== Biography ==
=== Early life ===
Ula was born in Helmont in 240 AG to a farming family, where she grew an interest in her parents' trade and frequently expressed a willingness to understand how law fed into the farming trade. In her late teens, she studied Law & Judicial Practice at the Capital University of Oparo alongside future matriarch of Helmont, Bellryth Fyth (whom she befriended). After concluding her studies at the University in 261 AG, she rose through the rigid judicial hierarchy of the Capital, moving primarily between different tribunals. By 271 AG, she found herself in the advisory council for incumbent Helmontan judge, Darton Sheriff, in the Provicinal Court. During this time, she was introduced by mutual friends to Esteriacos Daeys of the noble House Daeys, a prestigious family in the Capital second only to House Euphratuman. The couple married in 273 AG. They had one son, Casteron Daeys, born in 275 AG.
=== Judge in the Provincial Court ===
Ula was selected by Gullryth and Bellryth Fyth to represent her home kingdom of Helmont in the Provincial Court as its high judge in 287 AG, upon the retirement of Darton Sheriff. Accepting this, Ula enjoyed a successful career in the court and became known for her lengthy speeches on matters before casting her vote. This earned her a great deal of respect amongst her council (of which she had previously been a member of) and some other kingdoms' judges. She retired in 300 AG after electing to use the experience she had accrued after 34 years working in the Court to educate in the Capital University of Oparo.
=== Later life ===
After tutoring in Law & Judicial Practice in the University for some time, Ula published scrolls which along with her illustrious career found favour with the Scholars' Collective. In 305 AG, she was officially admitted into the Collective, and was known to attend all its events and share her academic work.
== Family ==
Her Helmontan lineage, though unremarkable, equipped her with skills of persistence and determination, allowing her to emancipate herself in the rigid hierarchy of the Capital. Marrying into the prestigious House Daeys elevated her position further, bringing her a highly favourable perception.
