Toval Argensente is a descendant of the Norfeld, a tribal people who migrated south from the Ice Wilds millennia ago. Her pure-blooded Norfeld features—ice-white skin, hair, and eyes—are a rarity these days, especially in the kingdoms of Lensing.
Toval is a lieutenant in the Auerstel soldiery, and is responsible for training new recruits. Pendrake has never taken to his training and, as such, has become a constant thorn in Toval's side.
As far as Toval is concerned, Pendrake's noble status means nothing on the training grounds, and she disciplines his lack of commitment as harshly as she would any other soldier under her command.
