IN THE YEAR OF 149 B.A.

 

A KINGDOM IS BUILT TO LAST, HOWEVER MANY DON'T. It is for the reason we must celebrate such major milestones for when a Kingdom reaches them. It is almost one hundred and fifty years since JOHN ‘THE FOUNDER’ followed the Constellation of SAINT LOTHAR to found the then Grand Duchy of Balian. This occasion can only be marked and celebrated with an entire year of celebrations and festivities of which the entire continent is invited to.

 

AS WITH OUR FOREBEARS, we shall host events from the Crown, Courts and the Noble houses of Balian, displaying various facets of our culture and people. These shall take up the entirety of the one hundred and fiftieth annum, of which shall be overcome with celebrations and several chances to participate in Balianese culture.

 

AVE 

 Her Royal Majesty, KATHRYN OF RHEN; Head of La Cort de la Taronja
