Urthara Drakesbane of Blackbones

Urthara is a slim orc woman with a knowing smile and burn-scarred left hand. At her hip sits a well kept sword for battle, and a jeweled dagger for show. Her hair is braided with silver and jewels and she is considered a radiant figure among the orcs. Her beautiful face and soft voice is said to enchant any who see or hear her. In her right hand, she carries a carved rod, an heirloom of her family, taken from a dragon's hoard.

Though she does not necessarily have the quick wit of an elvish courtier, Urthara has a raw power of personality that forces people to follow her. She is intuitive, persistent, and above all patient. While she has a tolerance for the politics of court life in Balarai, she rarely allows her mind to be changed once she has set it, even when perhaps she should.

Her entourage consists of 23 Blackbones warriors who are devoted to her. Her personal attendant is an elf slave captured during the Silver-leaf Rebellion, given to her by the King in thanks for the Blackbones' aid in battle.

Urthara's hand was burned at the Battle of Bloody Vale by a Hobgoblin wizard who commanded living fire. She drove her sword into his throat and took his ring as a trophy, which she still wears on her burnt hand.

Her second name (Drakesbane) has been passed down her bloodline for generations, since her great-great-great-great grandmother slew a cold dragon who had plagued the land and kidnapped the orc who would go on to be her great-great-great-great grandfather.

Urthara is second in line to lead the Blackbones.
