List of Rulers and Dynasties of Kalama
The records of Kalama provide us a sequence of eleven kingdoms, each composed of numerous dynasties and reaching back unthinkably into the past. Scholars generally accept the historicity of the king lists from the sixth millennium before Salmakhamer towards the present. Rulers before this time are considered legendary or semi-legendary. Non-native and some native scholars regard the historicity of the Sanjasthanite Kingdoms with much skepticism believing it to be completely or largely fabricated. During this period, it is important to keep in mind that the recorded dynasty may not have held universal rule over all of Kshandiguh (the Corundian Peninsula).
During the periods when the Kshandiguh was united, the ruler was called the Zhara Jurpa or the regenerative king of the land whose well-being and righteousness ensured the prosperity of the great kingdom.
List of Dynasties and Rulers of Kalama
Mythical Sanjasthanite Kingdoms
date from Great Flood of Aturyanda 11,770 AS to 6,950 AS The term 'Sanjasthanite' comprises all kingdoms and rulers dated before the period of chaos cults in the seventh millennium before Salmakhamer. They are ascribed to the period immediately after the Flood of Aturyanda and according to the Aturyandakumi and other legends, the great Aturyanda was the first ruler over Kshandiguha after the flood.
Arredat Kingdom
Balazha Kingdom
One of the Sanjasthanite Kingdoms, Balazha is mentioned a few times in the Aturyandakumi. Its ruler was the grandson of another flood survivor hero. Scholars believe that they spoke a language related to proto-Jathya-Dhumi, based upon proper names that are recorded in ancient legends.
Imsephura Kingdom
The memory of the indigenous elves of mythical Corundy is recorded in very ancient legends of Kalama. The elves lived in the densely forested area of central west Corundy. Over the subsequent millennia, they ceased to exist. Whether the native elves emigrated, died through warfare or disease, or ceased to reproduce is not fully clear. Scholars believe that elves no longer existed in Corundy at some point before the time of Chaos Rule before ca 7,000 AS.
(10,700 to 8,400 AS) The Kemenut Kingdom held dominion in the southeastern Corundian Peninsula, enduring to the middle of the ninth millennium before Salmakhamer. It was contemporary with the Thaulya Kingdom and the woodland elves of western Corundy (Imsephura).

Midrinksi Settlement of Kalama
- 1100 AS to 75 AS
- scions of the Zhalayara Kuswa Dynasty continue to rule local states along with high nobles of pre-Midrinksi stock. Their cultural decline is inevitable and they succumb to the incursions of the Midrinksi nomadic tribes who immigrate with a vast body of horse warriors into Kalama. Kalaman enclaves persist, speaking ancient Kalmaman (Jathya-Dhumi), to this day, largely as a liturgical and scholarly language and the domestic language of a handful of aristocratic families of old Kalaman stock. The Jaithan Language and the Shardanian Language persist as direct developments of the classical Kalaman language.
During this time, vestiges of both Kalaman and Jatha-Nebirite princely dynasties continued local rule in many cities. In other places, Midrinksi chieftains ruled, often retaining locals priests and customs and marrying into the local aristocratic families. The Midrinksi language (later to become 'Midretassene') gains ascendancy as the language of the Midrinksi chieftains and their horse warriors. Midrinksi leaders freely adopt the superior cultural heritage of Kalama (engineering, religion, mathematics, astronomy, medicine, philosophy, literature, Hirgunya Script). Outside of Vimalia, Midrinksi develop their own alphabet, (the Midretassene Alphabet), based upon Hirgunya.
