Ginang  is the head of House Lumas, a Mahaan house in Jrusar. As an NPC, is played by Matthew Mercer.

Appearance
Ela Lumas is a human woman in her late 50s to early 60s with russet skin. She is described as having "a calm beauty and a silent strength" and as carrying herself with weight. Each time the soon-to-be-named Bells Hells spoke with her at the Lumas estate, she was wearing a white dress and veil in mourning in a style indicating her wealth and station.

Background
Ela Lumas is the head of House Lumas, a Mahaan house living the in Lucent Spire of Jrusar. As matriarch of the house, she is titled as "Ginang". She is the member of the family who largely deals with the Chandei Quorum and the other Mahaan houses, and she kept her twin children, Balan and Zeyar Lumas, away from complicated politics.

Campaign 3
Ela arranged a meeting, through Ariks Eshteross between Orym and her family's bodyguard Oshad Breshio. She greeted Orym and the soon-to-be-named Bells Hells at the gate upon their arrival and, after confirming Orym's intent was to find those responsible for the attack, welcomed them into her home to speak with Oshad. She remained present in the room while they spoke. As the group left, she assured them that she will keep in contact with Eshteross and the group and, upon advice that she go out for a massage, good-naturedly mused that perhaps she shouldn't wallow.

The party soon visited her again when Imogen Temult discovered that the twins were researching dreams and that research books were missing pages. They requested to look through the twins' notes, and she granted them permission. When Imogen did not find any related research, she asked Ela if all of her children's belongings were returned with them from the Heartmoor. Ela said that everything was returned as far as she knew and that she did not think Estani, a family friend with the twins when they were killed, would not return something. Orym told her that the group intended to travel to the Heartmoor, and she gave him her pin of the family crest to show to Estani as proof they are friends to House Lumas.

She and Oshad later attended the masquerade ball.
