Baron Yoren d'Ghallanda is the halfling patriarch of House Ghallanda . [1] [4] [2] [3]
Activities
He runs the House's operations from Gatherhold in the Talenta Plains , with his reach stretching across Khorvaire . [1] Under Yoren's leadership, the House's presence has expanded across Khorvaire, even to remote areas like the edge of the Demon Wastes . [3] He entrusts regional councils of viceroys with control of the Hostelers Guild and Dragontail Guild and often goes on diplomatic missions to maintain the independence of Ghallanda enclaves. [2]
He is helped in his duties as patriarch by his daughter Chervina , and is guided by her study of the Draconic Prophecy . [2] [3] Yoren grows more and more interested in it and gives Chervina the freedom to found new enclaves based on it, no matter how uninhabited or perilous the place. [2]
Yoren's own enclave is a large and opulent hall attached to the Ghallanda Inn , standing at the center of Gatherhold and one of the biggest permanent structures there. [1] [4] There he runs the kitchen as a master chef, in addition to his duties as patriarch, dividing his time equally. [4] His personal domain is deep inside the cliff-tunnels. [2]
He holds tight to both the traditional nomadic culture of the Talenta halflings and to that of the so-called "civilized" halflings who have long lived among other races and nations. Yoren is said to keep the fires burning at Gatherhold so the nomadic halfling tribes will always find a warm welcome. [1]
Description
He is elderly. [2]
