She resolved that she would not rest until she'd made amends for each of the lives she had traded away, and she began to travel the Eastern Reach in search of ways to help the surviving relations of her lost adventuring company. She led it to the hollow where the rest of her companions waited, and as the dragon turned on them, she fled.Īfter escaping the alpine dragon, Ryona was overwhelmed with guilt. Yet she promised it a larger meal if only it would spare her. The beast was too lean, and its eyes burned with hunger when it looked at Ryona. Yet instead of shelter, she found a young alpine dragon. After hours of trudging through the snow, Ryona stumbled into a cave. She wandered into the storm, barely able to see the hand in front of her face. While the rest of the party camped in the lee of a cliff, Ryona was sent to scout a way ahead. The snows continued for days, and their provisions dwindled. Yet their guide fell ill, and they became hopelessly lost in a blizzard. She traveled with a team of historians and treasure-hunters intent on breaching Durgan's Battery.
That changed after an expedition to the White March. For years, she was one of the most sought-after warriors in the Eastern Reach. Ryona won the duel by default and kept the belt as a memento.Īfter Ryona established her reputation as a fighter, she began joining adventuring expeditions. He gave her his belt, with his sheathed rapier still attached to it, effectively disarming himself. He meant it as an insult to her skill, but when Ryona asked for his belt, he realized his mistake. When they had assembled in the arena, he offered to give her one piece of his armor before the fight began.
Ryona could not refuse and save face, so she accepted. One day, her chief rival-the nephew of one of the ducs bels-challenged her to a duel. But she was clever, and she practiced much. Many of her fellow students came from wealthy, local families, but she was poor and foreign. When Ryona was young, she trained at a martial academy in Ozia, where she struggled at first. She was slated to make an appearance in Beast of Winter as a recruitable spirit- sidekick, however this was cut and she was replaced with Vatnir. Long after, she vowed revenge on the dragon, venturing to the march once more - never to be seen again.
Ryona ended her career early after giving up her expedition group to a dragon in the White March in exchange for her own life. She found her calling running with expedition companies in the Dyrwood. Ryona was a legendary adventurer who hailed from the Vailian Republics and traveled Eora in search of wealth and fame.
