It happened one day that Maran Drissa asked for Aurew's assistance with a
personal matter unrelated to the Fortress. Aurew had tried to glean some bit
of history from Drissa previously as to what drove her to pursue the Fortress,
but all Drissa could say was she was good at fighting and wanted to lend her
support against evil. In time they touched on religion, and Drissa was some-
what surprised to hear of Aurew's preferences. So it came as something of a
surprise to Aurew when Drissa requested Aurew's aid in reaching out to Lord
Rahsael.

Drissa, as it turned out, had a vast void in her memory. She remembered only
waking up face down in the dirt and shrubbery of the Vale of Arendyl. Beyond
this, all she had to go on was a strange book with dates from a future age
far beyond this one, as well as strange dreams or visions. And so Drissa
sought out Aurew, in hopes Lord Rahsael would assist them.

So Aurew met with Drissa in the Cathedral of Loss. She listened, perplexed at
the story unfolding but also recognizing one thing: Drissa wouldn't find what
she sought. They reasoned and devised plans, but Aurew told Drissa that she
should not hold onto the past so tightly, because it would keep her from her
present. Drissa's memories were lost, and she had become the intense, focused
warrior of light without them. If she regained them, what then? Would she
change? Be somehow less? Aurew cautioned against the path that walks backward
but instead to move forward. Perhaps for Drissa, the past was left in the
ether.
