NPC Profile: King Arnulf Blademeister

King Arnulf is the fierce and mighty king of the dwarfs of Stonehome. He has held the position of king for over forty years and intends to run for a third term in six years. His clan has the support of numerous minor clans and the major clans of Drumbottle, Bronzekettle and Two-Axe.

King Arnulf fought alongside Prince Jorum's grandfather in the battles against the Razorclaw tribe of kobolds and their dragon leader, Gafir, 100 years ago. King Arnulf proved his worth as he landed mighty blows against Gafir when Joshua Edmund fell to the dragon. King Arnulf has been a warchief and war advisor before ascending to the throne in a hard-fought election with Korum Fireaxe and Malcolm Two-Axe as his major opponents. For unknown reasons Two-Axe withdrew from the election and threw his support behind the Blademeister assuring Arnulf the victory after the forth ballot.

King Arnulf is a no-nonsense ruler. He abides by the laws of Stonehome, watches vigilantly for enemies and honors his commitments to others. King Arnulf signed a mutual protection pact with Prince Josseth Edmund shortly after taking the throne. No call has been made to honor this treaty, but with the recent Razorclaw menace on the border and tales Gafir waking in the mountains, everyone fully expects Prince Jorum to make the call soon.
