Khoraldrum Pureshield

"Technology... is a queer thing. It brings you great gifts with one hand, and it stabs you in the back with the other. Dwarves will never again become tools to their tools."

- Khoraldrum Pureshield on the villainy of Erathis

At a Glance
A Cardinal and candidate for the position of 68th Scholar of Silverspear, Khoraldrum Pureshield was a Dwarf cleric and bastard nephew of Magni Gruffhelm who was declared legitimate and named Cardinal in -143 DR where he maintained the teachings and laws of Moradin as passed down by the Scholar Gerumph Smidgebottle.

Unlike previous Scholars, Khoraldrum wore full armour when he walked the streets of Silverspear. This, combined with a beautiful but faded portrait by Donald Behlin painted in 10 AOA that made him look cold and frustrated, earned him the nickname "The Warrior Cleric".

Approachable, but honest, Khoraldrum was one of the most important Dwarves to have ever lived. While still a Cardinal, he oversaw a number of substantial religious projects in Silverspear: the completion of St. Moras Basilica, the rebuilding of a Tragurn aqueduct which supplied fresh water to fountains in the city, and the enrichment of the Silverspear Clerical Library. He was also responsible or a renaissance of anti-technology sentiment. As he grew older and became a candidate for the position of Scholar, his blasphemes of Erathis became more common in his later sermons (albeit wrapped with his trademark dry wit).

His secular interests weren't entirely abandoned when he became the candidate for Scholar. He loved masked balls, fireworks, clowns, and in -110 he revived the Carnival Procession, a festival where enormous floats were dragged through the streets of by teams of Rams which told the story of Silvespear's founding and history.
