The Marsana Appointment 13th of Sun’s Smile, 103 B.A With the recent resignation of Amiratus Sir Percy de Lyons, we hereby declare a new administration of the Kingdom of Balian. We are pleased to announce that Don Kristoff Alexios Ruthern will serve as Balian’s seventh Amiratus. The Crown of Balian thanks Sir Percy for his unwavering commitment to the prosperity of Balian as a whole and now looks to the future with proud eyes for our new Amiratus. May we continue to prosper.

On The Amiratus _______________________________________________________ Issued by the Crown of Balian, 103 B.A. _______________________________________________________ It saddens the Crown to announce the resignation of our current Amiratus, Lord Percy de Lyons. Lord de Lyons has unfortunately been bedridden within the confines of Enderoca for many weeks now as a result of an illness he took during the campaign in Veletz. It is for this reason and his inability to fulfill the duties as required for his position that he tenders his resignation as Amiratus effective immediately. The Crown thanks Lord de Lyons for his service to the Crown throughout the duration of the war and in the wake of its’ shadow and wishes him the best in his recovery. May we continue to prosper. GOD bless our Kingdom of Balian. _______________________________________________________ Ad Gloriam Dei HER ROYAL MAJESTY, Sybille I,, by the Grace of GOD, Queen of Balian, Princess of Providence, Duchess of Helena, Reutov, Sunholdt and Lorraine, Countess of Pompourelia and Kositz, Viscountess of Eflen and Anatis, Baroness of Renzfeld, Brucca, Valens, Malenos and Ciavola, Lady of Portoregne, Atrus and Monterosa, Warden of La Costa Rubinissima, Protector of the Heartlanders and the South, etcetera.

_______________________________________________________ Issued by the Crown of Balian, 96 B.A. _______________________________________________________ With the death of Her Royal Highness, Elena Casimira, GOD rest her soul, the Crown sees it fit to immediately declare a new Amiratus to succeed her. We are pleased to announce that Lord Percival de Lyons ‘al Lionhearted’ will serve as Balian’s sixth Amiratus. The Princess Royal, Elena Casimira served the Crown since her birth with an unwavering determination to see Balian left better than she found it. We can say with the utmost surety that she accomplished her goal, and will observe a period of mourning over the next Saint’s days. We likewise believe Percival de Lyons shall follow diligently in his Mother’s footsteps, showing already promise in his assistance during the War for the Midlands. We believe he is the best candidate to succeed her and hope that he shares the same determination and knack for governance that she did. May the Princess Royal rest peacefully with her ancestors in the Seven Skies. The Kingdom of Balian shall march ever on, looking to the past fondly on the work that the Princess did- and the feats that she achieved. May we continue to prosper. GOD bless our Kingdom of Balian. _______________________________________________________ HER ROYAL MAJESTY, Sybille I, by the Grace of GOD, Queen of Balian, Princess of Providence, Duchess of Helena and Lorraine, Countess of Pompourelia, Viscountess of Eflen and Anatis, Baroness of Renzfield, Brucca, Valens, Malenos and Ciavola, Lady of Portoregne, Atrus and Monterosa, Warden of La Costa Rubinissima, Protector of the Heartlanders and the South, etcetera.

The Grand Pier of Adrian 14th of Peter's Glory of 90 B.A Near what turned out to be the twilight of his reign over the Kingdom of Balian, His Royal Majesty King Adrian I drove the effort to plan, fund, and construct the first expansion to the great city he laid down upon this new land of Aevos- a new, larger district around the city docks. Through the aid and effort of Grand Admiral Dante DeNurem and many Balianese architects, laborers, craftsmen, and citizens, this grand project is finished and opened to the public now, at the beginning of the reign of the late King’s daughter, Her Royal Majesty Queen Sybille I. The expansion contains a new apartment complex on Rev’s View containing 12 large apartments, along with two new streets, named after two late Balianese legends, to whom much honor is due - His Royal Excellency Don Ledicort Vuiller, our first Amiratus, honored with Ledicort Lane, and, fittingly considering the effort he put into its design and construction, His Royal Majesty King Adrian I “The Unwavering” Novellen, with Adrian Avenue. There are 6 new buildings for purchase on Adrian Avenue, and 7 on Ledicort Lane - some houses, some shops. Additionally, for our more commercially-minded citizens, there are 3 new warehouses - one on Anne’s Avenue and two on Adrian Avenue - which are open to rent as space for any aspiring guilds, merchants, or manufacturers. Finally, some of the buildings in the district were left unfurnished at the time of the district’s opening, and from now until they are furnished by Crown Architects, any unfurnished buildings are being offered for 15 minas less than the listed upfront charge. May this great construction forever stand as a monument to the resolve and grit of its constructors, and to the efforts of our late King Adrian, and as a beacon of the prosperity of the Kingdom of Balian going into future times and reigns. Signed, HER ROYAL MAJESTY , Sybille I by the Grace of GOD, Queen of Balian, Viscountess of Pompourelia, Eflen and Anatis, Baroness of Brucca,Valens, Malenos and Ciavola, Lady of Portoregne, Atrus and Monterosa, Warden of La Costa Rubinissima, Protector of the Heartlanders and the South, etcetera. HER ROYAL HIGHNESS, Elena Casimira Novellen-de Lyons Princess Royal of Balian, Countess of Rosemoor, Baroness of Enderoca, Amiratus of the Kingdom of Balian, Lady Seneschal of the Crown and Chief Minister of the Royal Duana.

The Royal Codex of the Kingdom of Balian Addendum VI: TRACTATUS DE IUSTITIA UNIVERSALIS Table of Contents: TRACTATUS DE IUSTITIA UNIVERSALIS Principle Article I - On Criminals Wanted in Two Allied Jurisdictions Article II - On Criminals Wanted in One Allied Jurisdiction TRACTATUS DE IUSTITIA UNIVERSALIS Principle: For the furtherance of justice and cooperation for us in Balian, and for our allies, we seek to lay down principles which should allow us to assure that criminals apprehended by us or our allies may be processed fully across jurisdictions to allow them to be fully tried and punished for their crimes, and not simply tried by one ally and allowed to go free so that they must be found and apprehended again for the second trial in the other jurisdiction after further damage and trouble. We propose the following procedures, each based on the circumstances of the apprehension and the category of crime committed, with Capital Crimes being defined as a crime deemed worthy of execution, such as treason, manslaughter, murder, mayhem, kidnapping, practicing dark magics, and other serious felonies. Article I - On Criminals Wanted in Two Allied Jurisdictions Art. I.01 - Where the Criminal is Wanted for a Capital Crime: I.01A - If the criminal is apprehended in the country where they have committed a non-capital crime, but have committed a capital crime in the other, the party who arrested them may try them and punish them first for the less serious crimes, then shall extradite the criminal to the other for the more serious trial there. I.01B - If the criminal is apprehended in the country where they have committed a capital crime, and they are wanted for a non-capital crime in the other, the apprehending country informs the other that they have caught the criminal, and may carry out the trial and execution themselves. I.01C - If the criminal committed capital crimes in both nations, then the apprehending country should inform the other nation, and both nations may perform a joint trial and execution with their respective legal systems involved, or the apprehending nation may execute if given permission by the other nation or if a joint trial may not be carried out in a timely manner. Art. I.02 - Where the Criminal has only Committed Less Serious Crimes Art. I.02A - In cases where only non-capital crimes are involved, then the apprehending country may try the criminal first, then extradite to the other allied country for trial there. Art. I.03 - Where the Act is not Considered Illegal in the Arresting Jurisdiction: Art. I.03A - In cases where the act the criminal is wanted for in the allied jurisdiction is not considered a crime in the arresting jurisdiction, then the decision as to whether the criminal will be extradited or set free shall be decided by the Courts and Diplomats on a case by case basis. Article II - On Criminals Wanted in One Allied Jurisdiction Art. II.01A - In cases where a criminal is wanted in a foreign, allied jurisdiction, that nation may petition the Office of the Legate, the Magisterium, the Amitratus, or the King to request Balianese aid in apprehending the criminal. Whether or not this petition is accepted is purely up to the discretion of the aforementioned offices based on the severity of the crime, the location of the accused, the quality and quantity of evidence presented, the feasibility of providing such aid, and the ramifications of providing such aid. Art. II.01B - In cases where a Balianese Citizen (as defined in Lex Civilis) is wanted in a foreign, allied jurisdiction, that nation may petition the Office of the Legate, the Magisterium, the Amiratus, or the King to request the extradition of that citizen for Trial. Whether or not this petition is accepted is purely up to the discretion of the aforementioned offices based on the severity of the crime and the quality and quantity of evidence presented.

__ The following document has been declassified by the Office of the Principal Secretary of Balian on the 18th of the Grand Harvest, 133 SA. A proposal sent to King Alexander by Amiratus Gaius var Ruthern after the retirement of Amiratus Ledicort Vuiller, the Ruthern Framework is a document that highlights proposals to continue reform and advancement in Balianese society. It contains a list of national aspirations that made up many of Amiratus Ruthern's ambitions and policy goals at the start of his chancellorship, with some items addressed, and others still withstanding. The missive also notes the Amiratus intent to have the document refined and published post-haste, pending the King's approval. However, given King Alexander's ailing health at the end of his reign and the anarchies of the Mori Invasion, such refinement and official assent could not be reached. The framework was kept in government stasis for a considerable period of time, before the original draft was finally published under the purview of the Principal Secretary as a declassified item. It is believed to have arrived in the late King Alexander's hand in the year 1920, or 124 SA, and has been declassified roughly nine years later. __ Whilst Balian enters into another era of prosperity and success, a new Amiratus now steers the helm of our nation on behalf of the Crown. As a servant of both His Majesty and my fellow Balianese citizens, it is imperative that I address the objectives of my administration to you all. Transparency is a cherished principle, one which can never be completely hidden for the truth prevails sooner or later. The Ruthern Duana shall strive to hold government transparency at all levels. Thus, in compliance with the custom my predecessors before me have set, I, Gaius var Ruthern send this missive to your review. With the assent of His Majesty Alexander I, we may publish this document for the good of the Balianese peoples. This contents of this massive shall provide the framework for the main objectives of the Ruthern Duana, as of the year 124 SA | 53 BA. Fe, Stat, i Prosperitat (Faith, State, and Prosperity) 1. Further growth of our nation and transparency between the citizens of the nation and with the Crown and Duana. Biannual Duana Meeting, Minutes Declassified at Discretion of Principal Sec.

Balian shall be a center of science and alchemy. An alchemist society, centered around the progress and advancement of humanity shall be situated here in Balian. Inspired by Tetsugawa, the Oyashimi of the Iron River, who have used alchemy and holy magic to build a model society among wartorn North. Have the Alchemists in the royal family lead us towards greater use of alchemical engineering and medicine. Donate a building in Balian towards this society. [Royal Family, Censure] Expand the Novellen Collection 3. Encourage our own citizens to take up penmanship, playwriting, music and poetry. A cultural Renaissance of the arts should begin in Balian. Encouragement of more scholars. Offer mina to those who expand the Novellen Collection. Give a house in the city to house the Novellen Collection to someone eager to maintain it. Invite citizens to borrow books from it to learn about the wider world. Make a goal to have the largest collection of literature among the human nations, and perhaps even the Descendents. Offer tests and degrees to those who master a component of the Novellen Collection. Bard’s guild making visits, willing to teach any and all. Encourage bardmancy in Balian, continue Balian’s path as a hub for arts and culture. Continue the Renovatio! 4. We are still going through a cultural movement within Balian. I aim to make sure we continue that under the King’s blessing. This time we shall display our culture proudly and actively as we continue our presence on the international stage. Spreading and funding the Royal Balianese Academy for new cultural documents. More priests, more efforts into building Balianese spiritual life. More effort put into recovering and understanding the Lothar Stones, led by former Amiratus Ledicort. Devote religious scholarship into understanding the legend of the Supernals, the holy wives of the Exalted, favored among the Balianese pecheros. Propagation of Balianese language and identity. Viameza: The Middle Way 5. Now, as for foreign policy. Under the King’s guidance I hope to make sure we stay prominent in international matters. The Atrus Covenant has so far been a success. The Canonist League and the Sol Entente are other great examples of us establishing our presence on the global stage. We will continue to be the peacekeepers of this world even in face of the Mori invasions. Viameza: Balianese word meaning middle way, our diplomatic goals work toward the peace and dignity of the Descendent races. Focus on the Mori as our priority. Continue to balance our relationships in the north and south. Fund grants to those who wish to coordinate international events in our lands or in our allies lands. The Balianese Armada 6. Reform and expand the military, the Company of Balian, into a much more robust and well organized force. Given our role as a bridge between north and south, and our coastal areas that we plan to charter a new territories in, we are modernizing our army to be a marine amphibious force, to be able to cross waters and fight naval battles. We will put Ruthern expertise to build a Balianese Armada and great artillery battery. Ensure this Armada is one designed to protect us and our way of life. Encourage culture and national identity with their drill. The Consulier 7. Reorganize our legal code to one that can be easily accessed. We will begin a recruitment drive for lawyers and Kritai (Judges). Make sure the people have a voice every year at the assembly, make sure the body is held at a constant interval. Start having our lawyers and Kritai enforce the laws legislated by the assembly such as tariffs or property rights. Write up a lawsuit format and guide so citizens can easily negotiate their disputes in court. Yours, HIS ROYAL EXCELLENCY, Gaius var Ruthern, Baron of Marsana, Amiratus of the Kingdom of Balian, Lord Seneschal of the Crown and Chief Minister of the Royal Duana.
