Background:
Ralf is an old gaffer who has spent most of his life as an assistant navigator on all manner of small ships, although he seems to spend most of his time woolgathering and staring at the stars. Over the years, he's picked up some knowledge of queer old magic and odd bits of forgotten lore, but by this time of life he's almost stone deaf and rather unsteady on his feet. Right now he's working as a night steersman on the Jenivere.
