Having returned from her 81 years of "field research" in Xen`drik, Cassaitropeya strikes a flamboyant figure, even in the cosmopolitan crowds of the City of Towers. If by any chance a person she chanced upon had just a passing knowledge of the Drow natives of Xen`drik, it could easily identify the 7 feathers of Belonging that she wears in her golden hair. Perhaps to a Xen`drik scholar of Korranberg or Morgrave her obsidian armband would mean that she is a member of the Yaraa`ch Confederacy, a peculiar honor to see on an apperant outsider to the Tribes. But one would need to be a true master of the subject to see the unmistakeable sign - the Charnag shard earings, that make her a Talthalra(councillor) to the Overchief T`xeak Yaraa`ch.

Along her side walks a nimble drow male called Xurr`ut, a proud warrior of Xen`drik, adding panache to her disturbing presence.

Of her past little is known outiside Zilargo, where she is not deemed welcome anymore. But has enough time passed for the Trust to forget, and allow her social ressurection to go unmolested? Cassaitropeya is about to find out.
