Crod Crown-Claimer is the current ruler of Tuath. He ascended to the throne two years ago (1587) when he challenged and killed the former king Gren Barrendull in single combat.
 
Crod is largely despised by the people of Tuath for his stance on the Osterian Invasion. Upon taking the throne, Crod declared that Tuath would ally with Oster and help them put down Gearhardt's Rebellion. Many prideful Tuathians saw this move as not only a surrender to Oster, but as an offering of servitude.
