PREAMBLE:

This article serves as a formal pact between the government representing The Jade State of Yong Ping and the independent monastic Lectorate of the Prophet Owyn. The last decade has witnessed the blossoming of our friendship started between Lector Dante of Dodaitose and Zhao Ting Fung of Yong Ping. The Jade State has fought and bled alongside the Owynists in the protection of the Luciensburg parish and a significant portion of our Lectorate has either served or continues to serve in the Yong Ping Army on their journey to citizenship. Thus both parties find it fit to officialize our bonds and declare our peace publicly.

Article I: Declaration of Friendship and Non Aggression

The Jade State of Yong Ping and the Lectorate of the Prophet Owyn have deemed both signatories as virtuous stock with good morals, good intentions and a value for mundane, descendant life. We hereby declare the friendship between our parties and vow to not aggress upon one another. 

• The Lectorate of the Prophet Owyn is a non-secular organization and it is noted they are to refrain from politics in the realm of Almaris.

Article II: Military Agreement

Because of our shared locale, The Jade State of Yong Ping and the Lectorate of the Prophet Owyn also share many hostiles including but not limited to: Ratiki, vampires, ice beasts, bandits and dark sorcerers. Both signatories agree to henceforth work together to protect their neighboring lands.

• The Lectorate of the Prophet Owyn agrees to act as an auxiliary force to the Yong Ping Army and will act in defense of the citizens of the Jade State against road bandits and dark entities [vampires, dark wizards, undead, etc]. It is to be made clear that The Lectorate of the Prophet Owyn will not act as law enforcement and simply as an auxiliary force the Jade-State to call upon if in need of aid from aforementioned threats. 

• The Jade State of Yong Ping and the Lectorate of the Prophet Owyn agree to work together in the investigation of dark entities and supernatural anomalies within our shared region. This includes sharing beastiary knowledge, sharing investigative progress and collaborative hunting throughout the southern Eastfleet region where both of our peoples have been attacked.

• The Jade State of Yong Ping pledges continued support of the Luciensburg parish’s fight against the Blackhide Ratiki hordes [ratmen].

Article III: Religious Protections

Despite our differences in faith, The Jade State of Yong Ping and the Lectorate of the Prophet Owyn have deemed our separate faiths are of good will and intention. In respect to both our friendship and the laws of the Jade State, the following terms are agreed upon.

• The Lectorate of the Prophet Owyn, who practices a sect of Canonism known as Owynism, will be allowed to practice their faith publicly and in accordance to Yong Ping law, preaching will be kept minimal. 

• The Lectorate of the Prophet Owyn will respect the local faiths and ideologies of the Jade State of Yong Ping, and in turn the Jade State of Yong Ping agrees not to persecute law-abiding Canonists based on their faith in respect to their religious laws. Nor shall the Lectorate of the Prophet Owyn prosecute or attempt to convert individuals of the Yong Ping faiths.

• In accordance with the military agreement and their religious faith, the Lectorate of the Prophet Owyn will not be disarmed at the gates.
