The Settlement of the Vasoyevi

[Treaty 1353]

THE SETTLEMENT OF THE VASOYEVI

The Vasović Caravan of the Vasoyevi had traveled far and wide during their time on the road, yet when deciding to settle down permanently, they landed in the halls of Kal’Darakaan, the capital of the Grand Kingdom of Urguan. Known for their hospitality towards groups looking for land, this reputation garnered by Grand King Norli Starbreaker was once again seen in the discussions with the Vasoyevi people. With their intentions clear, the Vasović Caravan and the Grand Kingdom of Urguan take pen to paper, agreeing to:

 

SECTION I: LAND ACQUISITION & TAXATION

The Grand Kingdom of Urguan, hereby referred to as ‘the Benefactor’, and the Vasović Caravan, hereby referred to as ‘the Tributary’, henceforth enter into an agreement regarding the acquisition of lands by the Tributary. Both parties agree:

 

       I.THAT the Tributary shall be granted a plot within Urguani land to develop and manage.

 

       II.THAT the size of the plot may increase beyond its initial size if agreed upon mutually by the Benefactor and Tributary.

 

       III.THAT the Tributary shall be taxed annually by the Benefactor.

             A.IF the land of the Tributary is expanded, said party pledges 5000 minae for the acquisition of the land.

                    i. Any outposts or forts built by the Benefactor on land allocated to the Tributary must be mutually agreed upon in size and  location.

                    ii. Any outposts or forts built on lands expanded into, owned directly by the government of the Benefactor, shall maintain under control of the Benefactor past expansion.

                    iii. Any properties not directly owned by the Benefactor in expanded lands shall either have to make an agreement with the Tributary or negotiate a new deal with the Benefactor.

                    iv. IF taxes are left unpaid, the Benefactor is authorized to seize the Tributary’s land until paid.

 

SECTION II: SOVEREIGNTY & SUZERAINTY

The Benefactor and Tributary parties recognize the wishes of the Tributary to remain autonomous within their lands. With said notion in mind, both parties agree:

       I.THAT the Tributary shall be awarded internal autonomy to establish their own government, laws, religion, military, and diplomacy.

             A.THE laws of the Tributary's state shall not interfere with the laws of the Benefactor.

 

       II.THAT the Benefactor holds the authority to arrest criminals of the nation within the Tributary’s lands through communication with said lands’ dignitaries.

 

       III. THAT the Tributary is permitted to conduct foreign affairs of their own, so long as they are not enemies of the Benefactor.

             A. THE Tributary is to discuss possible agreements with outside nations with the Benefactor state upon request.

             B. THE Tributary is to halt any foreign diplomacy with enemies of the Benefactor state upon request.

 

       IV. THAT the Tributary is to be considered a Protectorate of the Benefactor, meaning all aggression towards the Tributary is also against the Benefactor.

 

       V. THAT the Tributary shall produce their military to assist the Benefactor in any and all conflicts and work alongside the military of the Benefactor.

 

       VI. THAT the Tributary is forbidden from declaring war without the express permission of the Benefactor.

             A. IF the Tributary are the aggressors of a war, the Benefactor holds no obligation to join said war.

 

       VII. THAT the Benefactor is to be given a structure in the Tributary's main holding to act as an embassy.

 

       VIII. THAT the Tributary shall be permitted access of he Benefactor's full resource production centers.

 

SECTION III: INDEPENDENCE

With the Tributary wishing for the possibility of independence, both parties agree:

        I. THAT if the Tributary is deemed capable of being considered their own nation, immediate talks shall commence between the Benefactor and Tributary.

 

       I. THAT an additional 5000 minae be awarded to the Benefactor by the Tributary.

 

       III. THAT if Independence is agreed upon by both parties, this agreement shall be declared null and a new agreement negotiated establishing said Independence and an Alliance.

Andrik Vasović smiled proudly upon the parchment, ink still wet upon his quill. "A new era for our people has come," he'd remark, turning to Franjo @Proddy. "With this treaty, the Vasoyevi rise."

[Proddy 2415]

 

Franjo Pavle Samardzic toasts his cup of Raikija to Andrik as he reads over the finalised publication of the treaty, seated in the small study of his caravan within the Vasoyevi troupe with the leader of their people. "To your health, Granj Vojvoda. Dugo ziveti Vasiyeva!"

Tajaña Amina Vasović moved to gently plant a palm on her brother’s shoulder, “I’m proud of you.” She’d remark in his direction.

Nadéžda Martinek eyes the document being presented to the caravan with a tilted head. The young 10 year old girl ponders it for a couple moments as everyone 'oohs' and 'aahs' around her. Eventually she pipes up.

"Dis es dobar?" She asks, "Our tatka and our braca wrote this?"

The excitement of the crowd eventually gets to her. "Our new prijatelj did this?! We are free?!" She gasps in excitement. "Za Vasoyevi!!! Um, long live The Grand Kralj or Urguan!!"

[Burnsider 4566]

Ursula Soreana Vasović stood on top of one of the wagons as the fires were struck that evening. "Vasoyevi, my people, my loves, hearken to ja! The time that was foretold has come, the deal signed, the bargain struck! Behold, the One That Was Prophecied has fulfilled the first step in his grand destiny, our grand destiny." She raised her hands and cast some powder into the fire, causing it to flame up to a great height. "Praise be to GOD! Praise be to the Exalted Sigismund! May HE bless Vasiyeva, Sava, se our Granj Vojvoda!"

 

"ZA VASOYEVI!"

Đurađ Vasović would pat his nephew on the back. "It's good to finally have a place to call home."

[LuneAria 169]

Asvi furrows her brow as she reads the treaty. "Is Urguan ze mos' diverse nation? Vow. Vell, as lon' as dzey 'elp take zem mountain back, ah loike 'em. Good luck Vasoyevehs!" She takes a sip of wine and folds up the publication. 

[Leyrin 262]

"Za Vasoyevi!" Dilaia cheered, raising a glass of Rakija in toast towards Ursula. Her jewellery chimed as she danced the Kolo with her kin, laughing giddily from the night's excitement and drinks. She bowled towards Andrik, embracing the man tightly as she pressed a kiss against his cheek. In Vezik, she spoke: "You did it, my love! We did it! I will always stand by your side."
