Victaria Drumm

Victaria Drumm is the middle child of Lord Meldred Drumm and his wife, Lady Gysela. Amidst the civil war now coined the Black Prophet's Rebellion, Victaria mutinied and usurped her elder brother to take the seat of Old Wyk. Since 434 A.C she has ruled as its Lady.

Hailing from controversy even before the outbreak of war, House Drumm were the foremost critics of the reformist Dagon Greyjoy. Initially driven by the zeal of an ardently religious father, the paradigm of the Bone Hand as a defender of the Drowned God’s exacting importance in society persisted into the rule of his son and heir, Harren. This precedent was ended only with Victaria's ascent to the seat of Old Wyk.

For four years after deposing her brother,  Victaria has served loyally beneath the new Lord Reaper, distinguishing herself as a talented tactician and a resolute - if occasionally reckless - commander. In Old Wyk her policies have reflected the need for recovery following wartime, with copious efforts poured into economic and martial restoration. Thus far, she has governed with a stern hand, employing a fervor befitting the ruler of the most holy island. She wields her house’s ancestral steel, Red Rain.

Appearance & Character
Brash and often lacking in tact, Victaria inherited an above average height and the typical wild looks of the Ironborn. Dark features dominate a sharp, angular face - tawny eyes and burnished tresses. Hallmarks of the true salt running fast through her veins, reflected in the uncompromising wit of her demeanour. Too easily however does wit turn humour to derision, and the Lady of Old Wyk is well noted for her hot-headed tendencies.

Carrying herself with no small measure of self esteem, her presence is dogmatic in both nature and delivery. Where many would wrap iron salt in silk, diminishing its acidity, Victaria embraces the rigours to be found in a society dominated by men.

Defined by an unscrupulous dedication to maintaining a physique fit for combat, lean muscle has left her absent the softness of matrons and mothers. A trained swordsman, the sturdiness of her build reflects life in the islands; a frame marred already by the toils of war, blemished by those that sought her blood to pay the iron price. Rarely is she seen bereft of Red Rain, the hilt never far from her fingers.
