Kalan D'Arle was a merchant who lived with his family at Lestari House in Capustan. He was linked to Estraysian D'Arle of Darujhistan as well as the D'Arle family of Lest, which did not survive the fall of that city to the Pannion Domin. Lestari House was among the few well-fortified private residences in the city.
