Kaldaria

Kaldaria is the northern and largest continent in Valis, unified and ruled by the Kaldur Monarchy. The capital city is Korr, governed by the Kaldarian leader, Mage-king Loa Kaldur. As of 813 SRT, the entire region has been taken over by Barbatos, and the royal family is believed to be dead.

Politics
The entire continent is now controlled by Barbatos the Archdevil. Both the heavens and hells seem to be conflicted on their opinion of the matter.

History
Not much is known before approximately 288 SRT, when a surge in barbaric raids and beast assaults on the civilized people prompted the dwarves to attempt and combine their strength with the human camps in that area. While their alliance gave them some much needed strength and security, it was not enough; raids by goblin clans and other fierce creatures often left their villages in ruins.

However, in 294 SRT, a powerful dwarf from the Kaldur clan was able to clear several goblin invasions single-handedly. He had mastered the runic magics, and had found a way to amplify its use for both destructive and constructive purposes, wiping out a troll horde one moment and rebuilding cities the next. Known as Tarm Kaldur, he led a militant force of both warriors and mages across the land, wiping out the vast majority of hostile creatures.

It is during this time that the great northern scar, later referred to as the Scarred Land, came to be. Some credit Tarm himself, though devout followers often credit Rovagug.

Unification
With the raids ceasing to be an issue, the people looked to the Kaldur clan to lead them into a new era. The Kaldur, originally from the furthest north before the unsettleable ice, migrated south to oceanic divide. Here, they used their magic to construct the basic structures of Korr in a mere week.

By 313 SRT, the people had been fully unified under the Kaldur, with dukes and duchesses set up to govern smaller cities, while the royal family led the capital.

Current Events
As 812 SRT reaches a close, the Invisible Palace has been completed, and the Grand Yels-Kaldaria Bridge is being constructed to celebrate 500 years of peaceful unification, in hope of uniting with the south to bring peace to the entirity of Valis.
