House Jorasco is a halfling dragonmarked house operating throughout Khorvaire. Although their house enclave is located in Karrnath, their dragonmark originated among the nomadic tribes on the Talenta Plains.
Dragonmark[]
House Jorasco possesses the Mark of Healing. This mark grants various magical benefits that allow its bearers to heal and cure diseases. This makes Jorasco a vital part of the struggles of the Last War and throughout Khorvaire in general.
Guilds[]
The Healers Guild is the premiere service of House Jorasco. They provide both mundane and magical healing for those who can afford it at their hospitals and healing enclaves throughout Khorvaire. Members of the guild include herbalists, alchemists, physicians, as well as some clerics and adepts of the Sovereign Host and Silver Flame. Few seek healing from the church (even if they are willing to pay) and only the most devout or well respected within a religion will usually receive healing.
History[]
Origins[]
The Mark of Healing first appeared among the halflings of the Talenta Plains around 3000 years ago. However, unlike their counterparts in House Ghallanda, the halflings of Jorasco have largely abandoned their nomadic tribal roots and become firmly enmeshed in the culture and society of the Five Nations.
The Last War[]
The Last War was financially good for House Jorasco and they made a fortune healing the soldiers of every nation and army and keeping armies on their feet. However, the end of the war may be even more lucrative as the halflings of Jorasco extend ongoing care to those injured or permanently disabled during the war.
