Lore
The northern kingdom that has stayed independent for the most parts [sic]. Known for their iron will and advanced ships that sail even to the most western continents. -New Gods, about Oldegard. The Outlander, called Ragnvaldr in-game, hails from the Kingdom of Oldegard. He learned how to fight at a young age, and went on the expedition with his people to Vinland where the Cube of the depths was found. Many of his people were killed when the Army of the Midnight Sun invaded Oldegard to take the Cube of the depths, and he has come to the Dungeon to take it back and exact revenge on Le'garde for all the pain his people suffered during the invasion.

Their appearances suggest a more primitive nature, but this only surface-level; the people of Oldegard are unsurpassed as merchants and sailors, in addition to boasting the strongest and bravest people. Indeed, the skillset, fearlessness, and general knowledge that make Ragnvaldr a valuable character/ally in the dungeon seem to come from his life experiences as an Oldegardian.

Ragnvaldr can first be found in the hidden courtyard when he confronts the player, mistaking them for an evil denizen of the dungeon. He remarks that the evil of the dungeon is a pure kind, seeking to reach out into the world rather than corrupt it, similar to what he experienced in Vinland.

He can be found a second time in the fifth level of the thicket. He says that the God of the depths is close to this place, and teaches about them. He can be recruited at this point if the player has been speaking to him and exhausting their dialogue options.

Interactions with Ragnvaldr and Le'garde show that he is openly hostile towards Le'garde. Ragnvaldr states that he's here to take the Cube back, while possibly getting rid of the man who took it. He's wary of Le'garde if in the party when Le'garde is found alive, although his previous comments suggest that he's the killer if the Le'garde is dead when the player finds him. The two cannot co-exist in in the ancient city, as they'll get into a fight after the dialogue at the gates, which Ragnvaldr will win without player intervention. Letting Le'garde die will enrage D'arce if she's present, forcing you to pick between killing the two knights and killing Ragnvaldr.
