Roana

Roana was one of the survivors of Frosthorn Hold to make her home within Sigehold. She fell with her husband and fellow Sigeholders at the Winter Solstice of 379.

History
Roana was originally of Frosthorn Hold, a Hold located on the Frosthorns, some of the tallest mountains in the southern ranges of Skarsind. The Hold was known for it's Changelings and the hammer, Frostforge. This celebration of her lineage instilled confidence in Roana from an early age. She was close friends, throughout childhood, with Thandral, the heir to Frostforge and Frosthorn. In adolescence that friendship blossomed into romance but she was separated from him in the Thule's taking of Skarsind and became a Thule slave.. The massacre at the Frosthorns was known as one of the Thule's worst atrocities. Frosthorn was deliberately destroyed by it's Thane, in an effort to fight against the overwhelming Thule forces.

Joining the Hall
Roana did not discover that Thandral and Ulwen still lived until Skarsind was retaken and she was freed. She heard word of him alive after the skirmish that finished the majority of his unit, the Talon Sworn. She made her way to Anvil to find him with the rest of his unit (including Ulwen, Eeva Sigeing and Veikko) in order to give the news of their recent defeat to Jussi only to discover that Jussi had himself fallen in the Battle of Ikka's Tears.

Time in Anvil
Roana quickly became known as one of the most forthright members of Sigehold.She and Thandral married soon after becoming established within Sigehold, and indeed were the first wedding to take place after their settlement within Skarsind. This celebration was a much needed period of gaiety and levity within a hold founded upon tragedy and merited two entries within the Book of Sigehold. As with the other survivors of Frosthorn Hold she found the gifting of Skarsind a difficult matter and continued arguing the point long after others of Sigehold were resigned to it. She particularly exchanged words with Theo Kelvinsson on the matter and both she and Thandral became known as The Argueing Changelings for a time.

Death
She fell, fighting bravely to the last, alongside Thane Ardith, Laughing Wulfric, Steward Elva, Theo "Brassballs", and her husband and sister-in-law, Thandral Proudhart and Ulwen, the Wolf of the Mark, at the Winter Solstice of 379.
