Alma Singen

Tell us about a famous explorer in your world. What did they discover?
Alma Singen, born 3467 B.A. was born to an elven mother and human father. She is one of the first well-known and historically documented half-elves.
From what is known of her, she was born in a no longer existant settlement called Rimback, which is believed to be located somewhere on the western coast of the Kassel Tundra, northwest of the modern position of Gettorf. The stories of her tell of an ambitious and adventurous girl, who grew up as a fisherman's apprentice to one of her kinsmen. At the age of eighteen, she officially joined the Cult of Isfahan, due to her ambitious and adventurous nature. The journey that has given her fame was inspired by an intense desire to meet, in-person, her patron god.
At the age of 26, Alma collected a band of kinsmen and kinswomen to crew a ship she had, as the story tells, been granted to her as a reward for her successfully killing a local plesiosaurus. With her crew, she decided to sail off the western coast of the Kassel Tundra directly to the Celle Jungle. At the time, ships rarely set off far from the coast, and when travel was necessary, shallow waters, short routes, and plenty of island stops would be involved.
Her journey took 32 days, as she landed on the east coast of the Jungle continent before sailing up one of the four rivers originating from the Life Tree. On her journey, she documented many of the fantastic beasts of the sea. She was the first person to encounter a kraken, who she barely escaped with her life, a turtle dragon, and many other fantastic creatures. At the end of her journey, she created a book of all of the creatures she saw on her journey, that also included tips for making it across the sea alive.
Due to her influence on the sea, and allowing for the start of intercontinental and inter-sea trade, the previously untouched swath of ocean was named after her. She is the name behind the Singen Sea.
