Caelin (Japanese:キアランCiaran) was a duchy of theLycian League, situated at least partially on the south coast^[1] and bordered byLaus to the west,Khathelet and Tuscana to the north,Tania to the east, andSantaruz to the south.^[2][3] Among its holdings was Badon, a port city on the coast.

For a period of at least twenty years through to the year 980, Caelin was governed by MarquessHausen. With his daughterMadelyn's eloping and abandonment of Caelin, the heir apparent was thought to be his younger brotherLundgren, until news came that Madelyn and Hassar had an eighteen-year-old daughter,Lyndis. This news of his line to the throne being potentially obstructed caused Lundgren to dispatch assassins, later Caelin knights to obstruct Lyndis and the two knights escorting her to Caelin,Sain andKent, and to start poisoning Hausen to hasten his death and Lundgren's ascension to the throne. Lyn and her growing band defeated all of the opponents set after her by Lundgren and, at Caelin itself, killed him and saved Hausen.

From there, Lyndis stayed to live in Caelin with her grandfather, assuming many of the responsibilities over the affairs of the duchy while Hausen recovered from the severe effects upon his health caused by the poison. One year later, the Laus army led by its MarquessDarin, fleeing Laus itself while his sonErik stayed behind to fend offEliwood andHector, came to Caelin and conquered it in a surprise assault, occupying the castle. Lyndis and four of her knights were instructed to flee the castle by Hausen, who stayed behind and was cornered by Darin. Hausen's attempts to reason with Darin earned him a knife to the stomach fromEphidel, who then convinced Darin to also abandon Caelin and leave his army behind. The Laus occupation, now led by GeneralBernard, was defeated and the territory freed. The Ostian spyLeila arranged for Hausen to be healed, and when Lyndis's group defeated the Laus occupation and freed Caelin, she advised that they falsify reports that Hausen had died in order to ensure his temporary protection.

Some time after the defeat ofNergal in the year 981, Lord Hausen died. Lyndis ceded the Caelin territory toOstia and departed for eitherPherae,Ostia, orSacae depending on whom she paired up with, and so Caelin ceased to exist as an individual entity.Kent, a Caelin knight, was appointed the steward of the land formerly comprising the Caelin territory, assuming that he did not instead join Lyndis in Sacae, or Fiora or Farina in Ilia.
