{{infobox location | name = Calanfer | image = Eternalthrone-by-enuryn.png | imagecaption = Eternal Throne by [[Fanworks/Enuryn|Enuryn]] (commissioned by [[Pirateaba]]) | ruler = [[Reclis du Marquin]] | location = [[Terandria]] | affiliation = [[Humans]] | inhabitants = [[Humans]] | first appearance = }} '''Calanfer''', formally '''Eternal Lands of Calanfer''', is a kingdom in [[Terandria]] ruled by [[House Marquin]], one of the [[Hundred Families of Terandria]]. == Overview == The kingdom borders [[Kaliv]]. The two kingdoms together with [[Gaiil-Drome]] were, 28 years ago, part of an alliance against seven other nations, most prominent among those the powerful [[Ailendamus]].<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2019/09/14/6-44-e/ Chapter 6.44 E]</ref> This alliance is known as the Dawn Concordat and stands to this day. == Background == Calanfer has once usurped one of the sixteen [[Dragonthrones]] and built their country around it.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2020/03/15/7-12-g/ Chapter 7.12 G]</ref> When it was founded, the lands used to be ruined by the [[Crelers]]. The country claims to have its roots roughly 6,000 years in the past, right after the end of the [[Creler Wars]], which means they are a very young nation by Terandrian standards<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2020/06/10/7-28/ Chapter 7.28]</ref> that needs to boast their claims with attributes like eternal<ref name=":6.03">[https://wanderinginn.com/2019/03/30/6-03/ Chapter 6.03]</ref>. The ruler of Calanfer occupies the Eternal Throne of Calanfer, and [[Lyonette du Marquin]] is the sixth princess in line to that throne.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2017/05/14/2-21/ Chapter 2.21]</ref> The previous queen before King [[Reclis du Marquin|Reclis]] had spent her whole life opposing Ailendamus, but they proved too strong to be obstructed.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2022/09/25/9-17-r/ Chapter 9.17 R]</ref> The kingdom of Calanfer does not lack for [Princesses] and [Princes], but is not notably powerful militarily or economically. Their main capital are their royal heirs who can make political marriages and thus safeguard the kingdom through diplomacy.<ref name=":Glossary">[https://wanderinginn.com/2018/10/19/glossary/ Glossary]</ref> Due to the Terandrian policy of ''ichorial lineage'' where pureblood [[nobility]] carries enormous political weight, Calanfer can be suspected to be rather influential despite not being powerful.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2019/11/09/interlude-the-titans-question/ Interlude - The Titan's Question]</ref> == Military == As previously mentioned, Calanfer does not have a powerful military, being more adept at diplomacy and politics. It can levy twenty thousand [Soldiers] and [Militia].<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2021/02/10/8-06-rt/ Chapter 8.06 RT]</ref> Their knight order, the [[Thronebearers of Calanfer]], are better at courtly affairs and bodyguard duty than they are at combat on a battlefield. That said, they have achieved surprising victories in the past, like holding off four armies at Krawlnmakโs Pass. Calanfer's champion, the Lightherald, is considered as strong as a Named rank adventurer thanks to the Relics he wields. ==== Navy ==== Calanfer has some coastline and has a navy, though its strength is most likely limited. ===== Ships ===== * ''Throne's Will'' == Locations == * [[Eternal Throne of Calanfer]] - Official name for the capital city<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2021/02/14/8-07-l/ Chapter 8.07 L]</ref> == Gallery == <gallery widths="350" position="center" captionalign="center" orientation="none" hideaddbutton="true"> Eternalthrone-by-enuryn.png|Eternal Throne by [[Fanworks/Enuryn|Enuryn]]<br/>(Commissioned by [[Pirateaba]]) Eternalthrone-by-enuryn-colorless.png|Eternal Throne (Colorless) by [[Fanworks/Enuryn|Enuryn]]<br/>(Commissioned by [[Pirateaba]]) </gallery> == Trivia == * The house of the ''Clavalettes'' is probably based in Calanfer, since Lyonette knew them and pretended to be a member of that minor noble house. *The colors of Calanfer are royal blue, gold, yellow, and white.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2022/03/09/8-68/ Chapter 8.68]</ref> *Calanferian coins are generally thinner than Izrilian coins, but have more gold content.<ref>{{VERef|10.01 L}}</ref> *A Great Knight of Calanfer becomes landed nobility, equivalent to a [Baron] or [Baroness].<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2024/05/11/10-14/ Chapter 10.14]</ref> == Notes == <!-- Okay, this rant is now outdated, given how MANY things in Innworld are thousands of years old :''Note: As history nerds from Earth will point out: the (allegedly) longest-reigning dynasty on Earth was that of Imperial Japan, and even their long rule of roughly 2000 years was neither continuous nor undisputed. Millenia-lasting countries on Earth, most prominently Ancient Egypt with a history of roughly 3000 years, had way over 30 dynasties succeeding each other. So far, the story has not elaborated on the age of current House Marquin's bloodline; but it would be likely that within the Kingdom, not much besides the ''Throne'' itself and the Name ''Calanfer'' are actually 6000 years old.'' :''Note also: Very powerful magical means could stabilize a nation against the inheritance disputes mentioned above, also against civil strife or unrightful usurpation. Some institution might shield Calanfer against major changes: long-term stabilizing factors are used in the [[Reinhart family]], in [[Khelt]] and in [[Germina]], for example.''--> == References == <references /> [[Category:Locations]] [[Category:Terandria]] [[Category:Kingdoms]] [[Category:Calanfer]] [[Category:Nations]]
