'''Kaliv''' is a kingdom of [[Terandria]]. == Overview == Kaliv is a predominantly human kingdom that lies in high altitudes and the north of Terandria. It is many centuries, if not some millenia old.<ref name="6.44E" /> The kingdom has mostly settled high plateaus and even a mountain. For that reason, it is poor in arable land, but also not a target of preference for most enemies, much like the [[Dwarves]].<ref name="6.44E" /> The small kingdom borders the similarly small [[Calanfer]], [[Gaiil-Drome]] and the large nation of [[Ailendamus]]. From Kaliv, the seat of the [[Order of Seasons]] can be reached within three days of Griffin flight.<ref name="6.44E" /> The military elite of Kaliv consists of a <nowiki>[</nowiki>[[Griffins|Griffin]]-Rider] airforce and a Goat-Rider cavalry, the latter being mounted on Giant Goats that live in the mountains of Kaliv. The airforce can easily assemble 800 [Griffin Riders] on a whim. A proper war force of Kaliv includes around 2400 [Griffin Riders] plus ground forces.<ref name="6.44E" /> == Government == The ruler is traditionally called the ''Griffin King of Kaliv''. Kaliv's ancient seat of power is a wooden throne in an open-air throne room, which makes thick winter garb necessary to wear even in spring.<ref name="6.44E" /> The current ''Griffin Queen of Kaliv'' is [[Novakya]], who has at least two children: Her firstborn son, the [[Griffin Prince]], and a daughter.<ref name="6.44E">[https://wanderinginn.com/2019/09/14/6-44-e/ Chapter 6.44 E]</ref> Novakya has a skill that allows her [Griffin Riders] to move three times as fast as without her. == Chronology == 28 years before the events of book 6, the war of Petril’s Folly had set Kaliv, Calanfer and Gaiil-Drome against Ailendamus and six other nations. The three allied kingdoms had been able to survive that war.<ref name="6.44E" /> The Griffin Prince was exiled in disgrace by his mother after he had made a foolish bargain with the Stitch Witch [[Belavierr]]<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2019/09/17/6-45-e/ Chapter 6.45 E]</ref>, over nine years ago: She had torn him apart and stitched him back together as a part of a deal to grant him invulnerability against blades - as long as Belavierr lives.<ref name="6.46 E" /> When the [[Order of Seasons]] cornered Belavierr, she threatened to kill the Griffin Prince unless Novakya set out and stop the Order by force. Novakya complied,<ref name="6.44E" /> but the Griffin Riders could not arrive at the Order's Headquarters in time. While Belavierr ultimately survived, the current status of the Griffin Prince is unknown.<ref name="6.46 E">[https://wanderinginn.com/2019/09/21/6-46-e/ Chapter 6.46 E]</ref> == Locations == === Cities: === * Gerex<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2021/02/14/8-07-l/ Chapter 8.07 L]</ref> * Lufelt - Kaliv mountain-capital<ref name=":8.06 RT">[https://wanderinginn.com/2021/02/10/8-06-rt/ Chapter 8.06 RT]</ref> * Memda - Border city<ref name=":8.06 RT" /> * Treql - Populous city<ref name=":8.06 RT" /> === Areas: === * Krawlnmak’s Pass - Border to Calanfer and Gaiil-Drome<ref name=":8.06 RT" /> == Trivia == * "''Health above, so below!"'' is a greeting in Kaliv.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2022/08/27/9-11-w/ Chapter 9.11 W]</ref> == References == <references /> [[Category:Terandria]] [[Category:Kaliv|*]] [[Category:Kingdoms]] [[Category:Locations]] [[Category:Nations]] [[Category:Griffins]]
