Ingi'inda Grey-cloaked

Ringlins real origins were clouded by the events that surrounded the loss of his blood father, and left his mother a hollow shell of broken dreams. What was known was exceptional and strange. His mother Tiliwini (A. "Last Maiden") was an Linadan woman from Ralian, the Land of Countless Waters, in southeastern Endor. She was apparently called by many names, and still answers to the elder calls, leading many to believe that she sought to shield her identity for some reason beyond the norm. This would not seem any odder than her two hundred and seventy-nine year stay in sleep.


 * "The body of Tiliwini was taken from the battlefield of Syclax following the epic struggle for Rudge and the Thurl Ralian Fen. She had not :been wounded, but lay in a deep trance that baffled the greatest of her kind, and led the Lords of the Blue Forest to believe that she was doomed :to remain forever in sleep. To her kin, she was the object of utmost attention and despair. Two hundred and seventy-nine years later, however, she :awoke. Tiliwini was not the :same as she had been, and did not speak as she rose from her bed of seaflowers; all the memories of a life rich in history :and adventure had been seemingly erasedfrom her mind. For the next nine or so months she walked the forest trails of Horl, but showed no signs of :real thoughtor passion. She did show the signs of pregnancy. In the dead of winter that same year,she gave birth to Ringlin Greymantle."

Ringlin left his sheltered Linadan home early in life to seek ou the answers to his frightening and mysterious parentage. His mother was mute and unable to interact with the world about her, and his father was a man unknown. What Ringlin would discover was even more terrifying that he could have imagined. In the meantime, however, he became embroiled in a power struggle between young heirs to power in the eastern realms and several other factions, all Dark Powers which threatened to plunge all Middle-earth into anarchy. The Unholy Sars (Morgoth's Blood Pools) had been opened again, and the Power of the Black Enemy was being felt (albeit indirectly).Arxdukanga, the high-priest of a Dark Cult in the Orocarni, was the key to the Sars' power, and to Ringlin's past — for he was in fact Luingurth (S. "Blue Death") the Blade-master, an Avarin Lord among his people. He fashioned the sword that bore his name, a powerful and peculiar weapon. When Luingurth the forger turned to darkness, he made six blades: the Irgaak swords, which were said to be able to summon the "Harvest of Fools".It became clear to Ringlin that his doom was simple yet horrible: he must go to Angsars-morthrog, face the Priests of Darkness and slay his own father. In the final conflict he was joined by many illustrious Lords of the East, and in the actual assault on the Sars was aided by a powerful Wizard Alatar.The destruction of Arxdukanga's legacy was successful, but the effort so drained Ringlin that he soon grew tired of the World, He died a mortal death at a young age.

Features
Ringlin was slight of stature for one of his kind, being only 6' tall and weighting perhaps 160 lbs. He had blonde hair and fair skin — but perhaps his most distinguishing feature were his ice-blue eyes (hence his name).

Family
Ringlin's family is as unusual and terrifying as any that night be found in the legends of the East. As was revealed to him in his late adolescence, his hidden father was indeed Luingurth, the Avar Blademaster who betrayed his kindred and sought an unholy alliance  with  the spirit of Morgoth. His mother, an Linadan Princess, was virtually paralyzed by grief throughout Ringlin's youth and young adulthood. She recovered after the demise of Arxdukanga, although she died soon afterward.
