High King Rofterrek IV of Kastinorok

King Rofterrek IV of Kastinorok is the sovereign ruler of the dwarven kingdom of Kastikhan. He is 454, and has been king for 413 years. At the age of 31, he succeeded his father Thufferek upon his early death at the hands of the Almarians elves at Glastiköken (3013), at which Rofterrek was present. It is said that Rofterrek swore an oath of vengeance during the retreat, still covered in his father’s blood.

The Kastinorok clan has been ruling over Kastikhan since the Elder Days and trace their lineage back to Wöshkerfuv, founder of Kastikhan. Rofterrek is best known for his resistance to Almarian imperialism, and Kastikhan has fought against the elves throughout his reign. Other noteworthy characteristics of his rule have been an aggressive expansion into the depths under Kastikhan, though few know exactly how far, and an increased emphasis on fine crafting, especially arms and armor, throughout his realm. He has several sons, many of whom serve as field commanders, while Rofterrek, in his older age, holds court at Khastikhan. Roftuzzoft and Fingostor, his two eldest sons, are the marshals of the 1st and 2nd armies and are both known as brilliant generals.
