Kræthif the Conqueror

Kræthif the Conqueror, also Kræthif I, was King of Oxway from 70 until his death, according to the Oxway Chronicles, in 87.

Oxway Chronicles states that Kræthif was the son of the King Girhaith I, who built the temple of Lorfea in Colony of Lorfea. He was also the great-great grandson of Fintorf Oxway. The Oxway Chronicles offers several ancestries for Girhaith, and the relationship of Girhaith and Kræthif is less than certain.

The king is only known for conquering many neighbouring counties spreading his influence in the entire present-day Fintorfia.

Death and legacy
Kræthif died on 3 March 87 from a fall while hunting in the Forest of Sandgarden near the town of Yolksdale, Bobiken. He left no male heirs, so his brother, Rudwig, was nominated as the hereditary successor to the throne. But the people of Oxway argued eloquently for the election of Girhaith Bolrachug, who was not only of royal blood but had proven himself through his actions and his military might. Girhaith was elected to the Oxway throne and he was crowned in Sanctuary of Oxway, all within two months of Kræthif's death. Thus the rule of the House of Fintorf dynasty ended and the Bolrachugs era had begun.
