Chronicler's Note: This timeline is specific to the Kingdom of Kaldor to 1 Helane 719.

His empire leaves numerous monuments behind and serves as the impetus for many of the tribes he conquered to strive for 'civilization.'

Claudia Tane becomes a figure of national legend, and is credited with converting Medrik I and the great houses of Kaldor to the Monist faith. Her relationship to Medrik I is a matter of controversy. Ancient manuscripts describe her as being his sister-wife, but many argue this is not possible and, as a result, suggest she was his niece. Other manuscripts refer to her as beinga Nurelian Princess given to Medrik in thrall. A warrior and poet, she eventually becomes the patron saint of the Order of St. Claudia Our Lady of Paladins.
