House Jhaltero is one of the noble houses of Kintargo's aristocracy. It is led by Canton Jhaltero, Baron of Whiterock.

History

Prior to the Kintargan Rebellion of 4715–4716 AR, House Jhaltero were more loyal to the city of Kintargo than Cheliax or House Thrune. They were one of the nine houses of the prominent Court of Coin, and after the Rebellion also gained a seat on the Silver Council.

House Jhaltero's business interests are in silver and stone quarries to the south of Kintargo in the foothills of the Menador Mountains. Their holdings include the city of Whiterock and the Summershade Quarry. They also maintain a powerful intelligence network, and members of the House are known to have a knack for information gathering.

House Jhaltero also has a presence in the former Chelaxian capital of Westcrown, where they are considered to be within the sphere of influence of the more powerful House Dioso.
