==Biography==

'''Kalasin "Kally" Iliniat''', born '''Kalasin of Conté''' in 441 [[HE]]<ref>http://www.tamora-pierce.com/faq_timeline.html</ref>, is the first daughter of [[Jonathan of Conté]] and [[Thayet jian Wilima|Thayet of Conté]] and marries [[Kaddar Iliniat]] at some point between 457 HE and the beginning of 462 HE, thus becoming the Empress of [[Carthak]]. She was named for her [[K'miri]] grandmother [[Kalasin]], who was reputedly the most beautiful woman in the world, married to Warlord [[Adigun jin Wilima|Adigun ''jin'' Wilima]] of [[Sarain]], and committed suicide.
  
  +
===Early life===
  +
Kalasin grew up closely with her older brother, [[Roald VI of Conté|Crown Prince Roald]], and were one year apart in age. She was also raised closely with [[Alanna of Pirate's Swoop and Olau|Alanna the Lioness's]] children, [[Thom of Pirate's Swoop|Thom]], [[Alan of Pirate's Swoop|Alan]] and [[Alianne Crow|Aly]]. As her other siblings were much younger, she was snobby about being one of the oldest in the bunch.
   
  +
She had a loving relationship with her parents and her siblings.

==A Tortallan Princess==
  
−
She meets Veralidaine Sarrasri when she is a girl of nine years of age. She is very taken by the mage, and she and her brother follow her around all day—which Thayet laughs about. She was at one point interested in becoming a page like [[Keladry of Mindelan]], but her father persuaded her against it, so as not to sabotage potential political marriages. She spent four years with the countess of [[King's Reach]], her kinswoman, to learn the ins and outs of a political life.
 
   
  +
===Meeting [[Veralidaine Sarrasri|Daine the Wildmage]]===
−
==Marriage to Kaddar==
  
  +
Kalasin, Roald, and Thom of Pirate's Swoop, met Daine when she became assistant horsemistress of [[Onua Chamtong]] in 450 HE. They were fascinated with Daine and followed her around everywhere, much to the amusement of their mother, [[Thayet jian Wilima|Thayet of Conté]]. Kalasin regaled Daine with her dreams of becoming a Tortallan knight, as her father had decreed that noblewomen were allowed to try for their knighthood, same as noblemen. She said she would be the first known female knight in over a century.
−
She eventually married Kaddar Iliniat, the Emperor of Carthak, legally forfeiting her place in [[Tortall]]'s line of succession in the process. She and Kaddar are said to have one son so far, [[Binur Iliniat]]. She doesn't get on that well with her mother-in-law, as Kally is too independent for the Princess's liking. Kally rides too much, has seemingly no manners and spends too much time and money with the lower-class people. Kally has even opened schools in Carthak. The only instance when the Empress listens to her mother-in-law is concerning state functions. Binur is another topic on which they don't argue as they both adore him.<ref>[http://www.randombuzzers.com/the-buzz/boards/topic/250/90877/ Random Buzz; "The Conte kids, Kally, Sarain, Buri, and the Riders."; April 18, 2009]</ref>
  
  +
  +
When they were staying in [[Pirate's Swoop]], [[Carthak|Carthaki]] pirates attacked, who demanded that Thayet and her children give themselves up to stop the attack. Daine was able to help by enlisting her animal friends, as well as Immortals, as aids. When Daine found the dragon [[Skysong]], Kalasin and the other children were fascinated.
  +
  +
===Discouraged from Knighthood===
  +
Even though Kalasin had held dreams of becoming a knight from a young age, her father persuaded her out of the idea, because he thought other realms would be less than willing to make marital alliances with a bride that was so unconventional. In return, she was allowed to have a say in whom she married, by looking over the marriage candidates and picking the one she liked best. Thayet, who supported her daughter, found out and refused to speak to her husband for weeks.
  +
  +
Because she remained a conventional princess, she spent four years with the Countess of [[King's Reach]], a kinswoman, in order to learn the ins and outs of political life. As Roald went on to become a knight, it is unknown how much their friendship continued as they saw so little of each other in their teens.

===Empress of Carthak, Political Marriage===
  +

  +
Her parents arranged her marriage with the newly seated emperor of [[Carthak]], [[Kaddar Iliniat]]. He was the nephew of [[Ozorne Tasikhe|Emperor Ozorne]], an enemy of Tortall, but Kaddar was interested in establishing needed peace with Tortall. She married him in her late teens, but as political marriages took years to arrange, negotiations probably started when she was still young. Because she married the Emperor of Carthak, she legally forfeited her place in Tortall's line of succession to the throne. The couple reportedly had one son so far, [[Binur Iliniat]]. As empress, she adopted her mother's ruling style, and opened schools for commoners and aided the continuation of women's rights in Carthak. Even though she did not become a knight, she was considered very unconventional for a Carthaki empress and received disapproval for her actions, especially from her mother in law, [[Fazia Iliniat|Princess Fazia]]. They agreed about one thing though: their adoration of Prince Binur<ref>[http://www.randombuzzers.com/the-buzz/boards/topic/250/90877/ Random Buzz; "The Conte kids, Kally, Sarain, Buri, and the Riders."; April 18, 2009]</ref>. The only other thing that Kalasin listened to her mother in law about was how to navigate state functions.
  +
  +
While her husband absented the palace, Kalasin was in charge of running the county as empress while he was away. This was one of the reasons why [[Skysong|Kitten]] had to go with [[Veralidaine Sarrasri|Daine]] and [[Numair Salmalín]] while they were helping people in southern Carthak, as Kalasin wouldn't have had the time to entertain Kitten at the palace<ref>'''''[[Tortall and Other Lands: A Collection of Tales]]''''', ''[[The Dragon's Tale]]''</ref>.

This article is about the daughter of Jonathan IV of Conté and Thayet jian Wilima, Kalasin of Conté. You may be looking for the wife of the Sarain warlord Adigun jin Wilima.

Empress Kalasin "Kally" Iliniat, born Kalasin of Conté (pronounced KAHL-ah-sihn ihl-LIN-ee-at / of kohn-TAY) in 441 HE[1], is the first daughter and second child of King Jonathan and Queen Thayet of Conté. She was born a princess of Tortall, where her parents co-reigned as King and Queen. She was named after her K'miri grandmother Kalasin, who was reputedly the most beautiful woman in the world. Kalasin has five siblings, Roald, Liam, Jasson, Lianne and Vania. After her marriage to Kaddar of Carthak, she is titled as the Empress of Carthak.

Biography

Early life

Kalasin grew up closely with her older brother, Crown Prince Roald, and were one year apart in age. She was also raised closely with Alanna the Lioness's children, Thom, Alan and Aly. As her other siblings were much younger, she was snobby about being one of the oldest in the bunch.

She had a loving relationship with her parents and her siblings.

Meeting Daine the Wildmage

Kalasin, Roald, and Thom of Pirate's Swoop, met Daine when she became assistant horsemistress of Onua Chamtong in 450 HE. They were fascinated with Daine and followed her around everywhere, much to the amusement of their mother, Thayet of Conté. Kalasin regaled Daine with her dreams of becoming a Tortallan knight, as her father had decreed that noblewomen were allowed to try for their knighthood, same as noblemen. She said she would be the first known female knight in over a century.

When they were staying in Pirate's Swoop, Carthaki pirates attacked, who demanded that Thayet and her children give themselves up to stop the attack. Daine was able to help by enlisting her animal friends, as well as Immortals, as aids. When Daine found the dragon Skysong, Kalasin and the other children were fascinated.

Discouraged from Knighthood

Even though Kalasin had held dreams of becoming a knight from a young age, her father persuaded her out of the idea, because he thought other realms would be less than willing to make marital alliances with a bride that was so unconventional. In return, she was allowed to have a say in whom she married, by looking over the marriage candidates and picking the one she liked best. Thayet, who supported her daughter, found out and refused to speak to her husband for weeks.

Because she remained a conventional princess, she spent four years with the Countess of King's Reach, a kinswoman, in order to learn the ins and outs of political life. As Roald went on to become a knight, it is unknown how much their friendship continued as they saw so little of each other in their teens.

Empress of Carthak, Political Marriage

Fanart of the Empress of Carthak[2]

Her parents arranged her marriage with the newly seated emperor of Carthak, Kaddar Iliniat. He was the nephew of Emperor Ozorne, an enemy of Tortall, but Kaddar was interested in establishing needed peace with Tortall. She married him in her late teens, but as political marriages took years to arrange, negotiations probably started when she was still young. Because she married the Emperor of Carthak, she legally forfeited her place in Tortall's line of succession to the throne. The couple reportedly had one son so far, Binur Iliniat. As empress, she adopted her mother's ruling style, and opened schools for commoners and aided the continuation of women's rights in Carthak. Even though she did not become a knight, she was considered very unconventional for a Carthaki empress and received disapproval for her actions, especially from her mother in law, Princess Fazia. They agreed about one thing though: their adoration of Prince Binur[3]. The only other thing that Kalasin listened to her mother in law about was how to navigate state functions.

While her husband absented the palace, Kalasin was in charge of running the county as empress while he was away. This was one of the reasons why Kitten had to go with Daine and Numair Salmalín while they were helping people in southern Carthak, as Kalasin wouldn't have had the time to entertain Kitten at the palace[4].

Although Kalasin is curious and outspoken as a young girl, it is unknown exactly what her personality is grown. She does take after her mother in charity and independence, and opens schools and helps the poor of Carthak—much to Princess Fazia's disapproval.

See the "other sources" family tree and footnotes for Newlin I, Roger the Liberator, and Jasson II-or-III, among others.

  9. ↑ Per the timeline, Newlin I opened the Book of Gold, founded Tortall, and was its first king.

  24. ↑ 24.0 24.1 Roger III of Conté was married to Alysy of Galla until her death, but the marriage produced no issue. Terrier "Cast of Characters" and Mastiff.
  25. ↑ 25.0 25.1 25.2 25.3 25.4 25.5 Per Bloodhound (electronic edition) "September 13, 247", Prince Baird's oldest daughter was married to Lionel of Trebond, which implied he had other daughters. Per Mastiff, he was childless.

  31. ↑ 31.0 31.1 Roald IV was Roger IV's nephew by birth. It was inferred that his birth Conté parent was a woman. It was not known whether there was further issue from match.

  33. ↑ Unfortunately, the timeline conflicted with Ms. Pierce's commentary prior to the publication of the Spy's Guide. See the "other sources" family tree and footnote for Jasson II-or-III, among others. Additionally, there may have been additional members of the family not mentioned in the timeline, as it was concerned exclusively with the reigning kings. Some people have been added from other sources, specified in footnotes.

Random Buzz thread from 2009 "Random Tortall Questions..." as archived at the Wayback Machine March 30, 2012. Accessed November 15, 2022.

Additionally, there may have been members of the family not mentioned, as Ms. Pierce was not giving a complete accounting. Sources specified in footnotes.
