Originating from the Manticore Clan, these people were merely farmers during the reign of the Sorian Empire. Now, in present day the people of the Kingdom of Kaldera are the very definition of brave, hard working and humble. Responsible for the bulk of domestic fruits, vegetables and meat for Isstia, the Kalderans are hard working and devoted to their trades. It is believed that the Kalderans have everything needed to rise to the wealthiest of all the minor kingdoms, though their humble ways and firm beliefs of hospitality and self-sacrifice place them comfortably in the middle of the economic ladder.
The Kalderans believe in working for everything one has and there is nothing more difficult for a Kalderans than to accept charity from another. Should a Kalderans ever accept charity, the giving party should expect to be paid back in full as quickly as possible. Anything more is unacceptable.
Like many of the other kingdoms, the people of Kaldera are known for a few of things that make them unique. These are outlined below:
-
- Work First, Education Second: Another element of life as Kalderan is the introduction of hard work and responsibility. The people of this kingdom concern themselves with academics less and often introduce their children to hard work before the age of 10. These people are the type to go to bed before the sun sets and to be up working before the sun rises. Laziness is perhaps the worst imaginable behavior that a Kalderan can exhibit. Often individuals who will not work are viewed as lesser or unworthy. Those Kalderans who favor academics often must find a way to juggle their academic and their labors.Those that can not often strike out for a new life in a more academic kingdom.
-
- Simple Clothing For Hardworking Folk: The Kalderans prefer simple, durable clothing and make use of sturdy leather boots and shoes more than most. Thicker weave materials, like wool and canvas, work better against the constant abuse of working in the dirt or with livestock and provides protection against the physical abuse that plowing fields and training. Women prefer the same types of material, though cotton is not uncommon, due to he ease in which it can be acquired, patched or replaced.
-
- Community Support & Hospitality: Kalderans are a very close-knit people. Most Kalderans never give a second thought to calling to a neighbor for help, or offering help without being asked. Furthermore, the Kalderans live by an unspoken law of hospitality, meaning that they will offer help, food, clothing or board to the needy without much hesitation.
