Personal history
Hjaldrus was born and raised in the Krazaxian lowlands.He would aspire to become a carpenter in his early life, but was deterred from that path by his father's wishes for him to take over the farm when he would pass away.
A squad of Krasaxian legionnaries once passed through his hometown. He remembers that day clearly even now, fourty odd years later, their martial discipline has left a lingering impression on the young dwarf.
Failures & Embarrassments
After a rough season with barely any produce to speak of, Hjaldrus' father became unable to pay the taxes that they were already behind on.
When these demands were not met, the farm was seized as hard payment. Penniless and homeless, Hjaldrus and his family of five younger siblings were thrown out from their own home, Hjaldrus sent them to spend the night with their aunt and uncle. Immediately going to search for his father afterwards, only to find him at the bottom of the stairs to the bailif's office, arriving just in time to see his head split open over the last step.
Having tried to get his farm back, Hjaldrus' father had been denied and promptly shoved out by the guards, but the stubborn old dwarf was determined to get his farm back, or die trying. A fight broke out, that unfortunately ended with the elderly farmer's death.
Upon seeing this, Hjaldrus leapt at the now present Bailif, who had come out to see if they had gotten rid of the annoying old farmer. Instead, he found himself getting tackled and beaten to death before the guards could stop the engrieved son.
