Hrut Cragaxe

Hrut Cragaxe, best known just by Hrut, is a middle-aged dwarf who descends from the Cragaxe clan from Hyljaheim.

Not much is known about his early life other than being raised in the traditional ways of his clan, with his “royal” blood diluted to a minor standing in his clan. Despite this, he had access to a relatively good education, which led to him taking further learning in politics and diplomacy between the clans.

When he reached his adulthood, he found himself very sickly with several allergies, which seemed to get better when he moved to the port. In his own words, the air of the sea has helped his health improve, and hides any weakness that may bring shame to the clan and himself.

Overall, he is just as scheming and politicizing as his forefathers, a connoisseur of the fine arts of diplomacy and a manipulator behind the curtains. Not all of these qualities are shown to the public however, often he acts as a gentleman in a courtly manner, even if it is a façade, his aptitude in many areas is acknowledged by his peers.

Following the events of Aldrak Bitterhelm's death, a Hár Pré-Stöll of the dwarves, Hyljaheim became leaderless. As a measure to combat the lack of leadership, Hrut was one of two dwarves to be elevated to the Hylja Thing position.
