Calsten's Legacy

After the fall of Lothrim the Foulspawner’s empire, King Tarthin of Azadmere bestowed a great gift on Calsten of Tane; a broadsword of great power andenchantment. Calsten was a moral and pious follower of The Lady of Paladins. Aided by the power of the sword he was able to unite Tanor with the petty kingdoms of Merila, Panus and Tyannild in order to found the Kingdom of Serelind in 142. Calsten’s son, Medrik I, expanded his father’s domain into much of the Kald River valley and founded the kingdom of Kaldor.

Late in 674 the sword was stolen from King Torastra’streasury. The thieves smuggled the priceless weapon to Burzyn and news soon reached Tashal that it had been sold, in open market, to a Chybisan nobleman. Torastra mustered an army in the spring of 675 and crossed the Ulmerien on both sides of Burzyn. After athree year siege, Balesir surrendered and went into exile. The stolen sword has never been recovered.

Miginanth, Kaldors aging King has no clear heir. The king’s clan and his illegitimate sons engage the Tenants in Chief in intrigue, diplomacy, and swordrattling as they prepare for the impending succession crisis.
