Hogarth Irongut, a skilled diplomat and the restorer of the Dwarven Faith. Respected by many for his steady personality and wisdom.
Early life
Early life, born in Aegis at Kal'Urguan to Thordon Irongut, his father. Joined the Followers of Aerial to fight the Undead but soon returned to Kal'urguan as a young adult. Served in the guard under Stronghold. Adopted a son named Balin and befriended the Adunian leader while the Humans lived in Kal'urguan as refugees.
Asulon
In Asulon he left the Kingdom of Urguan to join an international group for peace. He came back after awhile and became Lord/High Diplomat. Traveled to different lands and once saved the newly crowned King Godfrey Horen from an assassination attempt. Fought in almost all Dwarven wars in his lifetime.
Anthos
He continued to work as Head diplomat during Anthos where he cemented the bond between the Warhawkes of Ker'nor and the Dwarves of Urguan.
The Fringe
In the Fringe Hogarth ran for Grand King after the successful reign of Wulfgar Grandaxe and won by a landslide. Hogarth served as Grand King for a stone month before stepping down and writing the Grand King's Address. Hogarth then went into pilgrimage until early Vailor.
Athera
After Zahrer Irongrinder's removal from the throne, Hogarth was appointed as the Lord Regent until Hodir Doomforged was crowned King. A few years later, a war nearly errupted between the Kingdom of Urguan and the Iron Uzg as Hogarth lost his beard by a warband of Uruks who captured him and removed his beard.
Vailor
He came back and took up the mantle of High Prophet from Chase Irongut. Hogarth started an ambitious plan to build a shrine to all deities of the Brathmordakin in Urguan. This was largely seen as a success and people began to flock to the clergy. As High Prophet Hogarth rediscovered the holiday of Lakhram'Minek, a day for celebration and gifts in Dwarven culture. During the reign of Uldar Irongut, his own son, Hogarth was secretly opposed to the Grand King's softening of relations with Oren and worked on plotting for his downfall. Hogarth spoke out against Uldar's changing of the Articles without Senate permission and when the time came for a public meeting on the event Uldar stepped down and appointed Gauldrim Irongut as Lord Regent without approval from the senate. This launched resentment from the Dwarven populace and Hogarth personally wrote Gauldrim to step down though he refused. After this political struggle Gauldrim was ousted by Midgor Ireheart. Hogarth was a proponent of Elven Independence and supported the war effort for Urguan's freedom in the 18 years war. Long after the 18 years war Hogarth stepped down from High Prophet and is now a recluse in the Dwarven countryside.
Axios
After the removal of Torvin Grandaxe, Hogarth Irongut was appointed as Lord Regent for two stone weeks until Algoda Frostbeard was elected the new King of Urguan.
