She’s hired as a mercenary by a foreign lord.

Gwen traveled far from home. She battled bandits, monsters, and orca to get where she is today. But for now she tires off the road, and takes a mercenary job from a minor lord in kingdom far from her home. She repelled a small orc ambush on his carriage, and he hired her on the spot.
