Bodrick Heartfire

High King Bodrick Heartfire IV

Shalehaven is ruled by a monarchy, led by the Heartfire Clan since their independence was granted to them in the year 4002. The current leader is King Bodrick Heartfire IV, a large Dwarf standing well over five feet tall. He sports a large beard that is tri-braided, the ends of each sporting a different gem. The scar across his forehead serves as a reminder of his youth, and that Owlbear cubs are not to be played with lightly. Owlbear mothers are very protective and he was lucky he escaped with just a scar. King Bodrick is an avid Owlbear hunter and has many trophies of his kills displayed prominently throughout his home. King Bodrick is a kind and just king, with a love for his city and all within it. He has a particular fondness for the Platinum Pits. Shalehaven tradition ensures the king is trained in Dwarven wrestling, and King Bodrick is proud to be known as the third best wrestler in the city. His wife Brenak has bested him many times, but none are as skilled as the current champion of the Platinum Pits, Gemma Bronzebeard. Bodrick feels strongly that the laws are in place to ensure that the majority of the people stay safe and that the city prospers, but he is well aware that laws do not protect everyone. When issues arise that cannot be fairly adjudicated by the existing laws, King Bodrick personally oversees how the law or judgements could adjust this new circumstance. Many guilty parties have tried to use this sentiment against the king, by faking ignorance or frailty to gain sympathy, but this never works. Ignorance of the law is not an excuse, unless coupled with a reasonable explanation for why the law was not known. Bodrick rules Shalehaven alongside his wife Brenak, and their three children; the oldest being Bodrick V, the second being Hendra, their daughter, and the youngest being Torvik, their son.
