 To avoid this fate, many of the Wesfolk, led by a masked Lady Jessene, fled as refugees to the Kingdom of Stormvale, seizing the Northern Keep near the time of the summer harvest. After threatening [[Haldric I|Prince Haldric]] and his men, Jessene was captured, but invoked the right of surrender. When questioned why she encroached on Stormvale's lands, she confessed her plight, and was made to leave.<ref name="storms" />

 '''Jessene''' (also known as '''Wesfolk Leader''', '''Lady Outlaw''', '''Lady Jessene''', and '''Queen Jessene''') was the husband of [[Haldric I]] and first royal consort of [[Wesnoth]]. She was born into nobility as a princess of the [[Wesfolk]]. During the time of peace between the Wesfolk and the [[Green Isle]] kingdoms, she was the navigator responsible for the [[First Crown Prince of Southbay|Crown Prince of Southbay]]'s voyage to the [[Great Continent]].
-After her return, war broke out again, and she was forced to flee her home as an outcast when the [[Lich-Lords]] built a portal, allowing orcs to invade. At first, she attempted to settle with her fellow refugees in [[Stormvale]], but was soon driven out. When Stormvale itself fell under siege by the orcs, however, she joined forces with its evacuees. She served as an important ally and advisor to Haldric during his exodus to the Great Continent, translating the [[Book of Fire and Darkness]] such that Haldric was able to use the Ruby of Fire.

 When Jessene and Haldric reached the Great Continent, she helped Haldric complete each of the [[Ka'lian]]'s four quests, and discovered the elves' plan to betray their pact. She aided Haldric in deceiving the [[Jevyan|Lich-Lord Jevyan]] by hiding the Ruby of Fire inside a cave located in the [[Brown Hills]]. By the time of the establishment of the Kingdom of Wesnoth, she had earned Haldric's trust and admiration. The two were subsequently married, making Jessene the queen consort of Wesnoth. Jessene had multiple children, including Haldric II, the second King of Wesnoth.

 They eventually reached Oldwood Forest, where they discovered a group of woses under siege from the orcs. The leader of the woses, Elilmaldur-Rithrandil, demanded that the refugees prove their non-aggression by helping the woses kill the surrounding orcish chieftains, Tan-Gralg and Tan-Rugar. Afterwards, Haldric inquired as to whether Elilmaldur-Rithrandil could help fight the orcs, who instead offered Haldric the opportunity to seize a powerful artifact, sealed underground with a Lich-Lord some time prior. Jessene realized that the wose was referring to the Ruby of Fire. Haldric accepted the wose's offer, who then opened the [[Oldwood catacombs|catacombs]] beneath the nearby temple for Haldric's men to enter. Jessene refused to go with him, stating her discomfort with confronting a Lich-Lord. Haldric voiced confusion as to why the Wesfolk had allowed themselves to be led by the Lich-Lords, so she explained the ambition and thirst for power that had driven them to pursue necromancy. Haldric allowed Jessene instead to scout the path ahead.<ref name="oldwood">{{Cite|the oldwood}}</ref>

Though Aethyr was initially questioned Haldric's judgement in aiding the Wesfolk, Jessene insisted that she and the Wesfolk would be needed for the fight ahead.

Jessene assured Haldric that she would be able to translate the text they sought.  Amidst the ensuing battle, Haldric's forces discovered a monolith near the entrance of the [[Caror|Lich-Lord Caror]]'s castle which kept Caror bound in stone, along with the Book of Fire and Darkness. Haldric uttered the inscribed incantation, thereby releasing Caror, who immediately sensed the Ruby of Fire. Upon killing Caror, Haldric's forces hastened northwards with the book and managed to enter the sewers, despite the orcs guarding the entrance.<ref name="fallen" />

 Haldric and Jessene emerged from the sewer and sought an audience with the King of Southbay, King Addroran IX. When Addroran saw Jessene, realizing she was one of the Wesfolk, he was initially hostile, but Haldric persuaded him that the Wesfolk had been of service. Jessene revealed her role as a navigator for the former Crown Prince of Southbay, and that unless they fled to the west, the orcs would kill them, a fate that had once befallen the majority of the Wesfolk. Seeing her words as truthful, Addroran conceded that the people of Southbay could flee eastwards, but only after winter had finished. During the winter, Jessene worked on translating the Book of Fire and Darkness.<ref name="southbay" />
-Eventually, Jessene managed to complete her translation of the Book of Fire and Darkness, allowing Haldric to use the Ruby of Fire. Soon thereafter, a group of orcs launched an offensive against Southbay. As night fell on the battlefield, the [[Jevyan|Lich-Lord Jevyan]] emerged with [[Jevyan's familiar|his familiar]] and the reanimated corpse of the second Crown Prince of Southbay, Addroran's son. Jevyan was able to sense the power of the Ruby of Fire, and left a number of undead to aid the orcs in their siege. During that night, Lord Typhon returned with a number of mermen, seeking the first Crown Prince of Southbay. As before, Jessene negotiated a deal with him, and the mermen joined the fight against the orcs. With Typhon's mermen at their disposal, Haldric defeated the orcs and undead, including the second Crown Prince. Nevertheless, Jessene remained worried that Jevyan would now continue to seek the Ruby of Fire. Haldric agreed to return to Southbay to rescue survivors if possible before setting sail with the refugees to the east.<ref name="final" />

 After some time at sea, Jessene navigated towards the volcanic island she'd previously visited on her previous voyage to the Great Continent, surprised to see that the drakes they had pacified had since returned, and were no less hostile than before. In order to be able to reprovision their ships in peace, Haldric attacked the drakes and killed their leaders. From a distance, the familiar of Jevyan kept watch, monitoring their activities.<ref name="decline" />
