Calthar

Also heard as Kaelothar — a ruined city beyond the walls, followed by a single constellation.

Overview

Calthar (also transcribed Kaelothar, Kalthar) is a ruined advanced civilization far beyond the walls of Caligo, in the wastelands. Harland Ashworth located it by following a single constellation and left detailed field notes about it in his buried library. The party has not yet been there — it is their ultimate destination, reachable with Harland's star chart and the magic lens for navigation.

Spelling note: the name was said several ways at the table (Calthar / Kaelothar / Kalthar). Standardized here as Calthar.

What Harland's Notes Describe

• An advanced civilization now in ruins — possibly elven land from before the elves were exterminated.
• Preserved warforged frames fused with biological material, echoing the chitin-arm sketches that match EMBR's "Lefty."
• A sealed lower level that requires a specific key/artifact to open — the same artifact Harland traced to the Crail estate in the Fold.

Open Questions

• Was Calthar elven land before the god-king Rimalath's regime? Did Rimalath himself come from there?
• What is behind the sealed level?
• Did Harland reach it on his final journey — and did he die there?
• What does Calthar reveal about EMBR's origin?

Unvisited. The party's ultimate destination, gated behind acquiring the Crail artifact.
