Kalkis are thought to have been created at some point during the [[Final Empire]]. They supposedly stayed hidden until the post-[[Catacendre]] era, when they were rediscovered by a Scadrian [[noble]]man named [[Stefan Sauvage]]. Sauvage referred to them as "Unknown Constructs of Antiquity" and claimed to know the location of a living tribe of kalkis.{{file ref|New_Ascendancy_broadsheet.jpg|Periódico "El Nuevo Ascendiente"}} Their existence has not been confirmed.

After Stefan's death, Nicelle (also known as Nicki Savage) seemed to be aware that her father had hidden instructions in the map and set out on a "quest" to continue his research. In {{date|342|PC}}, she was in New Seran and got into an altercation with [[Nazh]], who wanted the map for cartographic purposes. Nazh appeared to be ignorant of the hidden pocket, referring to it as "just a stupid map". The map was torn into two pieces during the scuffle, which took place on a gondola; Nazh absconded with the larger portion of the map (and later annotated it for [[Khriss]]),{{map ref|New Seran}} but Nicelle retained the piece with the hidden pocket. After briefly encountering a man matching [[Hoid]]'s description, she went home and read her father's letter.{{file ref|New_Ascendancy_broadsheet.jpg|Periódico "El Nuevo Ascendiente"}}
