Holy Uldra
Holy Uldra (NE female halfling, cleric 7 Balinor) serves as lath to a small but powerful tribe of approximately eighty halflings. She believes that she has been chosen by the God of Beasts and the Hunt to lead the halflings back to the traditions and values they have abandoned (at least in her eyes). Members of all tribes come to hear the charismatic cleric preach whenever she attends a gathering of tribes or visits Gatherhold. She has not yet begun to overtly challenge the notion of a unified halfling nation, but her exhortations intimate that following the path of the Five Nations is wrong and goes against the spirits of their tribal ancestors and the beasts with which they share the Plains. She also rails against the dragonmarked houses for abandoning the ancient traditions of the tribes. Holy Uldra has the ability to cause trouble in the Plains, and her own ambitions as a prophet and chief could spread that trouble into the nations beyond. Some foreign powers, recognizing this potential destabilizing point in the Talenta Plains, have begun exploring ways to take advantage of the situation. The Royal Eyes of Aundair, for example, see Holy Uldra as a means for eventually striking at Karrnath, and so their agents have started making overtures to the cleric and her tribe.
