First Panæði House of Kaðìl-Zadar

307 – 630 HK. First Panæði House of Kaðìl-Zadar. House of Hazîr the First of Mar Dekàli through her nine times great-granddaughter Urádonōa the First of Panæð.

Following the pacific and brief Balzìdas Dynasty, Pryr Pæð “divinations” led to an unlikely candidate for Crown of the city-state. Using elaborate diagrams and magic sigils, the priests’ magics led them to a merchant ship named the Kaðìl-Zadar. Newly arrived in the City of Panæð, the captain was concerned by the priests’ interest in his ship and its contents. After some negotiation the ship was boarded and explored. After much searching, a panel was moved and a young slave woman was found chained inside the prow of the ship. Her eyes had been burned from their sockets in the ancient practice of mar ēarad. The captain explained that he had purchased the ship’s slave years ago at the Ôldyuh Market in Æzàlar. The priests paid the captain handsomely for her freedom and secreted her to Kryr Bàlzidas. At the keep she was trained and schooled for one year. During this time, a silversmith crafted her a beautiful silver mask to cover the horrid scars which once were her eyes. She was named Hazîr (i.e., hope) Kaðìl-Zadar and crowned Queen of Panæð.

The priests dressed her in the finest fabrics and jewels. When she appeared in the public square for her Crowning, the crowd was smitten by her beauty and intrigued by her eyeless silver mask, which was reminiscent of Ānàsa II of Æzàlar. Following the coronation, the crowd demanded that the mask be removed so they might see their Queen. Hazîr panicked and the attendant priests and soldiers escorted her to the safety of Kryr Kaðìl-Zadar. The nobles of Panæð were immediately suspicious because the House name was unknown to them. Many plotted to unmask the new Queen and learn what “mischief” the Temple was engaged in. During the reigns of House Balzìdas, Temple taxes had doubled to help pay for enhancements to the Nine Halls. The nobles insisted that the Temple had grown corrupt and had chosen a monarch that would support and widen their coffers.

Investigators from the Council of Lanàdus were summoned to review the Temple’s procedures and law. During this investigation, the “origin” of the new Queen was discovered and it was found that her instruction by the Temple had been misleading to the point of granting the Cult powers of the Crown. In 309 HK, it was determined that the Cult of Pæð had abused its powers and responsibility to the city-state. Three priests connected with the conspiracy were extradited and judged by the Council of Lanàdus. Each was sentenced to life imprisonment within Kryr Trèmendūm despite pleas for clemency by Queen Hazîr in 317, 322, and 329 HK. The High Throne, pleased with the outcome, did not form its own review of the matter and did not seek further penalties. In 310 HK, the nobles of Panæð agitatedor the abdication of Queen Hazîr on the grounds that she was unfit to rule and remained a pawn of the Pryr Pæð. Stories circulated that she was not only blind but irrecoverably mad from years of living beneath the deck of a ship. The Panæði populace sympathized with the Queen however, and attempts to dethrone her were abandoned.

A popular Panæði story tells that there was a fourth child born (circa 614) to Queen Urádonōa I named Hazîr who was stolen from the palace and never seen again. The basis for this story was an incident reported in 652 HK of an old woman appearing before the Court of Lanàdus, claiming to be Queen Hazîr III. The woman’s story provided great entertainment for the Court for a number of years before the woman disappeared. In deference to the old “pretender”, the name Queen Hazîr III has been added to the Kaðìl-Zadar peerage. The Crown and Council are not without a sense of humor, especially when it concerns the history of other Houses. The Golden Crown passed from the Kaðìl-Zadar to the Zyan family in 630 HK.
