Lineage

  1. King Orgeð the First of Kændal. He was crowned in 1 HK at Kryr Trèmendūm in accordance with the Pact of Lanádrynágdralyð. The last of House Tindàra, King Orgeð changed the family name as a sign of fealty to the High Crown. His reign was marred by the outbreak of civil war in 9 HK. The Pryr Kændlan challenged the king’s sovereignty based on edicts received from the Council of Lanàdus. War erupted throughout the Fertile Coast between Crown and Temple armies. Orgeð I was killed at the Battle of Misfvan in 12 HK. The Living Crown passed to his son…
  2. King Mordūn the First of Kændal. He was crowned in 12 HK on the battlefield of Misfvan, Kændal. He was again crowned by the priests of Kændlan in 14 HK at Kyrm Or’Kændlan, following the exceedance of Āúla I. He was a favorite of the Council of Lanàdus for sparing the lives of Temple officers following the Battle of Misfvan. He exceeded the Living Crown in 23 HK and was enthroned at Kryr Trèmendūm. The epithet “Thrice-Crowned King” followed him throughout the remainder of his life. He died in 51 HK. The Living Crown passed to his daughter…
  3. Queen Tasyna the First of Kændal. She was crowned by the priests of Kændlan in 23 HK at Kyrm Or’Kændlan, following the exceedance of her father, Mordūn I. She died in 44 HK. The Living Crown passed to her son…
  4. King Mordūn the Second of Kændal. He was born in 19 HK at Kændal. He was crowned by the priests of Kændlan in 44 HK at Kyrm Or’Kændlan. He exceeded the Living Crown in 67 HK and was enthroned at Kryr Trèmendūm. Mordūn II is remembered as the first High King to have his crown removed for incompetence by the Council of Lanàdus. Tradition holds that he was driven mad by the presumptive ascension of Rûn at Wyrthyr Tor. He died in isolation sometime after 85 HK. The Living Crown passed to his brother…
  5. King Orgeð the Second of Kændal. He was born in 23 HK at Kændal. He was crowned by the priests of Kændlan in 67 HK at Kyrm Or’Kændlan, following the exceedance of his brother, Mordūn II. Orgeð was a good ruler and unremarkable king. He oversaw the building of numerous keeps along the western frontier to fend off the winters’ Ortòri invasions. Additionally, Orgeð II instituted a bounty on Ortor heads. He nearly approved a redesign for the Living Throne, constructed from Ortor skulls, but the design was spurned by the Pryr Kændlan. Founded the College of Ardshrið in 85 HK. He did in 89 HK. The Living Crown passed to his son…
  6. King Sordāen the First of Kændal. He was born in 40 HK at Kændal. He was crowned by the priests of Kændlan in 89 HK at Kyrm Or’Kændlan. Sordāen I was a scholar and explorer before his coronation in 89 HK. At the time of his father’s death, the heir apparent was aboard a ship near the Cauldrons of Tassèrus. He returned to Kændal with a menagerie of living birds and reptiles. Following his coronation, the King removed to Ardshrið and established court and residence within the college his father founded. In Ardshrið, he met a young scholar named Lady Dīnēa, whom he married in 93 HK. They had eight children together. Sordāen I was killed in 104 HK by a separatist named Āákra who detonated a Phlōgòstrū bomb near the King’s carriage. The Living Crown passed to his daughter…
  7. Queen Navāa the First of Kændal. She was born in 94 HK at Kændal. She was crowned by the priests of Kændlan in 104 HK at Kyrm Or’Kændlan. Naāva I’s reign was nearly as unremarkable as her father’s if not for her lover/consort Nanàhlāan, an Eylfāe. Because the Pryr Kændlan refused to marry the two, their child was born a bastard. When Navāa I died in 123 HK, her lover was captured and killed. The Living Crown passed to her son…
  8. King Naāva the First of Kændal. He was born in 117 HK at Kændal. She was crowned by the priests of Kændlan in 123 HK at Kyrm Or’Kændlan, aged 6. A Lord Regent was appointed until his 16th birthday. Naāva I was the first Halvàrel crowned within the Empire. His entire life was shadowed by the question of his paternity. Despite rumors of race, many believed he was the son of his mother’s brother. A consummate musician, the King performed pseudonymously with a number of Kændàli orchestras. He married Lady Odèsya in 141 HK. He married again in 165 HK to Lady Ardàna. He married again in 173 HK to Lady Ilèrre of Eðyrin. The older he became, the more apparent his age discrepancy became. In 176 HK he abdicated to his daughter. Naāva I retired to a small manor in Vænádygr, Bâr Nægàral. The Living Crown passed to his daughter…
  9. Queen Odèsya the First of Kændal. She was born in 141 HK. She was crowned by the priests of Kændlan in 176 HK at Kyrm Or’Kændlan. A suspected lesbian, the Queen rejected countless male suitors during her reign. She maintained a covey of women “companions” however, to the futile oppositions of the Pryr Kændlan. Her “unnatural inclinations” were often attributed to her father’s infecund nature. She died in 191 HK. The Living Crown passed to her brother…
  10. King Nadān the First of Kændal. He was born in 143 HK. He was crowned by the priests of Kændlan in 176 HK at Kyrm Or’Kændlan. Nadān I was similarly unsuitable by Kændlàni standards. At 33 years old, the new King showed no interest in marriage or extending the House of Dara. He died childless in 217 HK. The Pryr Kændlan searched for distant relatives but found either none or none supportable. In 221 HK, the Living Crown passed from the ancient House Dara to House Hāérede.
