The Grand Duchy of Balian, or simply Balian, is a densely populated Human nation situated within the southern continent of Almaris and neighbors both the Principality of Savoy and the Druidic Order. The Grand Duchy was founded as a direct result of the Brothers' War, which was a civil war between the Royalist and Imperialist factions. Following the Royalist victory, the Imperial remnant fled to the south of Almaris and declared the creation of a new Nation under the leadership of John Casimir, who was an uncle of the deceased Peter IV.
