Drusilla Veyl grew up navigating the narrow alleys and shadowy markets of Seregon’s Old Knot District, a place where the line between survival and opportunity is razor-thin. Raised by a single mother who ran a modest herb shop, Drusilla learned early on how to read people, handle tough negotiations, and recognize the silent, intricate exchanges of power that govern the world. When a wealthy merchant falsely accused her mother of dealing in black market substances, young Drusilla managed to argue her case before the district magistrate. Impressed, the magistrate arranged for Drusilla to study law as an apprentice, leading her to eventually found her own practice.
But Drusilla’s ascent is not merely a tale of hard work and brilliance; it is woven with darker, otherworldly threads. During her early years as a lawyer, Drusilla found herself drawn to the secrets and mysteries of infernal law, culminating in a dangerous journey to Hell itself. There, she came under the mentorship of The Agency known as the Eighth City Advocacy Services, a devilish consortium based in the shadowed alleys of the Eighth City, a legendary demiplane of Hell dedicated to the highest (and darkest) forms of legal advocacy.
Drusilla’s affiliation with the Eighth City Advocacy Services became an open secret in Seregon’s legal and mercantile communities. Her office features a modest lobby and a private, windowless back room that most of her clients never see. But for those with truly perilous, high-stakes contracts—and the courage to make a deal with devils—Drusilla offers access to a door that doesn’t lead into any room within the office. Instead, it opens into a narrow corridor lined with velvet wallpaper and eerie sconces that flicker with infernal flames, transporting visitors to a plush demiplane of Hell.
