Nobility Calendar of Year 232


Now with photos! Time has come for a more narrow focus on the royal house and just one high nobility house from each region. Awaiting the Regional Reform Year 233, this might be the last time we have most high nobility listed.
It's now Year 232!

The Royal Palace Office (RPO) handles all events, invitations and more. The Royal House will mostly serve the community by attending various events out in the 8 regions as well as abroad. In addition there will be a few events hosted by them. In addition they might accept invitations from each region's highest nobility house - they equals to the 8 members of the High order of the Baltazar.

Summer is Social Season, packed with smaller or ad-hoc events with less formality and shorter notice, leading up to the Grand Ball at the royal palace. On top of this there are quite some representations involving patronages and more. Each high nobility house will typically host a couple events every year. They rarely take on community engagements outside their home district, unless being urged by the RPO. Guests are traditionally from same or one step down ranks, or even lower ranks if there exist family, historical or geographical connections. Each house will rarely accept more than two invitations per season, Summer (Social Season) is the exception, and the Royal House with more active members might get busier.

Full regional calendars, including all high nobility Houses, automatically updated with big and small anniversaries are available in the community section. Here are the headlines for Year 232:



Mazaloom kingdom covers eight regions; 1. Windenburg, 2. Rossie, 3. Tredony, 4. Crafthole, 6. Aarbyville, 7. Advorton, 8. Ticktop and 12. Mazaloom. Following the Royal House, there is one calendar section per region.

This year we welcome Crown Princess Emireza to the royal payroll. She turned 20 last year, and despite still being a high school student, she will be available for a couple community engagements. All four royal children are now in boarding high schools.


Military Tribute Day (Chestnut Ridge) to be attended by HRM King Tarriot and HRH Queen Venezia.

The Great Mazaloom Symposium (San Sequoia) will be attended by King Tarriot, This event, formerly known as the Great Mazaloom Gathering (GMG), is hosted by the Royal Chamber and topping the guest list are all dukes and regional Mayors. This year the subject is «Our Children, our Future», which will cover several interesting topics.

Before end of Spring, Royal Palace Office (RPO) will announce the lineup for this year's Royal Court, Investiture Day - 1st Day of Winter. The announcement is traditionally made at the Symposium.


«Ladies' Garden Party» (Royal Palace) is traditionally hosted by Queen Venezia. This is a ladies only event, and women from the wide aristocracy will attend. HRH Crown Princess Emireza will attend.

30th «Queen Evez Championship» (Newcrest) to be attended by King Tarriot and Queen Venezia. This show jumping event is one of the more popular during Social Season, but it is arranged only bi-annually.

Ward Park's 25th Anniversary (Del Sol Valley) attended by Queen Venezia.

Mazaloom Ball (Royal Palace) is hosted by King Tarriot and Queen Venezia. This traditional ball is where nobility can show of their medals and tiaras in a slightly less rigid manner; photographers are not allowed.


New Dimension Day - daytime (Copperdale) attended by King Tarriot and Queen Venezia. This is Mazaloom's constitution day, and there are normally multiple events attended by royals.

New Dimension Day - daytime (Britechester) attended by Crown Princess Emireza.

New Dimension Day - evening (Royal Palace). The royal family will be seen on the balcony of the royal palace in time for the traditional evening salute.

The «Windenburg Fox Battle» (Windenburg) attended by Crown Princess Emireza. This is a bi-annual tournament which takes place in Fall, arranged by Hot Fox Dance Alliance. There are no details yet on whether HRH will attend the event as a participant. She is currently a student in Windenburg where the dance activity stands strong.

Jubilee Lunch (Royal Palace) attended by King Tarriot and Queen Venezia. This event takes place in Fall every year there are members of the great peerage to honor. Guests of honor this year: House of Thebe (225 years), House of Alto (150 years), House von Kaching (50 years).

The event might be adjusted according to the development of the cultural conflict during the year.


By agreement, House of Thebe and House of Sax-Donnersmalt were already taken out of this calendar, as both houses will surely lose their high nobility status when their District Order goes inactive. This has not yet been executed, but Baron Auphor of Verde is less active due to old age, and Baron Rainert of Myshuno will not tend much to community engagement while in University for two more years.




Region 1 covers the districts Windenburg and Granite Falls. The only high nobility peerage is the Windenburg dukedom.

The highlight of the year will be Duke Merlin's 80th birthday Gala Dinner taking place in Spring. It was confirmed by RPO that HRM King Tarriot will attend. It is the first time since the Von Windenburg Estate renovation that a Monarch visits the Windenburg Isle. It's also worth mentioning that the twins Lady Brinhilda and Lady Onette will start school this Fall.

Region 3 covers the districts Tredony and Tartosa (incl. Effenmont Island). The only high nobility peerage is the Tredony county with their seat in Tartosa. Region 3 is rather small, and it has been suggested to merge it with Region 6, which seems to stir up some local protests due to historical matters.

Prince Jerome recently chose to break loose from the royal House of Luxe-Hamper, mainly because his two sons were not considered members anyway. The changes hardly affected their locally focused life. Prince Jerome is still a member of the Royal Chamber.

It looks to be a rather busy year with Duke Vibrattore's 50th birthday and the Grand Mazalom Symposium taking place in San Sequoia this year. The couple still has no children, but the duke's brother, Baron Vincent of Man, recently had twins, meaning the future of this huse is secured anyway.

It looks to be a pleasant year with few events beyond the standard line-up. It might give Count Chander a chance to focus on the ranch. His uncle, Lord Floyd, stays at the ranch occasionally but is not seen a member of the household.

Region 8 covers the district of Glimmerbrook incl. Tickertown. The only high nobility peerage is the Ticktop county. When Region 8 gets merged with either Region 2 or Region 4, House de Gould will no longer be covered by his calendar.

House de Gould

Being high nobility of such a small region, Count Helfert is more than likely to loose the District Order that today is held by the county. When Region 8 gets merged into a bigger region, this house will therefore become low nobility. Year 232 might be their last year on this calendar


Spring: Great Mazaloom Symposium (San Sequoia) attended by Count Helfert.

Spring: Duke Vibrattore of Aarbyville's 50th Birthday Concert (San Sequoia) attended by Count Helfert alone.

Y232 looks to be an average year. Duke Victus is getting more politically engaged than before, he is the current Hood Contact for Fashion District, but this function will be replaced by a Councilor (District Contact) from next election. There are mechanisms preventing top nobility from working with politics on higher levels, their scene is the Royal Chamber where Victus is a member. This Fall Lady Corva will move out to study at University of Britechester.
