Drorry Raine

The bucktoothed halfling, Drorry, arrived in Sanctuary at some time. She felt so lost not knowing if it was day or night, the warm sun so far from her skin. It had all happened so fast.

With her friend Rothe, who she named Hamat, she eventually arrived in Sanctuary. Seeking a new druidic circle in the Underdark, or perhaps to form her own, she has set out on her journey of adventure and good-doing. Clearly the balance is upset here, by all of the evil...
