Jaya Ballard, auxiliar de mago

Earning her name as a not-so-humble task mage and as an acquaintance of Jodah, Jaya Ballard witnessed many of the momentous events on Terisiare during the Ice Age.

In prerevisionist storylines, Jaya was little more than a supporting character in the Ice Age, who accompanied Kaysa, Jaeuhl Carthalion, Laina, Taaveti, the Fyndhorn elves and some Knights of Kjeldor into Yavimaya as their guide and hired protector a decade after Freyalise cast her World Spell. She defended the elvish settlement when it was attacked by sentient gorillas, and later aided in cleansing the Heart of Yavimaya, and helped to birth Kaysa and Jaeuhl’s child.
