Kalokai
| “ | Once a promising collection of settlements, Kalokai built a reputation on hedonism and opposition to warfare. Their unique way of life was championed by a man who referred to himself only as Dio. Content with drinking wine and engaging in any and all earthly pleasures, the people of Kalokai rejected the northerners when they first came seeking support for their campaign.
With the strategic importance of the Great March and the river's connection to the Endless Sea, Caoivish missionaries recognized the region's value and infected the people of Kalokai with their silver tongues. The Kalokainians reluctantly opened their arms to the Northerners, hoping that, should they claim victory, Kalokai could declare themselves a state independent of Veli. With assurances in place, Dio and his people shared their beds and storehouses with the nobility's newly minted army, the Hands of Veli. With such a strategic location on lockdown, taking control of Kalokai gave the Hands a significant advantage in the coming conflict. Unfortunately for Dio, the Hands depleted their stores and emptied their fields. An extended and seemingly unnatural drought followed the end of the Velian wars. Believing themselves cursed by the gods, the residents of Kalokai fled south. No one ever mentioned Dio again; perhaps he stayed behind to rule his tiny empire of dust. | „ |

Kalokai is the southernmost map in the world. It has land borders with Acrithia to the northeast, Great March to the north, and Red River to the northwest. It contains a river that runs directly through the middle, which is connected to Acrithia. The hex map was introduced in Update 0.46 ('Entrenched').
The map's Town Base that contributes to the World Conquest's "Victory Condition" is Baccae Ridge.
Update History

It’s your understanding that such events are common in the south, that Velians and Meseans share a history of exhibition combat to sharpen their senses while providing entertainment.
Behind a wall, you spot a pair of shackles. Perhaps not all combatants willingly participate.

Rusting Bones
8 Hawk, 799.
Some time has passed since I’ve last written, and the regret weighs on me. Introspection is a vital skill, but it seems such a folly to sharpen the brain as the bones rust.
12 Cos, 800.
You note the handwriting here is significantly shakier than the earlier entry.
Many moons hence, I lamented having to train a bunch of children after being shipped away to that damned northern coastal city. I hated the salty breeze, the taste of fish, and the lazy locals.
Now that I’m free of it all, I find myself dreaming of those days. I think of the twins as my own daughters, cannot separate that notion from reality. I miss them dearly and sometimes feel the grit of dirt under my fingernails from the burial. Ana’s tears still dampen my old knuckles and when I close my eyes, all I see is that steely look in her eyes, as if she would happily hold a torch to the world with a smile on her face.
Sometimes I take responsibility, my old frame simply in the way, out of touch, not thorough enough in my instruction. But that’s only self-flagellation. A piteous way to live if I’d ever known it. I am not that man.
My hand aches; I should stop. Perhaps in time I will feel comforted with all that I have done, but for now all I feel is wonder.
