Imtura Tal Kaelen
Ventra is Imtura's mother. Ventra wants her daughter to stop her foolish ways and come back to Flotilla to learn to rule and take her place as the heir.

Vantissa
While Ventra has the reputation and the legend behind her of uniting the Orc Clans, not all Orcs are happy with her leadership. In Chapter 3, Vantissa mentions that Ventra made it clear what sort of people were welcome in her new order and that did not include people like her. However, clan politics and problems are beyond Vantissa's station in life and she does not worry herself over them.
