Szuszalan

In her time, Szuszalan slew an evil dragon and destroyed a vile lich, and she won much treasure over her life. But eventually the gems lost their allure and the gold lost its gleam, and her victories grew dull. In time, she retired from the adventuring life.
In her old age, Szuszalan settled in the Chauntean abbey-town of Goldenfields. She wrote her biography, Walking on a Swordblade, in the . In it, she reflected that it was the companionship and sense of having what was truly hers that she remembered most fondly.
