Ingrid / Nex Eleos

Ingrid Eleos is an Adept from Adarlen. They are a changeling with white scars that they cover with a white plague doctors mask, which has a dirt covered nose since the events of The Massacre at Morana's Woods. Ingrid always refers to their parents as 'Gone'. They have severe memory issues and can sometimes see past illusion magic. To help with their memory problems they carry a book to fill out the most important information. Their party in the Amsonia alliance includes the other members of Verona's Four. They were taken in by Nessa, and regards her as a mother figure.

Several white scars across face and various areas on the body

## Notable Events

### Meeting Lis

While Verona's four was dispatched to save Finian, Ingrid meets Lis, who almost outs them as a changeling. She doesn't, but it begins Petra's rampant paranoia and mistrust of Ingrid.

### Beyond the Tapestry

In Ingrids room in Aressett Ingrid discovers that a tapestry above their bed leads to a spiral staircase that takes them to a series of tunnels. One way to a ballroom, the other to the servents kitchen, and the last to a small river which seems to lead into town.

### The Massacre at Morana's Woods

During the massacre, Ingrid could see through the visions and illusions, but only partially. After the battle, they'd forgotten all of it. At some point Ingrid experiences the following: Ingrid, you are in a dark room sat in a chair, your ankles and wrists bound to the chair, your head and body are throbbing. You don't remember how long you've been here or how you got here. You don't even remember where ‘here’ is. After a horrible amount of time, there's a bright light behind you and footsteps behind you. A dwarven man with his hair pulled into a low ponytail and glasses says “hello Ingrid Eleos, how are we faring?”

### Bloodied Bandits

A group of mercenaries are sent in Plimond to murder a group of changelings who had made a small camp for themselves. Ingrid defends the changelings, killing every bandit. This scares the people they meant to help, leading them to kick them out.

### Meeting Verona

The night of the 78th, Verona's four are put to sleep in a strange prison-type thing. During this, Ingrid meets with someone claiming to be Verona. They say the following, changing the course of Verona's four:

“When I was born, the name for what I was did not exist. First of our kind, my brother and I were made as gifts, Children to the gods. We watched the birth of gods and your world from within the arms of our mothers. My brother and I always worked in tandem to keep our home balanced and calm, playing our roles. When they split, (her eyes flash black) my brother and I were separated, Adding to the already growing imbalance. This is why I wander, attempting to hold together both his role and mine. But like you may have noticed, the world is collapsing in upon itself. Birth Rates are plummeting, famine is spreading, nations are executing each other without thought. The world is running out of time and we lack most options. Everything will end at the peak of next summer. I have given up trying to keep order and now look for some hope for my family and the world I have grown to love.

You and your companions are one of my hopes. For reasons I cannot and will not explain, your party has the means to make a difference, maybe even change our fates. For now, all I ask is to guide you and your own further knowledge. For you are at the precipice of greater understanding. You have all of the pieces, all you must do is place them together. This knowledge will be found in a place you now see as dangerous, but I will shield you from watching eyes.

Nex, Your role is to mediate. Without you, your party would, to be blunt, kill each other.

You are the only thing that will ensure your parties unity when it comes to it. I have protected you all up until now, and will continue to as much as i can. But you will be heading into the mouth of danger, and we can only hope for your success. I know you did not ask for this, and I apologize for that, but I believe in you and your allies. I know you can make a difference in this universe. Maintain the balance, gain knowledge without bias, be courageous but not willful, trust in each other. Without that, you have nothing.

Will you help?”

### Exposure

On the 80th day of summer, year 999, Ingrid exposed to Verona's four that they were a changeling. Despite a rocky start, this is when Ingrid and Petra would start becoming closer than ever
