"Ah yes, the ancient Balian-Norlandic friendship established during the reign of King Ragnvald persists to this day." Said Harald Eiriksson Ruric with a smile on his face. He then prepared to go beat the shit out of a Balianite in order to complete his task of defeating one warrior from every human realm.

The Warden was there to fight for Balian's founding alongside King Ragnvald, and to defend Balian against Cloudbreaker.

The Peacemaker was there to ensure Balian and Norland stayed friends through many reigns, and that both kingdoms prospered.

The Dragonslayer is here to be friends with Sybille and carry on the collective cooperation of both nations in a new world, part of which is making the finest maple syrup in the cutest bottles for Balian.
