Caladan is a relatively minor country, known for its production of alum. The capital city of Caladan is the seat of the monarch Queen Nidea Alliandre who is advised by the High Crown Council, a body of lords and powerful merchants. The Council sees to the day-to-day running of the country and elects a new monarch should the previous line die out. The Council's power in the kingdom is officially secondary to that of the monarch, but recently the Council attempted to bolster its power by abolishing the ruler's elite military guard the Caladan Shield Legion, a small, professional force which protects the borders, polices Caladan City, and protects the ruler. In times of war, the Shield Legion forms the core of the war effort and is expected to train new levies to support its operations. The Legion was temporarily disbanded at the insistence of the High Crown Council but was revealed as reconstituted recently by the Queen during her absence from the kingdom. The new commander of the Legion is the professional and respected soldier, First Captain Perrin Aybara of Xaplistain. This leaves the nation on the brink of becoming a battleground between several armies.
