Balien is ruled by the Rasal-Elerian Family, who trace their line back to the Ancient Balien Empire. Balien is again trying to rebuild the Balien Empire, by approaching both Relmandia and Casiopan to Sign a Letter of Confederation, which will give Balien almost complete control of both countries, after which it will help them defeat Rylan. If it can convince both countries to sign the Agreement, Balien will control the Sea of Life and the Trade Routes from the Great Plains.
Balien is located on the Western Side of the Sea of Life, between it and the Western Rim Range, and is a rich but rugged country with lots of cliffs, volcanic outcrops, coastal swamps, large hilly forested areas and small farming areas, Balien is for this reason a wild and dangerous country which has bred a tough and resourceful folk.
Located to south and southeast of Balien are the Great Sand Sea and Valley of Hell, and the Evil Armies and Powerful Evil Creatures that inhabit these 2 places are a constant source of trouble to the People of Balien.
Balien City is the Capital City of Balien and is a Major Trading City, with trade routes leading to Taglaret, Bendoff, Frieberg and the Shipping Routes to The Burghs and Plains.
In BY262 Rylan invaded Relmandia and Besieged Brescia, and responding to the threat, not just to Relamandia, but to itself Balien entered the War. After 34 Gruelling Years of War over much of NW Balimer the Great War of Confederation finally ended with all countries exhausted and with little to show for it. Balien gained most of Taglaret after that Kingdom fell to Marijan and Balien's Army came to its Aid
