Lady Elvira Calvestra (a.k.a. Ingemar)
Elvira is the literal embodiment of storms and the sea. She is the Patron Goddess of Keltosil, who decreed that whoever has the ability and charisma to unite the realm under one banner shall rise to Lordship. The patron deity of Kings, Queens, and Conquerors, she is a goddess with the fury of a hurricane. While not a presence in her home realm, she does have followers in another realm, Ragnias. There, she is known as Ingemar, the Mistress of the Stríðstímar, and First Wife of Hrothmund, the Ragniasi God of War.

Physical Description
Lean, yet very well built for her size. On foot, she is believed to not be as agile as she could, but give her a horse and she will weave a path of devastation through a marching host. She often is depicted with broader shoulders in temples dedicated to her, to appear more masculine, however, a more common depiction of her is a subtle hourglass figure.
Fair-skinned with wild, pale blonde hair.
She is marked by a coiled serpent tattoo across her body, which glows and hums as she calls upon the Storm.
Harbinger of the Storm- Wherever Ingemar walks, violent storms soon follow.
Fury of the Hurricane- Rarely seen, all the storms of creation loose their fury upon the battlefield in times of great distress.
In Ragnias, she is depicted as a mounted archer, donning a scale shirt with a large, white fur mantle, and a tailcoat made of the leather membrane that was once the Great Dragon's wings. Her arms are bare to show the serpent tattoo, the head of the serpent upon her bow hand. Her arrows are said to hum and spark with the intensity of a thousand thunderbolts. In other realms, she bears ranged arms and equipment native to the realm that worship her.
Struniik- Ingemar's Bow, which she uses to cast Lightning down upon the earth
Thukriin- Ingemar's personal steed, an eight-legged creature that she crafted from untamed fury. He who rides Thukriin will ride from atop clouds and the steed's hooves letting loose rain from within storms.
Volgokaaz- a leaf-shaped blade, said to be made of pure starlight, a Gift from Hrothmund when he wished to make her his bride. It supposedly is capable of cutting through granite as if it were air
Mental characteristics
Elvira Calvestra — The First Sovereign
Known to the Ragniasi as Ingemar, Goddess of Storms and Conquest
Before she was revered as a goddess, Elvira Calvestra was a mortal general, a tactician, and one of the greatest minds of the age. A native of the republic of Vel Ardyn, Elvira rose to prominence not through birthright, but through brilliance—uniting warring city-states and fractured banners into a cohesive force during the great rebellion against the Fireborn.
Elvira fought not for vengeance, but for continuity. While others saw only the fall of tyranny, she envisioned what must come after—a world ruled not by flame or fear, but by structure, concord, and clarity. It was her strategic genius and steady leadership that turned many of the rebellion’s bloodiest campaigns into victories, and her Concord Edicts that first proposed the unification of fractured lands under shared law.
During the war, Elvira formed a legendary partnership with Olaf Longarm, the battlefield commander who would later become Hrothmund, the God of War and Valor. Together, they led many of the pivotal campaigns against the Fireborn's armies—he with sword and fury, she with storm and foresight. Over time, this bond grew into something deeper, and by war’s end, they were inseparable in war, vision, and love.
When the Fireborn was defeated and the Realms began to separate, Elvira was offered rulership of Keltosil—a fractured, volatile realm she had fought to preserve. But seeing that it was not yet ready to accept the unity she envisioned, and unwilling to rule by force, she chose instead to leave. As the Separation began, she crossed into Ragnias, following Olaf into the realm he would forge with fire and iron.
It was there that Elvira shed her mortal name and became Ingemar, taking her place beside Hrothmund not as a shadow or consort, but as his equal—a divine force in her own right. In the early years of Ragnias, she became known as the Warrior Queen, the Stormbound Blade, and the Goddess of Storms and Conquest. Where Hrothmund embodied honor and might, Ingemar embodied precision, strategy, and the unrelenting force of the storm.
She was said to be unconquerable in battle and revered by generals and jarls alike. Her worship grew around the Temple of Storms, and her name was carved into the bedrock of Ragniasi culture. To this day, her followers revere her not only as a war goddess, but as a symbol of discipline in conquest and vision in leadership.
When Hrothmund’s mortal body expired and he ascended to the Great Halls, his remains were entombed in the heart of his capital—Sanctus Bellum, the war-forged city built from stone, iron, and divine fire. There, Ingemar sealed herself within his tomb, choosing not to linger in the world he left behind. She is said to have passed away while lying beside her fallen husband, their final breath shared in silence.
Their tomb, still sealed beneath a colossal monolith within Sanctus Bellum, is said to rest beneath ice and iron, unbroken since the age of gods. Some say she ascended beside him. Others say she waits, silent and storm-bound, until the Final War.
Despite her deep roots in Ragnias, fragments of her old name survive. In Morganos, she is remembered in whispers as the Patternbinder. In Zabirad, as Naqira’s Shadow. In Keltosil, she is known simply as the First Sovereign—a name spoken in reverent tones by scholars and seers, though never officially acknowledged.
Whether remembered as Elvira or Ingemar, her influence endures—not in the crowns she wore, but in the worlds she helped shape

She is presumed to merciless and unrelenting, having a cold and calculated approach to whatever stands before her. Like her older brother, she is honorable.

History
During the Great War against the Fireborn and the Great Dragon, both Ingemar and Hrothmund watched each others backs, often literally, fighting side by side as Ingemar set up tactical advantages using her cunning and precise planning for Hrothmund to reap the benefits with his immeasurable strength and ferocity. Often they were comfortable in each others company, the two spending countless nights together for both planning and for personal favors, which grew increasingly personal every time. When the war was over, the two were night inseparable, having spent almost 10 years at eachothers side. Ingemar, then known as Elvira in Keltosil, decided to stay with Hrothmund when he tore the realms apart in an effort to protect them from each other, and took on a new name to suit her new home. They spent the rest of their lives together, ruling a kingdom that Hrothmund built with the same people he had led during their war, along with those he conquered. Much later, Hrothmund took a second wife- Amara, later known as the Goddess of Love and Fertility. Ingemar felt insulted, but hid her resentment for Hrothmunds decision because it was part of his culture. She did loose some respect for him though.
When Hrothmunds mortal form expired, Ingemar commanded that the tomb be only accessible by those of Hrothmund's blood. When it came time to lay his body to rest, Ingemar, who still had great respect for her husband, willingly went with him, embracing the body of her lifelong lover as the tomb was sealed behind her. The mortal bodies of Hrothmund and Ingemar still reside within the tomb, remaining untouched by time and mortal hands for 30,000 years.
Relationship Reasoning
The Two grew close over the course of their war, and thus decided that they could not live without one another.
Commonalities & Shared Interests
They were both capable warriors, and sought to strengthen each others weaknesses by fighting alongside one another for the rest of their days. They both held honor in a high regard, and valued the spoken word without fault.

History
While not a typical motherly figure to her children, Asbjorn was Ingemar/Elvira's oldest son. She endlessly gave him every ounce of her love and support while Hrothmund trained him into the God of Heroes, much to his dismay amidst his fellows. Asbjorn strived to make her proud of him, however, attempting to prove that he was indeed the Heir of Hrothmund, after Deirdre's downfall.

History
As Ingemar's eldest child and heir to the Jagged Throne, Deirdre outperformed her mother's expectations from an early age, learning from the then God-Queen of Ragnias- and later mastering- every form of martial combat available to her, before moving on to her fathers more Ragniasi styles. Ingemar was incredibly proud of her daughter when she had first ridden out onto the battlefield on her own, wielding two hookblades atop her horse and only returning after she had carved a bloody swathe through a legion of would-be usurpers of her father's throne, shattering their advance. After the death of Hakon, Ingemar did her best to comfort her eternally mourning daughter, helping Deirdre realize her purpose as a Goddess of Death
