Tessarin Alaraun

Tessarin "Longtresses" Alaurun is the witty and beautiful First Speaker of the council and ruler of the beleagured town of Nesmé. Among other things, she is renowned for her collection of magical items.

Background
Before the invasion of the trolls of the Evermoors she was a member, but not leader of the town council. Meetings often descended into heated arguments with the former First Speaker, Jygil Zelnathra, a cleric of Waukeen, about the role of religion in government. When Waukeen was captured by Graz'zt just after the Time of Troubles, Jygil was weakened so much that Tessarin took over as First Speaker. Under Tessarin's leadership, she turned Nesmé into a magocracy and eventually took Jygil as her apprentice in the ways of The Art. She now has plans for Nesmé to rival the city of Silverymoon and to join the Lords' Alliance.

Tessarin escaped the Troll Invasion of 1370 DR and has struggled to rebuild after the damage her city had taken.
