Hjurgol Skjoralmor was Jarl of Falkreath and member of Skjoralmor Clan. As a descendant of Bjarfrud Skjoralmor, believed to be a founder of Falkreath he inherited right to rule the town.[1][2] He ruled during the Interregnum, in the years prior to the Alliance War in 2E 582. He was neither popular nor a well-loved Jarl.[3] In 2E 561,[UOL 1] the wife and daughter of Hjurgol traveled to Solitude to attend High King Svargrim's coronation. They were ambushed by a giantess' herd of mammoths shortly after. While Eerika survived, Hjurgol's wife died during the attack. Soon afterward Hjurgol succumbed to alcoholism and his daughter took a more prominent role in the management of the Hold.[4]
He did not act justly in the days leading to the sacking of Falkreath by the Dreadhorn Clan and ignored the warnings of his scouts.[2] During the invasion he took to hiding in his longhouse, while his daughter and thane, Eerika Skjoralmor, led the remnants of the resistance.[5] She held the town for some time until the intervention of the Undaunted, who delved through the battlefield and aided the Thane in their efforts to save the city. The group was able to defeat Domihaus at the Jarl's Keep and witness the coronation of Jarl Eerika. They however failed to save Hjurgol, who was killed by Domihaus in the throne room.[6]
