Princess Khousgrahylda, daughter of High King Motir, is a highly-placed noble in the Dwarven court. Her father respects her opinion greatly despite her age, and sends armed guards with her at all times to guard her from his foes. Hylda, as she prefers to be known, rankles at this constant supervision, and has made off on her own several times to perform works for her nation's benefit.
Her politics and appearance often shock the more conservative nobles of her father's court- she is fond of piercings and bright colours, and deeply wants change to remove harmful traditions among her people. There have been some attempts on her life by enemies both political and national. How you can use Princess Khousgrahylda in your game: - A dwarven activist by the name of Hylda may recruit the PCs to assist her with some work- rescuing someone unwilling from an arranged marriage, freeing someone forced into indentured servitude to pay their debts, sabotaging the forge of a thieving master smith. She pays with pieces of heavy, valuable jewellery that she recommends be sold far, far away. - If Princess Khousgrahylda has gone missing again, one of King Motir's seneschals might hire the PCs to find and bring her back. A locket with a painting might bear more than a passing resemblance to Hylda, the PCs' previous employer, which could bring the PCs under some unpleasant scrutiny if they let on. Hylda will be unwilling to return right now, as she is embroiled in yet another mission. - If Hylda is being threatened by enemies that she has made, she might lean on some old friends for help, rather than her father's men- perhaps someone her father trusts has begun a conspiracy against him, and she needs help to uncover them.
