J'mon Sa Ord

 was believed by Vox Machina to be the ruler of Ank'Harel, the central town in a far-off continent called Marquet. Vox Machina first discussed the lore of J'mon Sa Ord upon finding a bust depicting the figure while investigating the former home of Brimscythe (General Krieg) in Emon. As an NPC, J'mon Sa Ord is played by Matthew Mercer.

Background
In General Krieg's home, Vox Machina discovered a series of bronze busts of J'mon Sa Ord wearing a cloth headwrap. Although the cloth headwrap and neckwrap were detailed, the features of J'mon's face were plain and nondescript. Vox Machina didn't recognize the face at all, but the party recalled tales from a far-off continent called Marquet. Marquet was known as a largely desert landscape (desert and mountains). Of the few bastions of civilization that existed in this desert, there was a central town referred to as Ank'Harel, which was a little oasis in the center of this vast desert. (Jarett Howarth, head guard at Greyskull Keep, was from Ank'Harel.  Vex'ahlia remembered that Riskel Daxio was attempting to escape to Ank'Harel before he was captured by Vox Machina.)

According to the tales, Ank'Harel had been ruled in a very benevolent way—since its existence began about four hundred years ago—by an individual referred to as J'mon Sa Ord. People don't know if they are human or what they are, but they have apparently lived that long. Vox Machina has heard that J'mon Sa Ord is human, but their features are hard to make out—even looking into their face, one would seem unable to focus. The series of busts in General Krieg's home seemed to depict this individual, but Vox Machina had never seen anything like this art in Tal'Dorei and had no reference for comparison.
