He died knowing that he failed (using up all but one of his draconic powers is not particularly enlightening) and at the same time was relieved to find out that his failure was not complete. Kapertine is a draconic hell but not the worst.

Whatever Ingolf believed was going to happen to him, reincarnation is a dragonewt philosophy and would be a perfectly normal for a EWF bigwig to believe in. Secondly Ingolf isn't a Heortling.
