Caledor is a High Elf realm bearing a proud martial tradition. Named after its founder Caledor Dragontamer[1a], the realm is located between Ellyrion, Tiranoc and Eataine in Ulthuan.
History
Before the elves came to Caledor, the area was the home to many dragons, lairing amongst the volcanic caves and tunnels, linnign their nests with the gems and metals easily found nearby. The dragons here grew quickly and became larger than those of other lands whilst the population incrased until they could darken the skies with their numbers. [3a]
Caledor Dragontamer claimed this area and managed to obtain their loyalty through powerful sorcery, gaining great power over the other elves of Ulthuan. [3a]
As the continent was attacked by Daemons, only Caledor and its dragons were able to hold strogn against them, and when Aenarion travelled to the region to gain support, Caledor recognised him as chosen by Asuryan and presented him with Indraugnir, the greatest and oldest of the dragons of Caledor. [3a]
Later the many lairs of the Dragons began to cool and the dragons themselves became more and more sleepy, harder to awaken to ride to battle. Even when they can be awakened, now they often tire quickly so the Dragon lords only rouse them when absolutely neccesary. [3a]
