The person
Kelda tends the foxglove garden and measures doses more carefully than her cousins measure political loyalties. She suspects the heart damage suffered by heat-workers cannot be separated from the warmth taken from their bodies. Her notes contain the name of a royal patient. She has replaced it with a drawing of the affected pulse.
Place in the family
A child of Anja Rusk and Eirik Rusk; part of the youngest recorded generation of House Rusk.
Eirik married Anja after guiding her rescue crew through ice that neither of them could see.
The Rusks earned the marchwardenship by maintaining winter shelters, not by possessing the largest estate.
Anja governs through rescue obligations rather than parade orders.
Surveyors found warm water beneath old ice and collected the jar now examined in Garnetrun.
Hedra records the sound of furnace valves by making notches in a wooden flute.
Meret married into the crown while working as a nursery grafting apprentice.
