Jarl Ivan Marblehide
When Ivan’s mother, Dorothea, was pregnant and completing The Walk, one of the slopes caved in at the North Pit, causing her and her unborn child to fall into the Underdark. The citizens of Kraggenhammen believed that she had died, but she managed to survive and give birth down in that dark place, surviving for years by eating the mushrooms down there. After around a decade, Dorothea eventually died, and Ivan was left alone. This loneliness drove him to climb his way back up into the sunlight of the north pit. He presented himself to his uncle Sven, who confirmed him as Ygrid’s son. Although his facial features were nearly identical to his father, his skin had turned pale from years in the underdark. Sven abdicated the throne, named Ivan as Marblehide (as it is customary for dwarves to change their name after a family member has completed a great task), and left to travel the world as a Slayer. Ivan Marblehide has been ruling Kraggenhammen ever since.
The sons and daughters of the Jarl are known as Jarlssons and Jarlsdottirs, respectively. Currently, Ivan is unmarried with one son and two daughters; Ingolf, Sigurda, and Frida. Ingolf is the youngest of the three, but he is the heir apparent.
