Keldara

Valrindor Atlas Timeline

Keldara is a martial nation in northeastern Xalmyrra, known for its formidable warriors and mountain fortresses. Its capital, Varentis, is built into the cliffs of the Steel Ravine. Feryon is its supreme commander, with generals such as Durvek serving in its military leadership.

Geography

The north is an icy expanse of mountains, tundra, snowy plateaus and valleys. Pine forests grow among the cliffs. The mountains shelter Varentis and make approaches from the northern sea difficult.

History

The Keldaran commander Kaldramir began the War of Scars. He claimed that Xalmyrra was repeating through cycles, while his campaign burned much of the region. The war's aftermath led to tournaments intended to unite the Xalmyrran nations and test their strongest mages.

Khoradyn, a former supreme commander, led an expedition into the far northern mountains to look for a way through. The party found a cave and reached warmer lands beyond. Only Khoradyn and Rhalyn returned to Keldara, with damaged memories of the journey.

Keldaran forces under Feryon joined Xarion's campaign against Aurion after the orrery cataclysm. Eira's darkness killed most of the assembled armies when negotiations failed; Feryon and Astheron protected a group of survivors.

History

The Keldaran commander Kaldramir began the War of Scars. Belanor had told him about the cycles, the imprisoning storms and the world beyond Xalmyrra. Kaldramir turned that knowledge into a campaign that devastated the region. Thalena ended the war by descending on Glin and forcing the opposing armies to halt. The war's aftermath led to tournaments intended to unite the Xalmyrran nations and test their strongest mages.

When foreign skyships approached Erenmyr's northern coast, Feryon brought Keldaran mages to join Xalmyrra's defense. The mountain terrain and cold had discouraged the attackers from approaching through Keldara itself.
