Ingvar Liefsson

 

The first player character in our duet campaign is Ingvar Liefsson, a young mercenary and adventurer from Dhoesone.  Ingvar grew up near the border with Stjordvik and was exposed to both the traditional way of Rjurik life along with the more progressive culture of farming and city life that is settling into the Highlands.  Like most traditional Rjurik upbringings, Ignvar learned to hold an ax and shield from an early age.  As befitting his elevated social status in Dhoesone, he is also a capable horseman and can fight mounted.

Ingvar has his sight set on exploring the Giantdowns where his mother Ylva was born and raised.  Ylva died young and Ingvar has few memories of her.  She was the third wife of Lief Stoutspear, an older upper-class warrior and successful herder originally from Stjordvik.  Ingvar has several half-brothers and sisters from his father’s previous marriages, most of whom do not want to see their inheritance go to Ingvar.  Knowing his father extreme age and poor health, it will only be a matter of time before his brothers make their move to seize control of the family’s wealth.
