Great Tour of 1693
The Great Tour of 1693 (Calbic: Mordaith Fawr) is an ongoing diplomatic visit of the Prince of the Calbain and the Governor-General of Calbion to the overseas territories of the Calbain state as well as a number of official state visits to sovereign states in Cibola and Keltia. At many state visits, treaties of friendship will be signed. The Great Tour was an idea of Governor-General Richard ab Ioan and can be regarded as the culmination of the colonial expansion during his term, as well as the policy of Agoriad.
Notable Events
Several important events occured during the tour. The tour marked the first time a Calbain leader visited Zandarijn. The visit to the Elwynnese station Kaamiozyr culminated in the recognition of the anti-Raspurid Republic of Tarrland. This recognition was highly political and part of the Calbain support for Republican forces in the Second Elwynnese Civil War. The visit to the Skerries coincided with the MSC recognition of Calbion's establishment of the Crown Colony of Y Skerriach.
