Latha oversees the boardinghouse, a place for individuals seeking long-term lodging in the town. He charges 1 gold piece a week, which is cheaper than the Old Skull inn, but the accommodations are not as nice as those of the Old Skull. Latha's wife died over a decade ago in the Year of the Arch (1353 DR), leaving him to raise his two daughters Ester, Emra, and Ilil (the last two are known for their beauty). Latha seems to be continually bedraggled and exhausted, a state brought about my his aunt, Uda, a crusty old matriarch that keeps Latha and his daughters hopping.
