Heren d’Ghallanda is a bard trained in the songs and drumming techniques of the Talenta Plains. He’s often found performing at The Chapterhouse, but he has another role in Stormreach. Using his hat of disguise, he spends a lot of his time monitoring businesses licensed by Ghallanda, making sure that they are living up to the standards of the house. He has developed a number of undercover identities, in addition to making up new disguises on the spur of the moment. Over the course of his work, he hears many things; like Sorala, he could be an excellent source of information if someone earns his trust.

Every rule has its exception, and Torchfire’s reputation for lowbrow entertainment is broken by Gailan’s. The model of the restaurant and dinner theater (copied extensively in Middle Menthis particularly) originated with the innovation of Gailan Uthran (N male half-orc expert 7), who felt he could put on better shows if the audiences had something to do besides heckle the performers. His idea has clearly worked, and performing in Gailan’s is now the dream of every chorus member in Ten Torches—the first step toward a successful musical career.
