The Cassanderean Dynasty was a Mesallian royal family, which came to rule over the Kingdom of Azoz in the mid third century. The family is descended from the adventurer and hero Cassander, who in turn traces his lineage to the ancient hero Leto of the Dioman War.

Possible identification with Casserander of Kyr

Cassander's name bears a striking resemblance to Casserander of Kyr, an Irian king who also lived during the 3rd century. This has led some historians to suspect that the two are one and the same, or perhaps related. Modern scholars refute this hypothesis on the grounds that the two kingdoms were too geographically separated for it to be probable; however, the idea persists in some fringe communities. Nowadays the discrepancy is generally viewed as a coincidence or "fluke" of history.
