Rheinal
A trapper who works the wood in silence — and will lose his son to it.
He and his son work the same trapline in the same silence — and one day Pryder will not come back from it. Rheinal is one of Stonetop's trappers — weathered, deliberate, comfortable with long silences in the field.
His instinct is to know the land and use it without wasting what it offers. He'll stagger back into town injured and covered in crinwin blood. He and Pryder give the village another trapping family besides Padraig and Andras — a reminder that the economic life of Stonetop involves multiple households doing similar work.
Moves
- Know the recent state of a specific piece of territory in useful detail
- Work alongside his son without needing to discuss what they are doing
- Turn up at a bad moment because he was in the area when something went wrong
