As part of Drakar tradition, young scouts are dropped into the woods and expected to survive overnight, typically returning within 3-4 days to prove their resilience and skill. However, when Svala was assigned this challenge, she remained in the wilderness for two full years. Believed lost and assumed dead by her clan, she actually thrived in isolation, finding a deep sense of peace and belonging in nature. Svala only returned after a chance encounter with Thressyl, another Drakar, who stumbled upon her camp. Startled and driven by instinct, she chased Thressyl all the way back to the Drakar camp, where her people were shocked to see her alive.
• Notable Events: Svala’s two-year survival in the wilds cemented her reputation as an extraordinary scout. Her ability to stay hidden, track game, and navigate the terrain made her a legend within the Drakar Raiders. Her skills have since proven invaluable, especially after she intercepted and neutralized a group of intruders attempting to infiltrate Drakar territory.

Svala secretly longs to leave the Drakar Raiders and return to the wilderness, where she felt truly at peace. The call of the forest and solitude tugs at her, reminding her of the harmony she found during her two years alone in the wild. However, she harbors unrequited feelings for the Drakar Champion, which complicates her desire to leave. Despite her admiration and longing, the Champion remains unaware of her affection, leaving her torn between the pull of the wilderness and a bond that only she feels. This internal conflict is something she keeps hidden from everyone, as she fears revealing her desires could lead to rejection or isolation from her people.
