Jana ir'Tain

Background
Janessa Lavernia ir'Tain was born twenty nine years ago as the fourth child - and second daughter - of Maximillian and Johanna ir'Tain. The ir’Tains are one of the oldest and most powerful families in Sharn - one of the Twenty-Seven Families who are represented in the Founder's Assembly, Breland's upper legislative chamber. The ir'Tain family controls many towers and their wealth is said to rival that of the dwarven banking House Kundarak. The Tain Gala, held to mark the end of summer, is attended by some the most powerful people in Breland: the leaders of Dragonmarked Houses, powerful politicians and nobles, and even royalty. The guest list of the Tain Gala defines the social order of the city and the families with permanent invitations to the Gala - known colloquially as the Sixty - are the royalty of Sharn.

Her family might be well-known, but information about Jana herself was scarce and difficult to find. I was able to ascertain her birthdate, that she was schooled at the Vannevar Academy alongside other rich nobles and noblewomen, and that she was a prodigious magical talent who was invited to study at the Arcane Congress in Arcanix. My correspondence with an old friend of Yanger's who is a member of the Congress suggests that she held positions of significant power there before leaving suddenly; apparently, some of her old letters and possessions remain in Arcanix.

While her sisters and brother hold prominent positions in various ir'Tain endeavors, Jana appears to not have a role in the family businesses - or at least, not any that I could dig up at the Hall of Records.

Little is known about when she met Burhan or any of the other Stargazers.

Current Activities
The last confirmed sighting of Jana was when you encountered her on the Fairhaven Express lightning rail train. She cornered most of you and cast a sleep spell to trap you, but according to Sarienne, she and Cornerio resisted her magical temptations and attacked her, breaking the enchantment. After Sarienne killed her pet bird (was that really necessary?? - K), she disappeared from the train completely, presumably through the use of a Teleport spell. Since then, I assume she has arrived in Sharn for her family's gala, given what you were able to overhear when you heard her talking with the rest of the Stargazers. I have reproduced the relevant excerpt below:
