The Kallinad Family is a noble family in Terandria.
Geography[edit | edit source]
The [Duchy] of Kallinad covers a small southeastern coastal area, famed for its wealth in shipping.[1] They are part of the Kingdom of Pheislant, a naval nation.[2]
The Kallinad lands are close to the headquarters of the Order of Seasons.
The Kallinad family has a long-standing feud with the Havrington family, who are rulers of a [Margraviate] or a [March], possibly also of Pheislant.
Family Members[edit | edit source]
The family is considered large. For centuries, Kallinad has not been involved in a major schism - which is a split between feuding family members over matters of succession.
- The current [Duke] Firrus Kallinad, currently married to his second wife.
- Delicha Kallinad, married to a [Baron] of Ailendamus
- her children are designated to be successors of Kallinad[2]
- Talia Kallinad, [Lady]-Dame [Summer Knight] in the Order of Seasons (Wil's half-sister)[1]
- Wil Kallinad, [Strategist] in training under Niers Astoragon in Baleros (ninth-purest family member, as of volume six)[2]
- Girent Kallinad (age unknown), engaged to Lady Cassicel Havrington (13)
- Loerhin Kallinad, [Warlord] of Roshal from its earliest days, (distant ancestor, recently resurrected)[3]
Trivia[edit | edit source]
- Wil's mother is allergic to dogs, so the Kallinad household only has cats.[2]
- A third-aunt of Wil suffocated in her sleep, supposedly drowned in cats.[2]
- The engagement of Girent Kallinad and Cassicel Havrington was announced to pacify the feud between Kallinad and Havrington, but it is a political landmine to blow up since Cassicel's grandfather Bevil had his first son - her father - with a Lizardwoman.
- It is standard practice for the Kallinad family to pretend to be one of their enemies if they have to pretend to their nobility.[4]
