When he came of age, he was given his father's anti-fire shield and eventually prevailed in his trials by using it to confront a real dragon in it's cave, withstanding it's firebreath until it grew frustrated and skulked off, at which point he recovered one of it's fallen scales from the ground and took it before the council of Elders, winning the vote into manhood unanimously (this is how he tells it, of course). His father Ysruald was proud of him, and inducted him into the Robertssworn, a small party of Fremmeniks who devoted their lives to the hatred of Dragons in honor of Robert the Strong. As Robertsson, Ruald learned how to combat the dragons, how to evade them, and how to protect from them. He also spent time learning of their purported history, especially pertaining to the Dragonkin. In the aftermath of V's death at the hands of the Dragonkin, Ruald has wandered the land looking for a weapon with which to combat them. He has long since forgotten the danger the dragons pose in favor of attempting to stop their malevolent creators.
