Maege Drumm

Halleck Drumm

Corlys Celtigar

**Maege Drumm** is a cousin of Urragon X Drumm, the High King of the Iron Islands. The daughter of the king's cunning steward - his uncle, Wulfgar Drumm - Maege has followed in her father's elusive footsteps. She works closely with both the Queen, Lyanna Greyjoy, and her charismatic brother Halleck.

## Appearance and Character

Short and scrawny, the High King's young cousin hardly resembles the warriors for which their house is known. Typically favoring dull, simple garments at home, the refined and highborn Maege can be easily mistaken for a common woman at a close glance. Likewise, her naturally pretty face is seldom heightened by makeup, and her dark hair typically hangs loose and untidy. Despite her apparent asceticism, however, Maege keenly understands the value of appearances. During formal occasions, she never neglects to look as glamorous as she can.

Contradictions are at the very essence of Maege Drumm. She is worldly and intellectual but immovably pious; she is knowledgeable at war but ill-suited for fighting; her general demeanor intersperses an aristocratic sensibility with ironborn coarseness. Versatility remains her greatest strength, even as she begins to fulfill increasingly specific roles in her service to her house.

## History

The third of Wulfgar Drumm's four children, Maege was privileged to enjoy the kinder side of a man known for his work in the shadows. Decidedly at the bottom of her family's broader hierarchy, she was fated to be the least among a house of modest strength - but Lodos Drumm's usurpation of the crown elevated all of his kin along with him.

Proving herself to be clever at an early age, Maege's many interests and aspirations were never discouraged by her father. She was easily captivated by stories and legends, and though she lacked any natural fitness for swordplay, Maege's passion for the Islands' history and faith continued to grow.

By the time of her adolescence, curiosity gave way to exploration. Utilizing her small stature, she developed an often unwelcome habit of eavesdropping from Drumm castle's dankest corners. Her talent at remaining unseen, however, did not escape the notice of Lyanna Greyjoy, then the wife of the king's heir. The two grew close, with Lyanna providing Maege with another mentor and another maternal figure, and Maege keeping Lyanna abreast of all that happened within the walls of Old Wyk. This partnership became all the more productive after Urragon's succession to the throne in 89 AC.

When she came of age, however, she began to look beyond her home island. After developing a close report with a number of priests - most noticeably Cromm Kingmaker, the Harbinger of the Drowned God - she took to frequently accompanying them on their travels. Though women remained forbidden from priesthood, Maege was allowed to assist in a wide array of their duties. These experiences acquainted her with members of numerous houses throughout the Iron Islands, providing her with much needed practice in the diplomatic tact she had learned from the Queen.

After a few years, her voluntary service to the priesthood became infrequent; Maege instead began joining her younger brother Halleck, who had just come of age, in his diplomatic duties. To the surprise of some, she proved naturally suitable to the task, owing equally to her ironborn credentials and her familiarity with foreign customs.

## Recent Events

News has arrived of the last dragon's death, and all the nobility of Westeros - even the ironborn - are invited to pay their respects. Following the cue of her younger brother, Halleck, she prepares to travel with him to King's Landing to serve as representatives of the High King.
