it’d be weird as hell if there wasn’t like. actual big communities of zemeni / shu / suli ppl IN kerch so like. consider

jesper spends a Lot of time in the districts that have the biggest/most active zemeni communities — places where there’s zemeni restaurants, tailors, boutiques, barbers / salons, community centres & theatres & churches, all that good stuff. places where he can just speak in his first language and hang out with zemeni people from allllllll over novyi zem.

while he’s still a part of the dregs, he does his best to keep the gang business from rly reaching those areas ( both thru his own influence and also speaking to kaz abt it ). a lot of the money he made from the ice court heist goes into helping other zemeni business people in kerch, specifically ketterdam, and!! this is just. personal hc ofc but. i like to think that, when wylan joins the council later on, he and jesper do a lot of work towards removing kerch presence in novyi zem ( SPECIFICALLY in the southern colonies ) AND rectifying the messes kerch has been making in nz. starting with freeing all the land bought up by kerch jurda companies, as well as all the zemeni mines under control of kerch/ravkan/etc governments and businesses. there’s bound to be pushback from the other nasties on the council but like. wes/per have a lot of influence thru many many many means :)
