Personal history

Ingal was born on XI) 337,1,21 under the Coins to a shipwright in Cothique called Eislegol. In the calendar of the Human "Empire" the birthdate would be 2460 on the 6th of Ulriczeit. Cothique was a superstitious place that possessed a people who were hardened by the rare raids of Dark Elves and Norsemen. The waters beyond their shores churn with vicious Leviathans and monsters waiting there to test any ship. Ingal grew upon this chilled land the younger of two siblings; his sister was Eneshar the Pleasant, a lady of one of the under-palaces' courts. His brother, Ereshal the Swift, takes long sojourns as a hunter raiding ships across the whole of Ulthuan's outer coasts.
As with most of Cothique's people Ingal possessed a strong wanderlust. Even further than that, Ingal had an innate curiosity going to reaches that even the long-lived adults are cautious to tread. He would on occasion explore the outer halls of previously sunken courts and palaces always bringing some charm or piece of comfort with him. Perhaps this strangeness came from his father who seemed to have no want to leave their home and rarely went down to see the majesty of the underground castles. His mother, Shargenai the Fair, tried to live near to Eislegol as much as possible although it sometimes had to be cut with her duties as a Sorceress. Whatever magical abilities she possessed seemed to flow into his sister, though how much she has developed it not known to Ingal.
After cutting his teeth on Cothique's treacherous waves Ingal left for open waters. He travelled about the world finding that Humans both sated and inflamed his curiosity. This led to him spending much of his time looking over their lands picking up rumors through his voyages. His remembrance of how savage and barbaric the Norse behave have kept him from fully exploring Norsca though it did not quinch his curiosity. The dwarfs did however sate his curiosity very quickly after running into a particular hold on coast filled with aging and, frankly, misled warriors. The dwarfs quickly established their history with the constant referral to Bearded War. This did nothing more than sour Ingal's mood and leave him furious with them. Ingal grew tired of the dwarfs' inane chattering after a day, especially the laziest dwarf Bronn, and left for other waters and opportunities. Perhaps things will be more fortuitous for his mind and meeting of one of those dwarfs. He'll make sure to make fun of any clan member he meets in the world.
Eventually, Ingal travelled to Tilea after a detour in Araby for trade. There he found good work in the shipping lanes and the occasional privateering contract. Ingal found that Tilean cuisine was especially delightful to the senses. He enjoyed his stay there despite the violence that seems to plague the city states and waters there. His wanderlust calling, he started moving inwards working among mercenaries for money in Tilea then doing whatever odd job called in during his travels. Ingal found himself walking the Reik Basin, mayhap he shall visit one of their greater cities or the deeper recesses of his forest cousins. Unfortunately, his coffers run low and even elves must eat. Ingal finds himself doing a protection job for ill-spoken Bretonnian knight. The only companionship on the job being a Stirland mercenary. It will be a long trip; Ingal might as well make some small talk.

Failed to stop Rudi from performing brain surgery of an amnesiac, Wolfgang. Due to fear that Rudi and Gretchen were possibly kidnappers.

Morality & Philosophy

He sees Humanity as something to protect and nurture like a nascent child or more likely a diseased animal of nature. Something that is beset by a plague or disease that must be eradicated. Ingal wishes for the humans to grow out of their brutality ,but doesn't think they ever will. He usually sees them more as a silly curiosity in more relaxed environs. Cares not for their laws.
Ingal feels ambivalent to the brutality and violence given to one another, but tends to be against it if he feels like there was no wrong doing beforehand. Doesn't like the destruction of true innocents. Anything that reminds him of the raiders of his homeland he hates and abhors. Like kidnappers.

The Journal Entry’s title

by The Diligent Ingal

(22,22,99)"I don't know what these numbers mean but I know they have to do with last night. I don't quite call much of what happened. I think I won the uman bed prize, wasn't exactly worth the hangover but it's better than the floor.

I think Mr. Rudi hit Mr. Grim with something."
