Category:Kaldar

Physically identical to the Gorbesh, the Kaldar are as much a political party as a race. Desiring a purer and more natural way of life where individual heroism and honor can be valued -- as opposed to the regimented army-camp existence of the Gorbesh Empire -- they followed the Gnomic prophet Trimbolt in a mass migration to the Dragon's Realms.

Terrible to behold in a melée, the Kaldar laugh at the storm and sneer at those who would shiver behind civilized walls during the winter. Within the Kaldar society the path of magic is frowned upon since, to their minds, it is better to go the path the gods intended for their naturally tall, strong peoples.

Kaldar take offense to the proposal that they are little more than glorified Humans. Kaldar consider Humans to be over-civilized and under-exercised -- in a word, "soft". The Kaldar society co-existed peacefully with the Gnomes, the stronger, taller species acting as much-needed defenders and protectors. Kaldar like the cold, and enjoy taking icy-cold baths in the middle of winter.
