Great House of the Emirate of Uryula, lands on the western seaboard including the great port and Al-Hakim University. Leaders of the Modernists — and Farraj’s house.

Family

  • Ihab al-Rabi, Emir of Uryula
    • His wife, Ismat al-Fahd (House al-Fahd tie)
    • His 1st son, Faiz
    • His 2nd son, Ghalib
    • His daughters: Hafsa, Hala, Hamida

Farraj belongs to a minor cadet branch of the house, not the main line — his father is a different Ihab than the Emir. (GM)

Also of the house: Rasia al-Rabi (attending lady to Princess Ensah, “distant cousin” to Farraj), and the late Inaya al-Rabi, wife of Salmaan ayd-Bara.

Politics

  • Lead the Modernists: update traditions and tactics for current conditions; long history of good relations with the West; accepting of immigrants; friendliest of all houses toward the Dwarves. (S2)
  • Supportive of Prince Ikram (pragmatic) and approving of Princess Ensah; worried about losing gains to the Conservatives/Separatists. (S2)
