Jokubas Atwater (pronounced joe-KOO-bahs) was the old man running Urda's House during the blue pox epidemic in 1036 KF. He had a daughter, who also seemed to know something about healing and who joined Briar, Rosethorn and Henna on their floor in Urda's House to help care for the sick there on late afternoon of the 8th day of Sap Moon. He only appeared in Briar's Book.
