Recruit the puppet-king of Rhudaur.
Hwaldir is a descendant of Hwaldar, the chief of many tribes of Rhudaur, one of the ancient three kingdoms of Arnor. Rhudaur was secretly in league with the Witch-king and Hwaldar paved the way for Angmar's invasion, which led to the fall of Cardolan and the destruction of the Weathertop, causing him to be known as the traitor of Rhudaur in Arthedain, the last-standing Dúnedain kingdom of Arnor. Hwaldir holds a mortal grudge against Elric, a claimant to the title of chief of chiefs.
