Karsa Orlong's mother

Karsa Orlong's mother was a member of the Uryd clan of the Teblor. She was the wife of Synyg Orlong (Karsa's father) and the daughter-in-law of Pahlk Orlong (Karsa's grandfather).House of Chains, Chapter 1, US TPB p.30-33
==In House of Chains==
Karsa's mother had been dead for an unknown period by the time that Karsa was a young Teblor warrior of eighty years of age.House of Chains, Chapter 1, US TPB p.30/33 She had been the mother of four sons and a daughter, but only one, her youngest son Karsa, still survived – the other four children having had to be sacrificed to the Teblor gods because they had been deemed 'imperfect' by those gods (i.e., they were born with some form of major or very minor birth defect).House of Chains, Chapter 1, US TPB p.34/35House of Chains, Chapter 17, US TPB p.447
At some point in her life she developed a very negative opinion of the Teblor gods and of the Teblor warriors' glorification of seemingly senseless and endless violence to everyone not a member of the Uryd – opinions which she had apparently been open enough about to convince her husband (at least) of their validity and to cause her father-in-law to call her “that damned woman” to Synyg's face. This openness of her non-conformist beliefs led the Teblor gods to think her a true threat to the general status quo and to decide that she deserved being 'dealt with' by extreme measures (not specifically described, but presumably dire in nature).House of Chains, Chapter 1, US TPB p.35-37
