I'm far from a glorified human. I chose a kaldar after reading their history. I liked it. The gorbesh had become too militaristic. Kaldars wanted to get back to a more natural way of life. They are a strong proud people, who came to Kemoria after something. Now we seem a lost wondering people.
That's one reason it has always irked me that the only kaldar npc's I have seen were ship pilots. Would they have not try to settle down somewhere? Band together with others like them just to see familiar faces?

There are a few Kaldar NPCs who aren't on ships. Vishlan for instance. That said...
Kaldar tend to be all about the individual glory. That's part, I believe, of what made them cast aside the "weakness" of the regimented/regimental Gorbesh lifestyle (pretty sure something somewhere supports that, I'd have to look it up for an exact citation). Also, the Gorbesh race has a long, proud history of seafaring, so it doesn't surprise me many would take to a life at sea.
If I were to draw parallels I'd say the Gorbesh lifestyle is akin to ancient Sparta (individual glory is good, but ultimately all for the state). The Kaldar lifestyle is much more akin to hunter-gatherers crossed with Vikings (individual glory first, contributing as part of a fighting unit when needed, because numbers are necessary and useful, or because the Emperor commands it for those who remain loyal in Albaria).
Just my take.

The leader of the Crossing Trader Guild is a Kaldar. There's also a big and tall store in riverhaven run by Kaldar and Gor'togs. If you think about it, Kaldar have only been in Elanthia for a few decades. Hardly enough to get established in any real sense.
>I also wanted to add that I think that a GM once thought that Kaldars should be depicted like that of Native Americans.
...uh, no. The Wind Elves already fit that analog and I hate seeing cultures in-game that are lifted wholesale from real-life stereotypes. Personal preference aside, the Kaldar clearly have better technology and a far different state system than most (or rather, all) Native American tribes.
>The Kaldar may be war like in that sense.
LOL WHAT

A small note reads:
The clothing on this mannequin represents a lovely Kaldaran wedding ensemble. ~~ Ethna ~~
some thin leather-strapped sandals threaded with tiny carved beads
Price: 2300 Dokoras
Pale wooden beads are carved with the image of various flowers. The thin straps are long enough to lace up the calves, cinched at the top by tiny gold coin clasps.
a soft ivory doeskin skirt edged in beaded fringe
Price: 2884 Dokoras
Pale wooden beads take on the form of various flowers, their petals carved in fine detail. The supple skirt falls to mid-calf with its seams embroidered with tiny green leaves and golden acorns.
a soft ivory doeskin bodice laced up the front with pale leather cord
Price: 4104 Dokoras
Sleeveless, this bodice is embroidered along its seams with tiny green leaves and golden acorns. The thin leather cord weaves its way down the front of the bodice to be cinched at the bottom with a tiny gold coin clasp.
a pale carved wooden armband with a single dangling owl feather
Price: 1398 Dokoras
Tiny leaves and acorns are carved upon this armband and are painted in dark greens and gold. An owl peeks out from behind one of the leaves, the dangling feather clasped in its tiny claws.
These are clothing items for a female Kaldar, and in my opion they seemed Native American and rangerly in design.
All I was saying is that, perhaps a GM when he/she was in the room to design clothing for a Kaldaran wedding outfit, they might have envisioned Kaldars wearing more natural attire during a wedding ceremony. Carved beads, sandals.... These items are hardly ones that a paladin, barbarian or war-mage would wear.
And many Native Americans ARE war-like.
I think it's pretty ignorant to say stuff like "they're like native americans!" because it's not like native americans are a single cultural group or anything remotely like that. Tribes and their cultures and their beliefs differ a LOT depending on where you are and who you are talking to. It's more than just the crap you see in westerns and watching Pocahontas.
I have full-blooded great grandparents so maybe my perspective here is different.

You're confusing doeskin with buckskin. Doeskin is usually wool, especially when we're talking about a shirt. A white shirt. Is it more likely that it's made of warm woven cloth, or that it came out of Bruno's closet?
You're also confusing "native american" with a designation that accurately represents a wildly heterogenous group of people.
I don't want to make this a giant racial debate, but since nearly all native american tribes were pre-state societies and lacked even bronze age technology, no, they didn't really tend to engage in war on any scale larger than the occasional raid. The Kaldar are in another league for so many reasons that the comparison is completely stupid.

There's substantial misunderstandings about the level of technology and culture in North America pre-colonization, primarily because -- as best as we can figure -- over half the population of North America had been wiped out due to European diseases that the early explorers brought.
At the very least, there's strong evidence to support sophisticated nations along the Mississippi, the Hopi were city dwellers and the Central American natives were building empires.

True, but these people weren't wearing steel platemail and blowing up the Vatican in 1600, and neither were any of their neighbors or trading partners.
Just saying, it's a fairly nonsensical comparison.

Definition of Doeskin:
The skin of a doe, deer, or goat.
Leather made from this skin, used especially for gloves.
A fine, soft, smooth woolen fabric.
A densely napped finish for certain woolen fabrics, such as flannel.
And there are many pictures online that that show doeskin as a tan leather.
It seems it has stuck a cord with a few of you for me to mention that maybe wearing doeskin wedding clothes with carved wooden beads could actually resemble something a Native American Indian woman might wear.
I didn't realize that commenting about my opinion, """"MY OPINION"""", to the person that started this post would cause such heat.
Everyone seems to want to be augumentative and only interested in being right.
I compared a few aspects of clear Native American virtues with that of the Kaldar. I did not broadly state that they were exactly alike. If in MY opinion I think that they resemble a Native American tribe then please do not get so offended if it differs from what your view of what a Kaldar are like.

>> I think it's pretty ignorant to say stuff like "they're like native americans!"
Calling people "ignorant" is just going to cause problems. Everyone has a right to THINK or have thier opinion or visions. Laeorna is not ignorant about anything being married to someone also with a native american heritage. Most of us don't take it personally, it's a game and roleplay.
>> they didn't really tend to engage in war on any scale larger than the occasional raid.
French and Indian War, Revolutionary war, second seminole war? American indians have been fighting thier whole lives throughout history. Most were large scale wars or simply tribes being involved in them. It was more than just an occassional raid party. I'm really trying to get off topic here, sorry.
If you think of a Kaldar it would be easy to assume they LIVE like native americans in the wild, so do rangers for that matter and I think that's what she meant. Wind elves do seem to have a patent on the whole native american culture ideal from a in game sense according to how horse clan looks.
I always visioned Kaldar more of a viking like race. Maybe not so much the Kaldar, but perhaps the Gorbesh. I also believe lore indicates they were/are excellent ship builders and masters of naval vessels/sailors so that may be why you see so many as captains of boats. I have seen many other NPC's as well. Doeskin can be used two different ways. As a leather, you remove the hair and tan the skin. This is used for many items including clothing. The hair itself can be use for weaving to make clothing which is the other form of use. I know this from living around people my whole life that hunt to live and most use every part of the animal they can. When I was younger I toyed around with tanning as well, it's a fun hobby. Also,Yes, some people still hunt to feed thier families. We're good old folk out here in rural North Carolina.
I also don't think because the Kaldar returned to nature they are any less apt to go to war with someone. Sure, they aren't war mongering like the Gorbesh there are many circumstances where they have fought though. The battled along side the Gorbesh and with the Gorbesh. Many in game are paladins, they aren't Gorbesh. Many are rangers, war mages, ect. ect. ect. I think most Kaldar are killing undead are they? Fight against the outcast in the outcast war? Well, then they're able to war with stuffs.
Some comments were made in other posts on how nice and ritzy some kaldar items have been in the past, silks I think. I don't see any reason they should not be. A kaldar that does not wish to take up a sword or bow could have easily took up a trade. Tanner, tailor, cook, or any other type of craftsman. Given enough time and passing the knowledge down generation to generation, it has been a while since the kaldar arrived in Kermoria, there's no reason these trademen and tradeswomen would not have fine tuned thier skills to be elite crafters. Also, just because a Kaldar item is made does not necessarily mean it's for a Kaldar or has to be. Perhaps some princess or King enjoys the fine feel of icesilk or the look of Albarian lace.

Remember the actual definition of ignorant is that you don't know something. Ignorant != stupid. If you get super insulted by someone saying that you don't seem to know about something I don't know what to tell you.
Regardless Kaldar definitely seem a lot more nordic than anything else.

Certainly, there's no question that Eurasia developed a level of technology undreamed of by America. But they were certainly more advanced on the whole than the popular "nomads in teepees" image, and particularly in the southern US and Central America, absolutely not strangers to nation-level war.
Technology alone would not have stopped the North Americans from throwing the European settlers back into the sea -- for (most of our) fathers' sake, politics and plagues also factored heavily into the colonization of America.

A good portion of Eurasian technological development also went to counteracting Eurasian military technological development, and old tech quickly was left behind. By colonial times, armor that would have protected well against arrows was entirely obsolete against Eurasian firearms and thus fairly rare. Powhatan Confederation archers were able to skirmish in and fire six shots for every one shot reported by colonists at Jamestown, all the while maintaining proper cover behind trees. Settlers were unable to keep up, and desperately needed consistent reinforcement from England. If it weren't for Wahunsunacawh's death, Virginia may not have taken off.
And yes, I cheated and looked up his name so that I didn't have to reference anything mentioned in the Pocahontas story.

Personal roleplay will of course differ, because it's reasonable to expect that different Kaldar would develop different personalities based largely on the differing experiences they have had since journeying to (or growing up in) Elanthia. I'm glad to see this thread explode, though.

I'd like to see some Kaldar items or shops added in, a village, maybe a bit of Gorbesh/kaldar NPC roleplay action, racial titles, anything would be neat. I had a strange idea of a Kaldar village that could only be accessed by traveling through the hand. Though that wouldn't make sense would it? That would be in Albaria. Also, there's no way to access the area without a Emerald Knight badge. Hrm, NPC Emerald Knight escort?
>>Ask knight about escort.
No ranger stands alone.

>>Curious, what sort of items would people like to see that are Kaldar/Albarian vs Gorbesh items.
I'd like to see an Albarian war horn that increases the hunting spawn in the Reene area. Only one generates per hunter, and sometimes none generate at all when she isn't in the mood.
I'd also like to see something like an Albarian water blade because IIRC Reenes are weak against water.

I'd just like to thank everyone who has given nice background information, and defended their ideas with some grace instead of out right attacks a very large thank you. I'd also like to thank everyone who just responded, this definitely seems like a race where there is a lot more of a want to role-play then some of the others (though I am only using posts on the forums for this very arbitrary belief).
Once again thanks, and continue to delve into the deeper Kaldar!

You see an awesome table and a rad table.
Obvious Exits: None.
>look on awesome table
On the awesome table you see some awesomesilk.
>look awesomesilk
The awesomesilk was made BY KALDAR, FOR KALDAR.
Pretty sure GM Tiesse originally had awesomesilk, which would make it a silk for Human Thieves. (but only really cool female ones)
Eylhaar whispers, "Celitha, to Myself come you now. This life abandon and to the Void yourself give. Without pain or strife My eternal abode is. The touch of the Void feel you now."

A lot of beaded fringe, feathers, carved beads, doeskin style clothing also applies to Wind Clan Elves, so I am not sure you can really say Kaldars own this style, some River Elven clothing is also like this, as are several general Ranger type items.

>> You left out Musparan and kniynit silk made from sand spiders.
Musparan silk doesn't count because it's on the same vein as Persian silk.
But sure, khiynit counts.

Xalahai says, "Then I will go hide in my tower where nobody can get to me. Because I am the greatest. Ever."
