Heithkja

Heithkja the Unbroken was a land-owning Darim noblewoman and advisor to two jarls in the -1800s and -1700s. She first served as a landgraf (landowning baron) close to Jarl Halfdarym of Kol Darim.
During a hunting expedition to find and catch a fabled three-antlered elk in -1844, the Jarl Halfdarym and his group were attacked by a Gildegran warband. Halfdarym and his two loyal landgrafir were outnumbered almost 10 to 1, but they managed to beat the warband, with one of his men dying from an axe to the head. However, Halfdarym's wounds were too grave, and his last remaining landgraf, Heithkja buried her jarl, axe in hand, and returned to bear the news.
Heithkja continued to serve her new jarl, Kjotverð, and was promoted to the rank of góþir, or 'advisor'.
