Mother Vexline

Mother Vexline is a small, dried woman with eyes like dark ponds and a raspy voice that carries authority on the crowded alleys of Gutterspires. No one knows her age; she simply is. In the district’s tangled streets she settles disputes, practices medicine, and opens her door to the desperate. Her home smells of broth, herbs, and wet stone.

When Jax arrived,she gave him a bed, a meal, and a warning: “Safety is borrowed. Respect is earned.”
