Eingal Barringald's page

On a trip to the Five Kings range, Professor Lorrimor had the opportunity to assist a dwarf maiden. The young dwarf approached Lorrimor seeking advice on how best to win the heart of a dwarf wizard in training, Eingal Barringald. The Professor instructed her to forge a ring of mithral and gold, and to make it of the finest quality. He also told her to include a setting for a gemstone, which he would provide.

After the ring's completion, Lorrimor took the item and promised to return it when he next passed through the region. When that time came, Lorrimor had added a brilliant sapphire to the setting, as well as an enchantment. The Professor told the dwarf to present it to her love, and not too worry about repaying the debt; he would one day call upon her services.

Barringald had just finished his formal training when the maiden presented him with the gift. As soon as he took the item, it grew warm, and an engraved message appeared inside the band. Eingal had been taken by the young woman's looks for some time now, admiring her from afar, and was now rendered speechless by the gift; the two married within the year.

Eingal and his new bride settled in Tar-Kazmukh, where Eingal began training to one day join the Blue Warders, a sect of librarians based in the city. However, after two years tragedy struck, and his wife was killed by monsters attacking from the Darklands. Shortly thereafter, a message arrived from Ustalav, addressed to his dead bride. Eingal has heard about how Professor Lorrimor had brought the two dwarves together, and upon reading the summons to serve at the man's funeral Barringald decided it fell to him to fulfill his late wife's debt.
