Vhala

Vhala is an Unwoman, an acquaintance of High Priestess Sarai who leads a battalion of the Holy Knights of Ardoheim. Although her kind is feared by most, she personally seems to be respected and even liked by the people.

When questioned by Aka, she claims that her transformation into an Unwoman was her choice and she's never regretted it. She doesn't forgive those that forced others to be changed against their wishes, though.

Despite Unpeople being an invention of the Desecrationist faction, Vhala's personal views seem to be somewhat idiosyncratic - in a conversation, she expresses something like a Consecrationist sentiment, but she also admits some acceptance of Sarai's "Subsecrationist ways". Nevertheless, as Sarai herself put it:

Story
The party is urged to contact her by Sarai, to learn more about an upcoming proposal at the Arclent Summit for the full mobilization of the Unmen and Unwomen, which will be defended by High Priestess Hester, due to the influence of Andra and the Desecrationist faction. In Ardford, the group tries to reach out to her and learn her opinion of the Church's plans, but they are unceremoniously dismissed. When you retire to your rooms, she will follow you there and after a very tense situation she will learn Simon's secret.
