'''Ragnar''' is a member of the [[Mountain Tribe]], a [[Fremennik]] group who reside in a [[Mountain Camp]]. He was betrothed to [[Asleif Hamalsdotter]], the daughter of the camp's chief, [[Hamal the Chieftain|Hamal]].{{CiteNPC |npc=Ragnar |quote=You see, I was set to marry Asleif, the most beautiful woman ever to grace this world. |loc=Mountain Daughter }} In Year 155 of the [[Fifth Age]], the couple were supposed to meet up by the pool near the camp, where he intended to give her a [[Asleif's necklace|necklace]].{{CiteNPC |npc=Ragnar |quote=I was going to give her a necklace, when we were supposed to meet here many years ago. I still have it, and since it was a gift for Asleif, technically it's hers. Take it, outerlander, and bury it with her. It will be my parting gift. |loc=Mountain Daughter |name=necklace }} However, she arrived before him and was killed by [[the Kendal]], a man impersonating a local deity.{{CiteNPC |npc=Account{{!}}The player |quote=But but but... He's not a god! He's a man in a bearsuit! And he killed your daughter! And why didn't you tell me she's been missing for more than ten years? |loc=Mountain Daughter }}{{CiteNPC |npc=Hamal the Chieftain |quote=Fourteen years, to be exact. And I didn't say otherwise, did I? |loc=Mountain Daughter |note=Quest takes place in 169 Fifth Age }} Unwilling to leave without her, the camp remained in the same spot, with Hamal and eventually Ragnar both denying that she was dead.{{CiteNPC |npc=Asleif Hamalsdotter |quote=My father does not believe that I am dead. In his heart, he knows it to be true, but he cannot accept it. |loc=Mountain Daughter }}{{CiteNPC |npc=Ragnar |quote=Do not say such things, outlander! She is not dead, merely missing. She will show up again... yes, yes, I'm sure of it. |loc=Mountain Daughter }} Asleif's spirit would sing, drawing Ragnar to the pool.{{CiteNPC |npc=Ragnar |quote=Sometimes I think I can hear her singing, but when I follow the sound around the pool I just end up here again. |loc=Mountain Daughter }}

Eventually a passing adventurer came by and investigated the disappearance. They interrogated Ragnar then slew Asleif's killer, retrieving [[Corpse of woman|her body]]. However, Ragnar refused to believe the body was Asleif.{{CiteNPC |npc=Ragnar |quote=I do not want to see any of the corpses you're carrying around with you! Begone! |loc=Mountain Daughter }} After the adventurer convinced Hamal, Ragnar admitted that Asleif was dead and handed over the necklace so she could be buried with it.{{CiteNPC |npc=Ragnar |quote=I heard the news from Hamal, outerlander. Alas, I have known this had to be so for a long time, but Hamal just didn't want to listen. |loc=Mountain Daughter }}{{NamedRef|necklace}}

==Trivia==
*After discovering the length of time Ragnar has waited, the player tells him to get a life. He responds by telling the player to consider falling in love. If [[Throne of Miscellania]] is completed, they will state they already have a marriage arrangement to either [[Princess Astrid]] or [[Prince Brand]].
