Ratìmir Lunter-Jyllandson

"Ambitious yet humble. Lazy but determined. A mountain-climber who loved living in a cave. A good husband who commited adultery. That was King Ratìmir. One can wonder if this founder of a dynasty truly was a proper dwarf. That is up for debate. The late High King certainly remains to this day a bundle of contradictions impossible to unravel."
