Hortense St. James

Hortense St. James was one of the most talented and innovative artificers in the history of Illur. She resided in the city of Ghostpointe, and despite her advanced age, helped fight back the demon Zsyzak the Many-Handed during the first Festival of the Crimson Moon. She was the one responsible for building the city's first clocktower, and inventions based on her designs are still being contructed in Reliad to this day. Her grandson is Maarten St. James.

Trivia

 * Hortense was also ultimately responsible for the construction of the Tower of the Gods and its ilk, despite having no idea at the time what the device would be used for. The Last Warning encountered her regretful spirit on one of the Tower's top floors.
