The Empire of
The Two Lights
Hludō Skógrgard,
Lady-in-Waiting of Nottgard
The Quiet Keeper of the Frosted Hearth • Lady-in-Waiting to the Prism-Princess of Nottgard Kingdom
Overview
Hludō Skógrgard is a noble daughter of House Skógrgard and a Lady-in-Waiting to Hilde von Nottgard, serving as one of the six attendants entrusted with the care, counsel, and protection of the Prism-Princess of Nottgard.
Her name—rooted in meanings of hearth, hiding, and the covered—reflects her nature precisely.
She is not the voice in the hall.
She is the one who hears what others miss.
Biography
Birth and Lineage
Born on Equinoxis 28, 83 AH, in the cold, forested reaches of the Nottgard Kingdom, Hludō Skógrgard was shaped by a land where silence carries weight and survival depends as much on restraint as it does on strength.
She was not raised to lead.
She was raised to endure, observe, and remain unseen when needed.
Early Life
Born to Olaf Skógrgard and Vida of the Lake, Hludō comes from a house shaped by the quiet realities of Nottgard life—where forests conceal as much as they reveal, and strength often lies in what is not spoken.
Her upbringing instilled in her a sense of discipline that is not loud or forceful, but deeply internalized. She learned early that survival in the southern cold was not always about confrontation—but about patience, timing, and knowing when to remain still.
Bound to the Starmaiden
Though one year younger than Hilde von Nottgard, Hludō was chosen to serve as her Lady-in-Waiting, a role that would bind her fate to that of the Prism-Princess.
At the age of seven, she left her homeland to accompany Hilde to the Palace of the Two Lights, stepping into a world far removed from the forests and frost of Nottgard.
This transition was not one of comfort.
It was one of adaptation.
Within the imperial court, Hludō became part of a tightly structured retinue tasked with supporting Hilde in every aspect of her life—public and private, political and personal.
A Life of Service and Silence
As a Lady-in-Waiting, Hludō’s duties extend far beyond simple attendance.
She is companion.
Confidante.
Observer.
She assists Hilde in the rhythms of court life—managing daily routines, aiding in official appearances, and ensuring that the Princess moves through the imperial world with precision and dignity.
Yet her most vital role is less visible.
Discretion.
In a court filled with shifting alliances, hidden tensions, and unspoken rivalries, Hludō serves as a quiet safeguard—one who listens, remembers, and protects what must never be spoken aloud.
Faith of the Night
Hludō’s devotion to Vetr, Lord of the Night, aligns naturally with her disposition.
Where others might seek light, she understands the value of shadow.
To her, the Night is not something to fear—it is something to navigate.
It is where truth often hides.
Where intentions are revealed.
Where survival is tested.
Her faith is not loud or performative.
It is constant and enduring, much like the long winters of her homeland.
Legacy
Hludō Skógrgard does not seek recognition.
She does not command armies or shape policy.
Yet her presence is constant in the spaces where power quietly shifts.
In a world of blazing suns and crashing storms,
she remains something far more subtle—
the steady warmth of a hidden hearth, guarded against the cold.
