Ignorr

Ignorr (also called Ignorrent) is an elf commander appointed by the Da’fat Federation to Sınır Sapı in the campaign Zincirsiz ("Unchained"). His rank was likened to that of an imperial major, though he holds no imperial rank. He is athletic, with long white hair and finely worked gear.¹²

The Federation's post

The innkeeper Kokarca Loui spoke of a post in the town set aside for the Federation's elves, few in number but skilled, and the imperial major said that the elves had joined the common inquiry. The post proved to be a closed inn the Federation soldiers had taken over, its old counter now the duty desk at the door, separate from the post the major used.³⁴¹

The elf scholar Ektelyon described Ignorr as very busy and tense, for he looked on Ak Şelale as his own land, but thought he would listen if his duties allowed.⁵

Lady Teresa

Ignorr had heard of Jonathan River from the major and received him after about ten minutes. He said that he counted the chain-bearers friends of his people and did not wish to stand in the way of Jonathan's errand, and that, having seen Jonathan's summoned scribe's book and his spells, he might call on his help when needed. He explained that the test for the sickness was not certain for those who carry it.⁶⁷⁸

Urgent news reached him behind closed doors: Lady Teresa had gone missing, and he asked his soldiers to look into it quietly. When Jonathan would not take another's turn in the line for messages, Ignorr said that this made him trust him, and gave him the same task of finding the missing woman, showing on a map where she was last seen. His trust in Teresa, he said, rested on the local elves' witness to some centuries of her healing. He judged the witch hunter Otto hard but neither foolish nor wholly unwilling to bargain, asked that Teresa not be mentioned to the hunters, and said that if need be Jonathan could say he was helping the elven mages.^9101112

When Jonathan and Olaf came back after a long absence, Ignorr, who had been worried, saw them at once. He recognised the fruit tree Jonathan described and listened closely to his account of lost memory, a searched house and tracks leading towards the town, which Jonathan admitted he had not followed to their end. Ignorr had still heard nothing from the two soldiers he had sent after Teresa, and the news of two people heading towards the town troubled him. Jonathan offered to let his mind be read; Ignorr grimaced at the discomfort of it but said he would think on it.¹³¹⁴¹⁵

The ring

Later Jonathan came with Ektelyon, whose word and family Ignorr held in respect, and was received after another meeting. When Jonathan said he could not tell all his secrets, Ignorr told him that if he was being watched or threatened he could calmly let it be known. Jonathan offered the travel journal Elenor Sunlight had given him; Ignorr leafed through it, had a passage read, and handed it back, saying that his family knew the Sunlight siblings and that he was closer to Elenor.^16171819

Trusting Ektelyon's surety and the gift offered, he lent Jonathan a mind-shielding ring, a family heirloom, on one condition: if after five days no safe solution seemed near, he would want to hear everything on the sixth morning, so as to take measures for the townsfolk in the two days that remained, perhaps without naming Jonathan as the source.²⁰²¹

He argued that secrecy was isolating Jonathan, that the elves could stand with him without putting his career at risk, and that the hunters and the Empire's central order might limit his freedom to act; Jonathan answered that the hunters could still be useful. In the Empire all who have magic must join the Archon, which grants some autonomy but is also a kind of prison, and the Inquisition keeps its own outposts across the Empire.²²²³

Jonathan warned that elven soldiers were not safe from the danger to the mind either and should take care in sleep and trance. Ignorr agreed that, should Jonathan die, his journal would be sent to Eleniel, who had found him as a baby.²⁴²⁵

Ignorr thanked Jonathan and Olaf for bringing back the bodies of the fallen elven soldiers, took back his family ring, and invited them to the elven lands whenever they chose.²⁶
