The Kalpa is one of only two major freshwater bodies on the [[Geranian Heath]], beside [[Lake Tapakya]] and is of great cultural significance from the beginning of human settlement in the area, the [[Geranian peoples|Geranians]] and [[Early Aribelians]].

At the latest with the arrival of the [[Kattasians]] and the subsequent [[Geran#The_Arrival_of_the_Kattasians|dispersion of the Geranians]] in the mid-2nd millennium B.E.B., it becomes the homeland of the budding [[Kalparians|Kalparian people]], who develop a connection with the river running so deep that they will eventually adopt its name as their own. For centuries, the Kalpa and the '''Kalpa Valley''' form the heartland of Kalparian territory, in Lécaronian times still dominated by the [[Five Forts of the Kalpa|five Kalparian hillforts]] lining the river, [[Kalpattu]], [[Tartassa]], [[Nitespea]], [[Varu]], and [[Antanu]]. As, for much of their history, the Kalparians act as a buffer nation between the dominions of the Geranian Heath (successively, the [[Kingdom of Aeros]], the [[Kingdoms of Yamenna]], and the [[Wertian Kingdom]]) and those of the [[Oshale]] (the [[Celdic tribes]], later the [[Aribelian Republic]]), the Kalpa itself is regarded the traditional boundary between Geran and Aribel, and indeed functions as the border between the [[Lécaronian Provinces]] II Geran and VIII Northwestern Colonies after the dissolution of Province VII Oshale following the [[First Kalparian Uprising]] of 614 L.R. | ||
