<div>[[File:Palace_of_One_Thousand_Columns.jpg|350px|thumb|right|<div class="center" style="width: auto; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;">The Palace of One Thousand Columns.</div> ]]<br />
The '''Palace of One Thousand Columns''' is the seat of the Emir of Alalehzamin and Utasia, the [[Royal Governor]] of the [[Princely Precinct]] of the [[Elwynn|Elwynnese Union]] of the [[Alalehzamin and Utasia|same name]]. It is situated in the [[Ardashirshahr|Royal City of Ardashirshahr]] on the banks on the banks of the [[Elwynn (River)#The Blue Elwynn|Blue Elwynn]]. It is most famous for the site where the Khan of Viyajanagara assassinated [[Kaisar Hasan I]].<br />
<br />
==Royal Residence==<br />
Ever since the wedding of [[King Noah of Elwynn]] and Grand Duchess [[Noor Bint Simrani-Kalirion|Noor]] of [[Goldshire]], the Palace of One Thousand Columns is one of the official [[List of Royal Residences|Residences]] of the [[Royal Family of Elwynn]].<br />

<hr />
<div>The '''Emir of Sathrati''' is an imperial title created by Babkhan Shah [[Kaiser Hasan I|Hesam Jahandar Shah]] in 1542 and bestowed upon former Shah [[Kaiser Ayreon|Rashid Arsalani]]. ''Sathrati'' is an antiquated [[Babkhi]] name for [[Shireroth]].<br />
<br />
Even since the fall of Babkha, the title has lived on. The current holder is [[Nathaniel Ayreon-Kalirion]]. By Babkhan law, titles are property and are succeeded to by legal descendants, whether related or not by blood.<br />
<br />
==Status in Shireroth==<br />
Ever since the coming into force of an agreement between [[Kaiser Raynor XII]] and the [[Nathaniel Ayreon-Kalirion|Emir Nathaniel Ayreon-Kalirion of Sathrati]] the title Emir of Sathrati is recognized in the Imperial Peerage of Shireroth. To the common language, the aforesaid title is translated as Imperial Prince of Shireroth, and was given the same prestige and grandeur as is befitting an imperial prince and emir of the Babkhan peerage. Under the same agreement is any descendant of Rashid Shahanshah Arsalani Padeshah of Babkha, Qaisar-e Sathrati, also known as [[Kaiser Ayreon|Kaiser Ayreon the Still]], recognized to hold the style of Imperial Highness and the title Scion of the King of Kings. <br />
<br />
The aforesaid agreement also stipulates that:<br />
*succession to the title Imperial Prince of Shireroth is governed under the by-laws of the Emirate of Sathrati;<br />
*all Emirs of Sathrati must swear an oath of fealty to the [[The Kaiser|Qaisar-e Sathrati]];<br />
*the Emirate shall hold the island of Zy-Rodun, with the title Marquess of Zy-Rodun being a subsidiary title of the Emir of Sathrati;<br />
*the Emirate cedes any property it may hold on [[Eura]] to the [[The Kaiser|Kaiser]].<br />

<div>[[File:Arms_Ayreon-Kalirion10.png|600px|thumb|right|<div class="center" style="width: auto; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;">The [[coat of arms of the House of Ayreon-Kalirion]]</div> ]]<br />
The '''line of Ayreon-Kalirion''' is an [[Imperial Bloodline|imperial bloodline]] closely related to, but not a descendant of, the [[line of Kalir]]. Whereas the line of Kalir has [[Kaiser Los I]] as its progenitor, Ayreon-Kalirion has Los's sister [[Tuuler Kalir]] as its progenitress.<br />
<br />
==Definition==<br />
<br />
The line of Ayreon-Kalirion is currently defined as including all the descendants of the union of Princess Isa of [[Brookshire]], also known as Tuuler Kalir (1420-1512), and the [[Babkha|Babkhan]] anthropologist Eskender Arsalani (1418-1499). <br />
<br />
[[Elwynn|Elwynnese]] culture has throughout the ages consistently seen adoption as a ritual transforming the blood of the adopted children to that of their new parents. Tradition therefore places adopted children among the descendants of the Eskender-Kalir union. Some , mainly [[Cedrism|Cedrist]], scholars are skeptical towards such a definition.<br />
<br />
Following the ascension of Eskender's son [[Kaiser Ayreon|Rashid]] to the imperial throne of Babkha, the line is an imperial dynastic house in Babkha. Descendants of Shah Rashid carry the title "Scion of the King of Kings" in recognition of it. <br />
<br />
The House of Ayreon-Kalirion is governed by its charter; its head is the [[Emir of Sathrati]].<br />
<br />
==Name and Etymology ==<br />
<br />
"Ayreon" is the Praeta spelling of the Elw proper noun ''Aireoon'', which in turn is derived from the adjective/genitive ''aireoon'', meaning "of the lions" (from ''aire'', plural of ''ire'', "lion").<br />
<br />
It was chosen as the regal name in Shireroth of the former Shah of Babkha, Rashid Arsalani (also known as Richard Lyon), as a translation of his Babkhan dynastic name, ''Arsalani''. However, given the deity Ayreon in Cedrist mythology, the name was deemed acceptable in the then-traditional parts of the Imperial Court. Names were supposed to reflect Cedrist gods, despite the non-Cedrist belief of the majority of the Elwynnese nation.<br />
<br />
It is unknown whether there is a connexion in etymology between the Elwynnese 'Ayreon' and the Cedrist god 'Ayreon' (god of music). Given though that lions are seen as musical creatures in Elw mythology, it is not unlikely.<br />
<br />
''Kalirion'' is derived from the Hyperborean name of Princess Isa of Brookshire, Tuuler Kalirion, and means "of Kalir", Kalir being an archaic Hyperborean dynasty. The etymology of ''Kalir'' is believed to be related to a Hyperborean word for the polar bear.<br />
<br />
== Origins ==<br />
<br />
Due to the close relationship between the lines of Kalir and Ayreon-Kalirion, the history of the both of them are instrinsically linked. <br />
<br />
Due to [[Hyperborea]]'s remoteness and isolationism, many foreigners are surprised to learn that the island has a bloodline of its own - but not so its inhabitants, all of whom are supremely proud of the so-called "Hyperborean bloodline", the Line of Kalir. <br />
<br />
Taksi Kamheinion, chief genealogist at [[Thule|Tala]], has researched the origin of the Line of Kalir. He writes that the origins are thought to come from the marriage of Prince Paul of Brookshire to Lady Sora of Hyperborea. The following extract is from his work:<br />
<br />
"The origins of the Line of Kalir date back over two thousand [ASC] years in the past, when Hyperborea was still an independent country. A series of disasters, including the eruption of [[Mount Yaanek]], led to political and economic dependence on Benacia, while the unification efforts between [[Shireroth]] and Machiavellia led the [[The Kaiser|Kaiser]] in Shirekeep to dream of a united [[Benacia|Benacian]] empire that stretched from Gallica to Vanaheim. The Hyperboreans bowed to pressure from [[Shirekeep]] and entered into a weak political union with Shireroth. Further disasters, including the cataclysmic Mount Yaanek eruption of S'3234 [A.N. 1335], weakened the government still further, and adventurers and mercenaries from various lands began trying to "colonize" Hyperborea. The native government, worried that it would be unable to deal with these incursions, eventually petitioned the Kaiser for annexation, which was granted.<br />
<br />
"The Shirerithian delegation to Thulel was led by Prince Paul Raynor (Prince here should not be interpreted as the son of a Kaiser, but rather as a title given to very high-ranking nobles with substantial Imperial blood; this Prince was [[Duke]] of Brookshire and also the head of the [[Line of Raynor|House of Raynor]] at the time; the Kaiser, Ari 0, was only distantly related). Raynor stayed in Hyperborea for eight months, negotiating with the Council, expelling foreign mercenaries, and setting up the apparatus of Shirerithian government. While there, against the wishes of his family he married a Hyperborean girl. The ''Book of the Dolphin King'' gives her name as Sora (Kadhamic Soran), but the ''Book of the Benacian Conquest'' gives it as Sairia (Kadhamic Sirin). To confuse matters further, Meigi Arision lists it as Aira (Kadhamic Yarin) and cites no source for the discrepancy. I will be primarily drawing from the ''BDK'' and using Sora.<br />
<br />
"Although women were essentially equal to men during this period, and many women had high positions in politics and even in the military struggle against foreign mercenaries, Sora was not one of them. In fact, we have almost no record of any activities of Sora whatsoever. Arision said that she was so quiet that many people who knew her only distantly gained the impression that she was mute, although this was absolutely untrue. She was short and, by all accounts, neither unusually ugly nor unusually pretty. At the age of nineteen, when she met Prince Paul, she was a minor bureaucrat in the Elithian religious hierarchy in Kalen, but did not have any strong religious convictions. The few accounts of her that survive suggest she had few close friends and few interests. Our only clue to her character was a passage from the ''BtBC'' claiming that she kept a small picture of Kaya Kalirion near her bed. Arision claims, with characteristic flair, that she was distantly descended from Kaya; if she believed that, it may have greatly affected the future Line of Kalir; however, there is no proof of this.<br />
<br />
"Sora is one of the major mysteries of the history of the Imperial Bloodlines. Not only is it unclear why Prince Paul should have fallen in love with someone so completely unremarkable, it is unclear how he would have met her in the first place. His diplomatic duties should have restricted him to Thulel, a good three inrhonal from Kalen; their social circles should not have intersected in any case. Nevertheless, the BDK not only gives an account of their relationship, but insists that it was Paul who tried to woo a reluctant Sora, rather than the other way around. Sora herself seemed someone offput by the Shirerithian prince, and letters by her father (almost the only source we have of her feelings, as she never kept a diary or wrote anything by herself) suggest that she simply wanted to be left alone (these letters have since been lost, but a short summary of their contents by Eithi Ainainion survives in the library in Tala). The Prince stayed at least two months longer than planned in Hyperborea, possibly in order to woo her. We have no record of how he did so, but annals of the Brookshirerithian court reveal that when he arrived home in S'3258, it was with Sora as his wife. Records suggest that other members of House Raynor, who expected a marriage of convenience to an important noble, were angered by the choice, but that the Prince eventually managed to calm them down).<br />
<br />
"Sora (who apparently took, or was given, the Brookshirerithian name Sara) lived in Brookshire as [[Duchess]] for two years. During that time, she was as quiet and devoid of impact as during her time in Hyperborea. She scandalized the court by never appearing at state dinners, refused any servants except for two young children, and many confidantes of the Duke report never having seen her. The only reason she remains of interest to Brookshirithian historians at all is her disappearance in 3260. One day, the Duke woke up and the Duchess simply was not there. Court officials immediately suspected foul play, but no ransom notes or demands sprang up, the Duke had no real enemies, and the Duchess was so apolitical that no faction could conceivably benefit from her removal. Taisi Olurion, collaborating with Brookshirerithian historian (and Raynor descendant) Aeric Raynor at John Metzler III University produced an interesting article on theories surrounding the disappearance; see Raynor, A & Olurion, T: "Sara Raynor and the Mysterious Origin of the Kalir Bloodline". I myself have confirmed that the Brookshirerithian Ducal Court is the only place south of Hyperborea where a nipil-rosebush grows, and I have no better explanation for the fact than Olurion does.<br />
<br />
"The Duke, though fanatically devoted to his wife during their marriage, seemed only mildly upset by her disappearance (Olurion analyzes and rejects the suggestion that this was because he was responsible for it: ibid, p. 29-31). He remarried within three months, to the daughter of the Baron of Lunaris - a textbook standard match for the nobility of the era. The new Duchess got the responsibility of raising Paul and Sora's son, Kian, who was four months old at the time of his mother's disappearance. She did so only partially and distantly, leaving most of his upbringing to various governesses hired for the task. We know from Brookshire court records that he was raised as a proper Brookshirithian heir in every way. Although his guardians made no secret of his part-Hyperborean ancestry, they did not make any attempt to instruct him in Hyperborean culture, and he, for his part, did not make any attempt to learn it.<br />
<br />
"Which makes it all the more surprising that the next we hear of him, he had moved to Thulel and taken the Hyperborean name Kalir Sethan (Common: ''Kal'ri Sethanion''). Although some historians (especially Arision) try to link his decision to a conflict with his father or stepmother over the succession, there is no historical evidence for this, and a few letters suggest he and the Duke of Brookshire remained on good terms until the latter's death.<br />
<br />
"The name Kalir Sethan is another mystery. The name "Kalir", meaning "polar bear", was quite presumptious; polar bears were respected as, if not quite gods, at least superior spirits, and for that reason they were rarely cited in names. Further, we know from his own letters that Kian (who somehow attained a grasp of Kadhamic equalling scholars who had studied it since kindergarten) interpeted it with the grammatically correct by somewhat unusual meaning "noble mirror"; probably a reference to myth in which the Prince of Storms gives a magic mirror to the city of Kalen in exchange for the Kalenese maiden he seized as a wife. The relationship to his parents' family history is suggestive but ultimately incomprehensible.<br />
<br />
"Contemporary accounts of Kalir focus on his intense energy. His wife's letters describe him as "sleeping at most three hours a night, even in Deep Winter, and unable to sit still for more than a few minutes." If the chronologies from the ''Amethyst Annals'' are to be believed, he wrote his three most famous books - ''Hyperborean Government Within the Shirerithian State'', ''The Kadhamic Mandate'' and ''Out of Winter from the East'' within a single year. His work on governance, which breathed new life into the ancient Council system by reinterpreting the rules laid down by Kadham, gained him an invitation to the Council of Nine. He became Elder the following year, the fifth-youngest Elder ever. The ''Amethyst Annals'' give an exhaustive account of his thirty-three year tenure in that position, during which he fully synchronized the Shirerithian and Hyperborean governments and rebuilt the economy practically from scratch."<br />

<br />
'''Tuuler Kalir''' (1420-1512), also known as '''Princess Isa of Brookshire''' or '''Isa Raynor''' and cheered as the '''Duchy's Delight''' when she was young, is the progenitress of the [[Imperial Bloodline]] of [[Line of Ayreon-Kalirion|Ayreon-Kalirion]] and the [[House of Ayreon-Kalirion|Imperial House of the same name]]. Among her descendants are, among others, a Shah of [[Babkha]], three [[The Kaiser|Kaisers]] of [[Shireroth]], and several [[Rulers of Elwynn|Rulers]] of [[Elwynn]].<br />
<br />
==Appearance and Personality==<br />
The Lady Tuuler was a very quiet person who liked to be on her own, but also was always full of love for the people she cared about. She enjoyed going out camping in the desert, looking at rocks and soil. She hated snow and ice, it is said, and she became quite the Babkhan in the end. Speaking [[Babkhi]], taking Babkhan culture as her own.<br />
<br />
==Parents and Siblings==<br />
Tuuler is the daughter of Prince Paul of [[Brookshire]] and his wife Sora of [[Hyperborea]].<br />
<br />
She had a younger brother: Prince Kian of of Brookshire who later in life moved to Hyberborea where he took the Hyperborean name of Kalir Sethan and quickly rose to the membership of the Council of Nine, becoming the fifth-youngest Elder ever. Several years after that he became [[The Kaiser|Kaiser]] of the [[Imperial Republic]] of [[Shireroth]] as [[Kaiser Los I|Los I]] as well as the progenitor of the Imperial Bloodline of [[Line of Ayreon-Kalirion|Kalir]].<br />
<br />
==Marriage==<br />
In 1442 she married the [[Babkha|Babkhan]] anthropologist Eskender Arsalani (1418-1499).<br />
<br />
==Children==<br />
Two childeren were born fom Tuuler's marriage with Eskender: first a daughter who was given the name Hanna Arsalani, also known as Johanna van der Graaf, and a couple of years later a son who bore the name of [[Kaiser Ayreon|Rashid Arsalani]].<br />

<div>[[File:Arms_Ayreon-Kalirion10.png|600px|thumb|right|<div class="center" style="width: auto; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;">The [[coat of arms of the House of Ayreon-Kalirion]]</div> ]]<br />
<br />
The '''coat of arms of the House of Ayreon''' consists, on its shield, a depiction of Mount Yaanek and its sister peaks against a dark sky illuminated by an eight-pointed star. The shield is supported by two Euran golden lions, and rests on a bed of white orchids and Shahzamini roses. At the helm, there is a Brookshirean coronet, crested by a crowned Euran red lion. The motto is in Babkhi, شیر شما درد نکنه (''šir-e shomâ dard nakone'', in English "may the lion not hurt [you]".<br />
<br />
<br />
== Shield ==<br />
<br />
<br />
The shield shares similarities with the Shield of Kalir, which the symbol of the [[Line of Kalir]], and with the Shield of the [[Emirate of Sathrati]].<br />
<br />
The view of the mountains is a stylicized view over the Hyperborean mountain Yaanek (Ianakve, 3273 metres over sea level), in Elwynnese mythology the resting place of the goddess Elwynn until the end of the world. It is a site of pilgrimage for followers of Treesian and Elwynnese native religions, as well as for members of the Vanic faith. It symbolizes both the house's roots to Raikoth and mainland Elwynn.<br />
<br />
The mountains lie against a dark sky, symbolizing the polar night of northern Elwynn. At Yaanek, the polar night stretches almost half the year. The sky, and the mountains, are illuminated however by an eight-pointed star, .<br />
<br />
The origins of the star come from Tymaria. The star was part of the flag of Tymaria, of which Shireroth once was part. It later came to represent Shireroth as a whole, for example in the coat of arms of Shireroth (but on a red background), and was after the [[Cession of Hasan]] and the subsequent creation of the [[Emirate of Sathrati]], taken to represent the Emirate of Sathrati when on a black sky.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
== Supporters ==<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
The two supporters of the shield are two Euran golden lions. On Eura, two types of lions existed (some may still exist in parts of the continent, unconfirmed for now), golden and red lions. <br />
<br />
The name "Ayreon" is based on an Elw translation of the Persian ''Arsalani'', "lion". For that reason, lions are supporters. Despite ''Kalirion'' being derived from a Hyperborean word for polar bear, polar bears do not adorn the coat of arms.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
== Compartment and motto ==<br />
<br />
<br />
The supporters stand on a bed of white orchids (representing Elwynn) and crimson roses (representing Babkha).<br />
<br />
The motto شیر شما درد نکنه (''šir-e shomâ dard nakone'', in English "may the lion not hurt [you]") refers to what the then Shah of Babkha (Babak) told Princess Isa of Brookshire just before she married Eskender Arsalani (nicknamed šir, another word for "lion", because of his last name).<br />

The '''line of Ayreon-Kalirion''' is an [[Imperial Bloodline|imperial bloodline]] closely related to, but not a descendant of, the [[line of Kalir]]. Whereas the line of Kalir has [[Kaiser Los I]] as its progenitor, Ayreon-Kalirion has Los's sister Tuuler Kalir as its progenitress.<br />
<br />
==Definition==<br />
<br />
The line of Ayreon-Kalirion is currently defined as including all the descendants of the union of Princess Isa of [[Brookshire]], also known as Tuuler Kalir (1420-1512), and the Babkhan anthropologist Eskender Arsalani (1418-1499). <br />
<br />
[[Elwynn|Elwynnese]] culture has throughout the ages consistently seen adoption as a ritual transforming the blood of the adopted children to that of their new parents. Tradition therefore places adopted children among the descendants of the Eskender-Kalir union. Some , mainly [[Cedrism|Cedrist]], scholars are skeptical towards such a definition.<br />
<br />
Following the ascension of Eskender's son Rashid to the imperial throne of Babkha, the line is an imperial dynastic house in Babkha. Descendants of Shah Rashid carry the title "Scion of the King of Kings" in recognition of it. <br />
<br />
The House of Ayreon-Kalirion is governed by its charter; its head is the [[Emir of Sathrati]].<br />
<br />
==Name and Etymology ==<br />
<br />
"Ayreon" is the Praeta spelling of the Elw proper noun ''Aireoon'', which in turn is derived from the adjective/genitive ''aireoon'', meaning "of the lions" (from ''aire'', plural of ''ire'', "lion").<br />
<br />
It was chosen as the regal name in Shireroth of the former Shah of Babkha, Rashid Arsalani (also known as Richard Lyon), as a translation of his Babkhan dynastic name, ''Arsalani''. However, given the deity Ayreon in Cedrist mythology, the name was deemed acceptable in the then-traditional parts of the Imperial Court. Names were supposed to reflect Cedrist gods, despite the non-Cedrist belief of the majority of the Elwynnese nation.<br />
<br />
It is unknown whether there is a connexion in etymology between the Elwynnese 'Ayreon' and the Cedrist god 'Ayreon' (god of music). Given though that lions are seen as musical creatures in Elw mythology, it is not unlikely.<br />
<br />
''Kalirion'' is derived from the Hyperborean name of Princess Isa of Brookshire, Tuuler Kalirion, and means "of Kalir", Kalir being an archaic Hyperborean dynasty. The etymology of ''Kalir'' is believed to be related to a Hyperborean word for the polar bear.<br />
<br />
== Origins ==<br />
<br />
Due to the close relationship between the lines of Kalir and Ayreon-Kalirion, the history of the both of them are instrinsically linked. <br />
<br />
Due to [[Hyperborea]]'s remoteness and isolationism, many foreigners are surprised to learn that the island has a bloodline of its own - but not so its inhabitants, all of whom are supremely proud of the so-called "Hyperborean bloodline", the Line of Kalir. <br />
<br />
Taksi Kamheinion, chief genealogist at [[Thule|Tala]], has researched the origin of the Line of Kalir. He writes that the origins are thought to come from the marriage of Prince Paul of Brookshire to Lady Sora of Hyperborea. The following extract is from his work:<br />
<br />
"The origins of the Line of Kalir date back over two thousand [ASC] years in the past, when Hyperborea was still an independent country. A series of disasters, including the eruption of [[Mount Yaanek]], led to political and economic dependence on Benacia, while the unification efforts between [[Shireroth]] and Machiavellia led the [[The Kaiser|Kaiser]] in Shirekeep to dream of a united [[Benacia|Benacian]] empire that stretched from Gallica to Vanaheim. The Hyperboreans bowed to pressure from [[Shirekeep]] and entered into a weak political union with Shireroth. Further disasters, including the cataclysmic Mount Yaanek eruption of S'3234 [A.N. 1335], weakened the government still further, and adventurers and mercenaries from various lands began trying to "colonize" Hyperborea. The native government, worried that it would be unable to deal with these incursions, eventually petitioned the Kaiser for annexation, which was granted.<br />
<br />
"The Shirerithian delegation to Thulel was led by Prince Paul Raynor (Prince here should not be interpreted as the son of a Kaiser, but rather as a title given to very high-ranking nobles with substantial Imperial blood; this Prince was [[Duke]] of Brookshire and also the head of the [[Line of Raynor|House of Raynor]] at the time; the Kaiser, Ari 0, was only distantly related). Raynor stayed in Hyperborea for eight months, negotiating with the Council, expelling foreign mercenaries, and setting up the apparatus of Shirerithian government. While there, against the wishes of his family he married a Hyperborean girl. The ''Book of the Dolphin King'' gives her name as Sora (Kadhamic Soran), but the ''Book of the Benacian Conquest'' gives it as Sairia (Kadhamic Sirin). To confuse matters further, Meigi Arision lists it as Aira (Kadhamic Yarin) and cites no source for the discrepancy. I will be primarily drawing from the ''BDK'' and using Sora.<br />
<br />
"Although women were essentially equal to men during this period, and many women had high positions in politics and even in the military struggle against foreign mercenaries, Sora was not one of them. In fact, we have almost no record of any activities of Sora whatsoever. Arision said that she was so quiet that many people who knew her only distantly gained the impression that she was mute, although this was absolutely untrue. She was short and, by all accounts, neither unusually ugly nor unusually pretty. At the age of nineteen, when she met Prince Paul, she was a minor bureaucrat in the Elithian religious hierarchy in Kalen, but did not have any strong religious convictions. The few accounts of her that survive suggest she had few close friends and few interests. Our only clue to her character was a passage from the ''BtBC'' claiming that she kept a small picture of Kaya Kalirion near her bed. Arision claims, with characteristic flair, that she was distantly descended from Kaya; if she believed that, it may have greatly affected the future Line of Kalir; however, there is no proof of this.<br />
<br />
"Sora is one of the major mysteries of the history of the Imperial Bloodlines. Not only is it unclear why Prince Paul should have fallen in love with someone so completely unremarkable, it is unclear how he would have met her in the first place. His diplomatic duties should have restricted him to Thulel, a good three inrhonal from Kalen; their social circles should not have intersected in any case. Nevertheless, the BDK not only gives an account of their relationship, but insists that it was Paul who tried to woo a reluctant Sora, rather than the other way around. Sora herself seemed someone offput by the Shirerithian prince, and letters by her father (almost the only source we have of her feelings, as she never kept a diary or wrote anything by herself) suggest that she simply wanted to be left alone (these letters have since been lost, but a short summary of their contents by Eithi Ainainion survives in the library in Tala). The Prince stayed at least two months longer than planned in Hyperborea, possibly in order to woo her. We have no record of how he did so, but annals of the Brookshirerithian court reveal that when he arrived home in S'3258, it was with Sora as his wife. Records suggest that other members of House Raynor, who expected a marriage of convenience to an important noble, were angered by the choice, but that the Prince eventually managed to calm them down).<br />
<br />
"Sora (who apparently took, or was given, the Brookshirerithian name Sara) lived in Brookshire as [[Duchess]] for two years. During that time, she was as quiet and devoid of impact as during her time in Hyperborea. She scandalized the court by never appearing at state dinners, refused any servants except for two young children, and many confidantes of the Duke report never having seen her. The only reason she remains of interest to Brookshirithian historians at all is her disappearance in 3260. One day, the Duke woke up and the Duchess simply was not there. Court officials immediately suspected foul play, but no ransom notes or demands sprang up, the Duke had no real enemies, and the Duchess was so apolitical that no faction could conceivably benefit from her removal. Taisi Olurion, collaborating with Brookshirerithian historian (and Raynor descendant) Aeric Raynor at John Metzler III University produced an interesting article on theories surrounding the disappearance; see Raynor, A & Olurion, T: "Sara Raynor and the Mysterious Origin of the Kalir Bloodline". I myself have confirmed that the Brookshirerithian Ducal Court is the only place south of Hyperborea where a nipil-rosebush grows, and I have no better explanation for the fact than Olurion does.<br />
<br />
"The Duke, though fanatically devoted to his wife during their marriage, seemed only mildly upset by her disappearance (Olurion analyzes and rejects the suggestion that this was because he was responsible for it: ibid, p. 29-31). He remarried within three months, to the daughter of the Baron of Lunaris - a textbook standard match for the nobility of the era. The new Duchess got the responsibility of raising Paul and Sora's son, Kian, who was four months old at the time of his mother's disappearance. She did so only partially and distantly, leaving most of his upbringing to various governesses hired for the task. We know from Brookshire court records that he was raised as a proper Brookshirithian heir in every way. Although his guardians made no secret of his part-Hyperborean ancestry, they did not make any attempt to instruct him in Hyperborean culture, and he, for his part, did not make any attempt to learn it.<br />
<br />
"Which makes it all the more surprising that the next we hear of him, he had moved to Thulel and taken the Hyperborean name Kalir Sethan (Common: ''Kal'ri Sethanion''). Although some historians (especially Arision) try to link his decision to a conflict with his father or stepmother over the succession, there is no historical evidence for this, and a few letters suggest he and the Duke of Brookshire remained on good terms until the latter's death.<br />
<br />
"The name Kalir Sethan is another mystery. The name "Kalir", meaning "polar bear", was quite presumptious; polar bears were respected as, if not quite gods, at least superior spirits, and for that reason they were rarely cited in names. Further, we know from his own letters that Kian (who somehow attained a grasp of Kadhamic equalling scholars who had studied it since kindergarten) interpeted it with the grammatically correct by somewhat unusual meaning "noble mirror"; probably a reference to myth in which the Prince of Storms gives a magic mirror to the city of Kalen in exchange for the Kalenese maiden he seized as a wife. The relationship to his parents' family history is suggestive but ultimately incomprehensible.<br />
<br />
"Contemporary accounts of Kalir focus on his intense energy. His wife's letters describe him as "sleeping at most three hours a night, even in Deep Winter, and unable to sit still for more than a few minutes." If the chronologies from the ''Amethyst Annals'' are to be believed, he wrote his three most famous books - ''Hyperborean Government Within the Shirerithian State'', ''The Kadhamic Mandate'' and ''Out of Winter from the East'' within a single year. His work on governance, which breathed new life into the ancient Council system by reinterpreting the rules laid down by Kadham, gained him an invitation to the Council of Nine. He became Elder the following year, the fifth-youngest Elder ever. The ''Amethyst Annals'' give an exhaustive account of his thirty-three year tenure in that position, during which he fully synchronized the Shirerithian and Hyperborean governments and rebuilt the economy practically from scratch."<br />
