House Jorasco
A familial line of halflings, each with a strange rune adorning their face from birth, House Jorasco has used its mysterious advantage to build a mercantile empire based upon their incredible healing tonics. Such ability had so long been the reserve of the divine worshippers, servants of Pharika among others. House Jorasco allows adventurers and the like to, for a reasonable price, heal themselves and others around them from minor and major wounds without the need for any divine intervention.
In the early days, it was custom that agents of House Jorasco would be hired out as mercenaries in order to follow around a group of intrepid explorers and keep them healthy as needed within and between the fray of fights and battles. That was before they worked out a far safer, easier and more efficient method to turn their ingrained abilities into profit; the invention of the healing potion. To this day, House Jorasco are still the only source of quality mass produced healing tonics and have built for themselves a great monopoly on the back of this breakthrough. Their profits, power and influence has only grown. It is not all plain sailing for House Jorasco though. Pharika, God of Affliction is not one to take such a slight lightly and a price must be paid. The family is plagued by a history of the most horrid and heinous illnesses. The head of the house is usually holed up in bed in their family home in Vedykar, Karrnath, enjoying their family’s vast wealth while they can.
Marked agents of the house are protected fiercely and kept within Vedykar, rarely seen outside the house walls without a legion of bodyguards around them, so precious is their life for the mark they bare. It is the unmarked ones who are seen most. Whilst unable to contribute to the family's production, they serve as the face of the business, selling wares and securing deals.
