Founding[]
Celador was founded as the capital of New Arundel on January 18, 2007. It originally only consisted of the western half of Paris. Eventually, Celador included the entire city of Paris.

Now the Royal Family lives in the Vendôme Palace in the city. During the summer, the Royal Family resides at Grand Palais de Française.

During the Dunconian War, the New Arundel countryside was evacuated and all citizens took refuge in Celador. Some citizens stayed with relatives, some at hotels, and some even at the Celador Palace. The New Arundel Royal Family left the Palace of Versailles and stayed in Celador Palace. The Versailles Palace became the New Arundel Military Base. After the war, citizens moved back to the New Arundel countryside and rebuilt their homes and villages.
This war was fought with the Dunconian Empire, ruled by King Duncan. The Dunconian Empire territories now belong to New Arundel.

During the Dunconian War, Vendôme was destroyed when the Dunconian forces dropped a bomb on the plaza, mistaking it for Celador Palace. The buildings surrounding the plaza were also destroyed.
King Michel and Queen Elizabeth had the site rebuilt, but instead of rebuilding a public plaza, King Michel had a new Royal Palace constructed there.

The Royal Gardens has a large fountain much like the Trevi Fountain in Rome. The name for the royal fountain is the Grand Fountain of Royal France.

When New Arundel took control of all Paris, Luxembourg Palace remained a residence until the Royal Republic began.

After the Grand Kingdom took over, the palace became empty and unused until King Michel decided to create Celador Christian Academy. The school will be a private school and the students will be assigned uniforms. The headmaster will be Sir Thaddaeus Cloerreon and the school will have dormitories across the street.
