History
Little is remembered about the Raor Dynasty, beyond the fact that it ushered in Calimshan's Third Age and the greatest extent of its empire. The dynasty was founded in.

During the Raor dynasty, the Caltazar Hills became a place of constant conflict with the Alimir Hive of beholders, which would escalate for many centuries.

The dynasty's short time was brought to a swift end in by the red wyrm Ylveraasahlisar the Rose Dragon. Calishite adventurers had killed one of her offspring in a raid of her horde. In revenge, she attacked the city of Calimport, destroying nearly two-thirds of the city, including the Caleph's Court. The army was decimated before her wrath, and the bakkal was slain. Ylveraasahlisar took the throne of the empire for herself   and reigned for over a century.
