Baronial Revolt

Period: 599–603 TR

When King Iemald died with no heir, fifteen claimants waged a confused power struggle. While most nobles pressed their own claims, Haldan, Earl of Olokand, earned a reputation for honesty.

After three years of conflict, the Earl of Balim, realizing his own claim was opposed by most of Kaldor’s nobility and discerning a rising star, proposed that Haldan take the crown. Haldan accepted the kingship in 603, founding the Clan Elendsa.
