218 – 302 HK. First Panæði House of Balzìdas. House of Arân the Second of Panæð through his granddaughter, Nandūbōúð the Second of Panæð.
The House of Balzìdas remains the shortest lived Panæði dynasty. Following on the heels of the ancient and bloody House of Nakhêr, the Temple and city-state were ready for a more peaceful ruling family that embodied the qualities of Pæð, rather than the Old Ways of the ancient world. In 216 HK, the Pryr Pæð summoned Ūmìel the Seer, a Pryn Sūdul, to Panæð to advise the Cult on the choice of a new ruling House. The Sūdulyr were celebrated augurers and the Pryr Pæð were very interested to learn more from the newest Dekàli cult. Ūmìel collected blood from each of the prospective successors, and distilled from this all qualities antithetical to Pæð. When the ritual was completed, only one drop of blood remained.
