Drusana was born in the Griff Mountains to a tribe that guards the mountain borders of Stonehold.
At age 16 she joined her tribe’s Frozen River Watch organization, and after a few years was assigned to serve as the Watch’s laison with the Rheltsarme in Vlekstaad. There she served in the City Guard under Captain Julian Helstrom. She became close friends with Megan Wadock, another female member of the City Guard. Near the end of Drusana’s term in the city, Megan was murdered in the house she and Drusana kept together. The murderer remains at large.
After her time in Vlekstaad was done, Drusana returned home and was assigned a new task — to wander the lands beyond the Griff Mountains and Stonehold, and bring back the knowledge she gained from her travels.
HEr travels have so far gotten her as far as Restenford in the Furyondy, where she has been earning coin for a time among the city guard there. After the recent assassination of the Duke, she accompaned Inspector Caruso of Restenford, along with a contingent of several other guards and two other persons (William and Nicole) to Garroten, to arrest the Mayor there on suspicion of orchestrating the assassination. The arrest attempt was successful, though one of the Restenford guards was killed.
