
