House of Artane 406-599
Kaldoric barons, seeking to restore the House of Tane, offered the crown to the only surviving son of Aidrik II, who was exiled in Chybisa. He took the name Aidrik III to represent continuity with the old line and legitimacy. To symbolize a fresh start, he changed the name of of his clan from Tane to Artane. Aidrik III ruled for nearly twenty years and was succeeded by his son who took the name Aidrik IV.
Conciliation and compromise guided Kaldoric politics for nearly 200 years. Each time a monarch died, the barons forced concessions from the new ruler, who reclaimed them during his reign. Sometimes the barons would press their claims in battle, but for the most part successions were peaceful. Many Kaldorians, including King Roloth, perished of the Red Death (559-561). His successors, seeking to rebuild the kingdom, exceeded the traditional limits of royal power. Their deaths were followed by periods of rebellion.
