Tartum Kov
Tartum Kov is the leader of Clan Kov; the most powerful Goliath Clan in the Northern Hjalboras Mountains. He has a reputation as a powerful, brutal and ambitious warrior.
The Empire was quick to consolidate control over Swenmark after their conquest. The human Mjande strongholds along the southern coast were easy to reign in, but the Goliath Mountain Clans were a different challenge.
The Shogun has instead taken a different approach toward taming the Goliath race. Utilising the disunity between the Goliath clans, Kyotai has recently sponsored and allied with Clan Kov, and its imposing ruler, Tartum. Mere years before the Great War, Tartum Kov led his Hirdmen (loyal and best warriors) and raided rival clans across the realm of Swenmark. To this day, he claims conquest over three clans and it will be doubtless that more shall follow.
It is perhaps best that empire building is not a goal for Goliaths, else the Hjalboras Mountains might be ruled by Tartum alone in 1246. However, many clans now fear Tartum, and talk grows among Goliaths of a ressurection of The Birthrite - the belief of the Goliath race seizing the legacy of their Giant progenitors and claiming their mountain kingdom for themselves in unity - his chances of being elected as Konegg (King of all Goliaths) in the ancient Moot on Rallheim grows... and spells the beginning of true dominion over Swenmark by Kyotai.
