Calador

Calador was born in the First Age, to King Caledor of the Avallani. Brother to Melwen, as the youngest he was never as influential as his sister. Melwen was the heir, so Calador was often overlooked. Despite this, he and his sister were very close, and rarely fought.
The history of Calador in many ways coincides with the history of Melwen, and of the whole of Gaiana, so little will be said here. After the Elven exodus, Calador was given control of Enedhaur, the sister kingdom of Edhelnore, and became a king in his own right. He married a high-ranking Wood-Elf from Tauron, named Mirini, in an attempt to strengthen the friendship between the two races. They enjoy a happy marriage yet only recently was a child produced- Prospero. Prospero, as Calador's only son, is in the unique position of being heir to both Enedhaur and Edhelnore.
When the Angoloth arrived in Iaurdor, Calador had the foresight to recognize them as a strong ally. He welcomed them, and allowed them to occupy all the lands around his kingdom. A treaty was signed between them, of friendship and mutual alliance; the Elven realm had never been safer. Calador watched as the Morrim were driven off, and the borders of Enedhaur became secure.
Calador is a wise king, yet can be occasionally hedonistic. Since the coming of the Parzifans he has become more and more complacent. Yet his people adore him, and feel their realm is safe. Unlike his sister, Calador has never truly suffered at the hands of man, and trusts them. He follows a much more martial stance, too, preferring skill of arms over magic. Once every 10 years, Calador holds meetings with the King of Ardadain- an extremely frequent affair for an Elf.
