Andasin I, the 1st monarch (589-527) of the Kingdom of Kanday.

Andasin I was the first monarch (589627 TR) of the Kingdom of Kanday. Andasin was the head of clan Kand, minor nobility of the Corani Empire, which achieved prominence after being outlawed by the Theocracy of Tekhos in 575. The clan established itself in exile in the Mimea Hills, from where it harassed the forces of the government and sheltered other enemies of the state despite several attempts to exterminate them. When the Theocracy collapsed, Andasin captured the keep at Ibonost from its Tekhosian governor in 589, founding the Kingdom of Kanday. This was followed with the capture of Edino in 598 and Dyrisa in 620. An impressive castle, Dyrisa is now the principal seat of Kandian kings.

A devout follower of Larani, Andasin founded the Order of the Checkered Shield in 622, which subsequently captured Quivum, Heroth, Ewen, Zerien, and Imiden for the young kingdom. Andasin began a sad decline into senility around 624 and died in 627.
