Personal history
Jaela was the daughter of a simple craftsman in Flamekeep before all else. At the age of four she manifested the ability to predict catastrophic events through dreams and nightmares. These visions were so compelling and accurate her Father decided to contact Cardinal Hagaci. The Cardinal took her to be tested at the Church of the Silver Flame where she was presented to the Silver Flame itself. The Silver Flame responded and told Jaela of a secret Lords of Dust cabal operating within the walls of Flamekeep. The knights of Thrane set out and eliminated the Lords of Dust operatives thus proving Jaela's connection with the Silver Flame. The council of cardinals dutifully appointed Jaela as the new Keeper in 993 YK when she was only six years old.
Over the years Jaela has been the target of many assassination attempts by rival nations who wish to destabilise Thrane's government.
Education
Jaela receives extensive theological instruction and often communes with the Silver Flame.
Employment
During her conversations with the Silver Flame she regularly receives warnings of impending trials that await Thrane. After receiving any orders from the Silver Flame she will arrange a meeting with the cardinals and councillors to instruct them to carry them out. Jaela has little policy making powers as the Council of Cardinals has enough autonomy to enforce the law as it sees fit however, through instructions provided by the Silver Flame she can nullify or circumvent the cardinal's authority.
