Helva "the Wise Woman"
Description
Helva "the Wise Woman", who is known as "mother Helva" by all villagers, was born in Maplewood in the Year of the Saddle (1345 DR). When she was six years old, she was fetched by mother Jhandess and taken away from the thorp. In the Year of the Banner (1368 DR), at the age of 23 years, Helva returned to the thorp and has lived there since. She is the midwife, and also the local healer, of the thorp and the neighborings thorps and hamlets. Helva has a special relation to all children and each newborn children is blessed by her.

Although she is an adept of Lathander, for some unknown reason, Helva has never told the villagers that. They do not know which power of Faerūn she serves, and they have nevered dared to ask. Still, Helva is a highly respected member of the community and few decisions are taken without asking for her opinion. She never requires payment for her services, but she does accept gifts. And, although the potions that she keeps at her home are never for sell, she does give them away if necessary.
She has several times been summoned by Josura Hlammel (NG female Tethyrian human Priest 14 of Lathander) to the Healing House of Lathander, the local temple in Scornubel, but she has never honored a call.

Helva has fair skin, black long hair, and brown eyes. She wears usually a simple dress.
