First Emperor of the Erlyid, built the peace with the Elves and founded the modern Empire.
Kalron was one of the Erlyid’s youngest ever generals, and was very successful in the on/off war with the elves waged by the Erlyid at that time. Seconded to the diplomatic service, he managed almost single-handedly to broker a peace with the elves and an end to the wars. As a result of this he became very popular, and, building on this popularity, declared himself first Emperor of the Erlyid in 1 (at which point the modern calendar was instituted)
