The Dalian Movement
Named after its founder, Caspar Dalian, The Dalian Movement was an artistic, musical, and intellectual community that originated in the early ages after The War of Many Banners. This movement was defined by its emphasis on intellectual individuality and its emotional and spiritual wanderlust. Dalian and his contemporaries, motivated by their shared beliefs in the centrality of creative pursuits, started their own collective. The original settlement existed as a commune, a society whereby each and every individual held themselves responsible over the well being of the entire community. This allowed them to practice their craft and live by the values they held most important. As outsiders and traders began to admire The Dalian’s grand artistic works, an influx of wealth and admiration grew Dalliance into the town it is known for today.
