The Principality of Berwyn was the third new nation to join the Empire from the Call to Sovereignty initiative, being formally established on 25 February 2021. Enclaved in Wales, the Principality was formed by former Sawatch citizen Prince Bernard. The cultural identity of Berwyn is formed primarily around Welsh traditions, with certain Cornish and Manx elements. The national sport of Berwyn is Falconry, with Prince Bernard having his own personal falcon, Olwen. | |||
Berwyn's central (and largest) province, Carreg Newydd, is also the home to its capital, Glaslyn. This region is directly presided over by Prince Bernard. There are also two smaller provinces to the north and south. The northern province, Hough Twoaie, features a culture that maintains an identity that is clearly Berwynese, while also having distinct Manx influences. To the south of Carreg Newydd is the province of Grond Deghow, whose Welsh aspects are accompanied by distinct Cornish traditions. | |||
From inception, Berwyn had two orders of chivalry. The higher of these, the Most Excellent Order of the Kite, has only one rank and is limited to 6 members. t was kept as the only distinctly Berwynese order after the formation of the Prydain Kingdom. | |||
In April 2021 Berwyn began hosting a monthly virtual training series on skills deemed vital to appropriate period clothing of the Berwynese court. These sessions so far have covered blacksmithing and clothes dyeing. Future series are expected to focus on weaving, sewing, knitting, and chainmail. In July 2021, Berwyn hosted Queen Barbara of Maevis. This meeting began the process of the two nations combining. | |||
