Rathkaz Hammerfel, Thane of Dun Halder

A Dwarf of prominent stature in modern politics even before coming to head Dun Halder’s political efforts, Rathkaz Hammerfel was one of the most progressive advisors in the dwarven High King’s court. Assisting Muradin Bronzebeard and his father before him with immense dedication and political intelligence, Hammerfel is a contentious-but-popular political figure known for his dedication to what he called the veil of ignorance, often voting against policies that benefitted him directly for being unfair and biased towards the wealthy and the now-defunct upper castes. Rathkaz was instrumental in many de juro improvements in social and political structure and has been a constant leader in the fight to change attitudes to more modern approaches.

He is currently the de facto leader of Dun Halder, a change of position some in Khaz Mordun saw as a form of exile by his political enemies, but the truth is that he volunteered and fought for the privilege believing Muradin Bronzebeard to be more than capable of handling the dissidents in his court. Hammerfel has poured his energy into Dun Halder and is making many waves with far fewer resources than he had in Khaz Mordun.
