Ulara d’Jorasco

Baron Ulara d'Jorasco is the matriarch of House Jorasco and the leader of Resthold, the Healers Guild enclave and training hospital in Vedykar. Although hardly a recluse, she only leaves her villa when required and rarely goes far from her home. She leaves most of the day-to-day affairs of enclaves across Khorvaire to her younger family members and manages affairs via intermediaries and delegates as needed. Hence, advisors and house officials stream in and out of her villa all day long. She doesn't have much time for the traditional halflings of the Talenta Plains, as they are suspicious of House Jorasco. Primarily a scholar, Ulara focuses on her research and books within her villa. She is an expert in historical plagues. As the position of matriarch is chosen by the House Jorasco membership, unlike other dragonmarked houses, the House of Healing changes leadership much more frequently, but without turmoil. As the current matriarch, Ulara is much loved, not only within the house but across western Khorvaire, and is unlikely to be unseated.
