Situated in the Northern Mountains at the very farthest western and northern corner of the Arelate province, Callisar's is what some would term a small city, while others would simply call it a large town.  The oldest edifice in the area is the keep built by Callisar.  Much like a cross between a hunting lodge and a small mansion, the keep is spacious enough to house a family and their guests.  Built partially on the rise of the valley into the mountains, the keep overlooks the town that has sprung up at its base.  The populace calling Callisar's home has mostly been made up of farmers and artisans seeking a way of life away from the larger cities. 
  

Those few that have visited the valley over the years have been astounded by the natural beauty gracing the area.  Lush, green fills most of the valley in sweeping pastures and thick stands of evergreens, but most notable are the series of waterfalls at the very end of the valley.  Fed by several large streams running from the northern end of the valley, the lattice work of waterfalls begin with delicate, narrow streams that flow down into a larger, more majestic fall before the waters exit the valley through an underground river. 
  

Callisar himself was not Patriarch of the family, but he was a powerful man within the House.  The legend behind the holding is based in truth, but has become a favored telling among the House.  Having never found a reason to marry before in his life, the elderly Callisar was given a vibrant renewal when he fell in love with a much younger woman, one Alysia Damaris Orilion.  The legend claims that he was so astounded that she returned his affection that he vowed to build her a home in a place that matched her endless beauty.  
  

Over time, he found the valley - with it's astonishing waterfalls - and began to build the home.  When the elegant keep was nearly complete, Callisar began the journey to bring his young bride to their new home. Tragedy struck when they were on the verge of entering the valley when their small party encountered a Varati patrol straying southward into Empyrean territory.  The patrol was eventually dispatched, but not before a volley of arrows took Callisar's happiness by claiming the young life of Alysia. 
  

The rest of the household continued on, but Callisar refused to ever set foot in the Eyrie.  Instead, he gave the holding to his sister's eldest daughter. To very day he died, he never saw the home that was to be a testament to his love.  
  

Until recently, Callisar's was occupied by the family of Thalia Tritonides. Her husband, Darius tends to remain in Civitas Dei for business reasons quite often, but both of their children were raised in the Eyrie (Oriane and Riana). Being a patron of the arts, Thalia encouraged the growth of the artisan and craftsman community in the town itself.  If such encouragement had been allowed to continue, Callisar's would surely have become renowned throughout the Empyre for the works the valley produced. 
  

Unfortunately, the War of 3903 put the holding in the path of the bulk of the Varati army.  Unable to withstand such forces, Callisar's fell easily and is now in the hands of Clan Messala.
