Hofstaring was the greatest king the Culbrea ever had. Over 100 years old when he fought in Starbrow's Rebellion, he was famous for his leaping ability and his incredible magic spear Chest-Breaker that fought on its own. He was almost killed when the Lunar Empire sacked Boldhome but escaped with his leap. Beloved by Orlanth, King Hofstaring summoned the great flood that destroyed the Imperial Lunar Army before the Hill of Orlanth Victorious.
Hofstaring was imprisoned in a Lunar Hell after Starbrow's Rebellion. He was succeeded by Ranulf Turn-Tail.
