Kalan (city)

One of the Twin Dagger Cities, Kalan was ruled by King Sir James Phelps at the start of the campaign, and subsequently by Queen Judy, prior to her death at the hands of a fiendish imposter. Following the imposter's "death" (departure), the city itself was taken over by Colonel Lionel (leader of the Thundercats, the queen's elite guard) under the rule of Jocelyn, Queen of Klortho. Recent rumours, however, indicate that the city may have fallen under the dominion of The True Order.

Kalan is the easternmost of the two Twin Dagger Cities - as such, it fields most trade traffic from the Whispering Forest and from Moradin, as well as serving as a port of call for sea traders from abroad. The city itself is surrounded by high walls (and water on three sides), making it highly defensible. Kalan serves as one of the two main stops for the Mage College, Buoyanth.

Battles in the arena were held roughly once per week, up until shortly after the death of the imposter Queen Judy, where it was disbanded. The Arena was well received by the city's residents, whose morale and nationalist furor was at an all-time high as a result.
