Haral (bonecutter)

Haral was a grey-haired Kanese Bonecutter in the army of King Chulalorn the Third. She possessed no talent in Denul healing magic, instead serving as a mechanic of flesh skilled at saving lives with more practical means. She was assisted by four burly lads.Dancer's Lament, Chapter 19, US HC p.355-357
==In Dancer's Lament==
Haral struggled to tend to the large numbers of Kanese soldiers wounded during the siege of Li Heng. Many had been severely burned by the magic of the city's ruler, the Protectress. Her work was interrupted by the arrival of Iko, one of the king's personal bodyguards. Iko had to struggle to convince the bonecutter that she only wanted to help, not force Haral to abandon her work and attend the king. Haral begrudgingly assigned Iko to the difficult but relatively simple task of performing amputations, leaving Haral time to take on more difficult work.
At twilight, Haral returned and tenderly cared for the numbed and exhausted Iko. She gave the Sword-Dancer a cup of medicated tea that she herself imbibed to get through days and nights of such work. The grateful healer asked Iko if she ever thought of training to be a cutter.
