Originally a Master Sergeant[1] in charge of training the Capan recruits to the Grey Swords, Norul became a captain under Shield Anvil Itkovian.[2] She was described as a grizzled woman with large scarred hands.[3]
In Memories of Ice
Norul was with the Grey Swords during the Siege of Capustan. She was left behind with the Eleventh Mane of Grey Sword recruits when Mortal Sword Brukhalian and his soldiers were led into an ambush by the traitorous Rath'Fener. Afterwards, Itkovian promoted her to captain and she arranged the recruits into formation for the Shield Anvil's attack on Jelarkan's Palace.[2]
After successfully driving out Anaster and his Tenescowri, Itkovian marched his forces to the Thrall to confront their order's betrayer. The Shield Anvil ordered Norul to seize Rath'Fener and she held him down as Itkovian invoked Fener's Reve and cut off his hands as punishment for his crimes.[4]
Norul became Shield Anvil of the Grey Swords after Itkovian passed the mantle to her. With Fener's death, the order swore themselves to Togg and Fanderay, becoming the Grey Swords of the Wolf's Reve. She then asked Silverfox to free the T'lan Ay, as children of the wolf-gods, but Silverfox refused saying that she would only consider the request if it came from Togg and Fanderay themselves.[5]
