Sauvage commissioned a large tapestry map of [[New Seran]] in {{date|336|PC}};{{map ref|New Seran}} he added a secret pocket to the map and enclosed a letter to his daughter [[Nicelle Sauvage|Nicelle]] that included instructions on how to find the kalkis. Nothing is known of how or where he found them. Stefan died under unknown circumstances and left the map to Nicelle as her inheritance.{{file ref|New_Ascendancy_broadsheet.jpg|Periódico "El Nuevo Ascendiente"}}

|My dearest Nicelle,<br>

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"}}

 

Although kalkis are not mentioned by anyone who lived during [[Classical Scadrial]], that does not preclude their existence; the planet has large, diverse landmasses and a relatively small population.{{wob ref|3466}} [[Southern Scadrian|Entire societies]] lived with no contact for well over a thousand years,{{wob ref|4094}} so it is feasible that a small tribe of beings could stay hidden for even longer.

 

Nicelle's depiction of the incident with Nazh appeared as part of a serialized broadsheet story in the embellished style of [[Allomancer Jak]], making it difficult to separate fact from fiction;{{wob ref|7415}} kalkis are otherwise unknown, and may be apocryphal. However, a gondola was in fact damaged in New Seran{{file ref|New_Ascendancy_broadsheet.jpg|Periódico "El Nuevo Ascendiente"}} and Nazh had a ripped portion of Stefan's map,{{map ref|New Seran}} implying that parts of Nicelle's story were accurate.

 

*Nicelle's story was written by [[Isaac Stewart]], and could be continued in a future novella.{{wob ref|13744}}
