Hjalgrim Kartûn was a war drummer in the Axe of Mirabar, alongside his friend Alinnor. After being badly wounded while his battalion tracked a fearsome foe in the woods of the Mirar Valley, Hjalgrim was rescued by an eladrin elf, Herb Boldcloud. Putting military life behind him, Hjalgrim, along with Herb and Elamyst 'The Silver Dragonborn', set up The Bargewright Inn in Kirkcavan, which quickly became a bustling adventurers' hub. As a bard, Hjalgrim hammers his drum to inspire and support his group with fey-inspired magic. A gregarious and boisterous soul, and charismatic orator, Hjalgrim, unlike many of his kin, is also a passionate feyophile.
