Bastille du Lac
The Shire of Bastille du Lac (Hastings and Prince Edward Counties including the Cities of Belleville and Quinte West) is located in the Kingdom of Ealdormere.
The Shire of Bastille du Lac is located on a busy commercial route in the south-east portion of the Kingdom of Ealdormere. Deep inside a sheltered bay on the shores of the inland sea, at the frontier between the Barony of Septentria and Skraeling Althing, the Shire is at the cross road of the Kingdom and this position created a warm and generous people ready to welcome all weary travelers.
In a modern context, the Shire of Bastille du Lac is located primarily in Belleville and Trenton, Ontario, on the shore of the Quinte bay.
History
In 1998, the gentles of the region sought the keys of their freedom by asking permission to the Prince of, then, the Principality of Ealdormere to create their own Shire. After many moons, many seasons and more missive than anyone can remember, Royal ascension to the full status of Shire was granted on the day of Candlemas, the 2nd day of February AS 47 (2013) by King Roak the Fifth at the Tournoi du Coeur de Glace.
