Hesta Cole#

Summary#

Hesta Cole is Havenport’s closest thing to a nurse — a practical healer who tends to the town’s Wither victims at the Salt House. She tries to make them comfortable but has not found a cure. Source: 2026.09.29.

Notes#

• She works in the Salt House, sitting in the corner during meals.
• Mauve introduces her as “Hesta Cole, sister” — the closest thing Havenport has to a nurse.
• She treats those who have succumbed to the Wither, making them comfortable but unable to cure the illness.
• Mauve says her abilities have “reached their limits.”
• She would be delighted to receive any information about the Wither that the party could provide.

• Mauve Marigold described her as a healer still developing her skill with curses, who has dedicated her life to the work. When Odine Dunmere asked if she could come with the party to the veil, Mauve refused: “If I allow her to accompany you for long, we may lose another life this evening.” Source: 2026.10.06.
