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)
