Calandor (or previously Calantor) was first a duchy of Phalorm (from 523 to 614 DR) and later of the successor kingdom Delimbiyran (from 616 to 697 DR). After the dissolution of the Kingdom of Man, the duchy survived as an independent state under the rulership of the Calandor dynasty until 947 DR when, with the destruction of the old line the realm was ended. It would be renamed the Duchy of Daggerford by Tyndal Daggerford in 947 DR when its capital was relocated to Daggerford upon the River Delimbiyr.

History

Calantor was first formed as a duchy of Phalorm when King Javilarhh I bestowed this fiefdom upon his younger brother Faeldath in the Year of Trials Arcane (523 DR). The line of Faeldath took the name of Calantor from the ancestral seat of the Snowswords located in the foothills of the Forlorn Hills. This location was named after the elven ranger Calan of Merinth (a now lost elven village on the southern border of the High Forest, destroyed long ago by orc raiders and which was part of the now vanished realm of Pharren) who built a fortified encampment on one of the outlying hillocks, which managed to survive for a handful of years and became known as Calan’s Tor before a swooping dragon brought death and ruin to the settlement.

The dukes of Calantor gave steady and loyal service to the realms of Phalorm and Delimbiyran, embracing the brotherhood and accord between races that the former land championed and exemplifying the stability and leadership that the latter realm sought to bring to the Sword Coast North in the years after 616 DR.

With the death of King Davyd in the Year of the Triton’s Horn (697 DR), the Kingdom of Man was riven into a seething cauldron of ambition and intrigue. Pre-eminent among the nobles of the Kingdom of Man, Tarralin of Calantor was seen by many to be the logical inheritor of the Shining Throne of Delimbiyran, but his sudden death in 698 DR saw any chance of unity among the humans of the Delimbiyr vanish. Tarralin’s son and successor, the proud and overbearing Baroth, was disliked by most of the established nobles of the region, even where they had strongly supported his father. His brazen attempts to curry favor with gifts and flattery quickly wore thin, and his clumsy attempts to manipulate events to garner him a throne were dashed when one of his chief rivals, Lord Orlen Amanatas, was slain in a “brigand attack” that was all too clearly nothing of the kind, following the defeat of orc raiders in 702 DR. Reviled and shunned from that time, Baroth’s calls for unity fell on deaf ears and his ambitions died with him when he was slain in the great fires that engulfed the city of Delimbiyran in the Year of Doom (714 DR).

Baroth had changed the name of his ducal holding to Calandor, seeking to differentiate his time and rule from that of his predecessors, and the name remained with his passing. Following this, the realm of Calandor remained “first among equals” in the cluster of human lands that were formed in the wake of Delimbiyran’s fall, its rulers wielding not insignificant influence and power throughout the environs of the Sword Coast North.

The realm was eventually re-named the Duchy of Daggerford by Tyndal, son-in-law of the last ruling duke of Calandor, Maeran, when he assumed rulership following Maeran’s death. Tyndal had married Eleesa of Calandor in 945 DR and assumed rule in the Year of the Advancing Wind (947 DR).
