Thryvi Hafgard

Thryvi Hafgard (3E 1109-1179) was a Vinghjel historian. He is perhaps best known for collecting Arthien folk stories and releasing them in Pagathi galn Arthynid hanvyrd, and writing down the life stories of Lord Tuvia Ionecas, who had escaped to Arthcastle under the name Vehelsty Pelen after being defeated by Kivthern at the Battle of Bopros. His works contain the only written descriptions of life in Vinghjel and Arthcastle prior to the Borovian conquest of Arthien.

Biography
Thryvi was born on the 25th of August 3E 1109 in the Vinghjel village of Vethanthyng, ~60 km south of Boreth. His ancestors are unknown; his paternal grandfather moved to Arthcastle shortly after the birth of his son, presumably dying around 1150, and his paternal grandmother was an orphan. Thryvis maternal grandparents both died before he was born. When Thryvi was nine years old, he and his parents moved to Boreth. In Boreth, Thryvi studied the history of Arthien.

Meeting Tuvia Ionecas
In 1134 Thryvi moved to Arthcastle. He did little work until 1136, when Tuvia Ionecas settled there after his defeat at the Battle of Bopros and assumed the false identity of Vehelsty Pelen, an Enyrian soldier who deserted upon seeing the power of the Vinghjel army. Ionecas told stories of war to the children in the town square, which caught the attention of Thryvi. Tuvia agreed to let Thryvi write down his war stories. A majority of the stories that were written down were from previous wars that Ionecas had fought in, like the War of the Oceans. In 1140, all of Ionecas' stories were written down. Ionecas passed away the following year. In 1143, Thryvi finished organizing the stories in a chronological order and compiled them in Pagathi galn Vehelsty Pelen, tol Enyrunn tryeghan, yleminn danthir, divn trynmigen.

Pagathi galn Arthynid hanvyrd
After the death of Ionecas and the compilation of his stories, Thryvi travelled to Arthien.
