THE PACT OF ASH AND STONE

[Treaty 1349]

THE PACT OF ASH AND STONE

Since the era of The Iron Accord, the Grand Kingdom of Urguan and Kingdom of Norland have benefitted from a mutual understanding and respect between their peoples. This understanding, one that has continued despite the Accord’s collapse, has led the once-allies to reunite once more politically, agreeing recently to a Pact of Non-Aggression. The agreement between the two nations is as follows:

 

SECTION I: PEACE & NON-AGGRESSION

The Grand Kingdom of Urguan and the Kingdom of Norland, hereby referred to as ‘the signatories’, declare that any individuals affiliated with their nation, militaries, or clans/houses shall not engage in hostile or combative action against the other signatory. If such actions do occur, both signatories agree to deal with said problems through diplomacy.

 

       I. THE signatories hereby recognize the sovereignty and lands of both nations.

 

       II. THE signatories hereby officially enter into a pact of non-aggression.

 

       III. THE signatories shall avoid conflicts that could potentially put them at odds with one another.

 

       IV. THE signatories and their residents shall be protected whilst in one another’s lands.

 

       V. THE signatories agree that any attacks by third-party groups with no affiliation to them shall not be a breach of non-aggression.

 

SECTION II: TRADE

The signatories agree that a pact of free-trade shall begin between both parties, with each agreeing:

 

       I. THAT nation-affiliated merchants shall be allowed to trade in the other signatory’s nation without unnecessary tax or harassment.

 

       II. THAT each signatory shall receive one untaxed stall to sell whatever goods they see fit, so long as they do not break said nation’s laws.
 

 

Shall these oaths sworn to each other be renewed in 12 years time, otherwise the Pact shall be declared null.

High Prophet Norli recalls many fond memories shared with the Norlanders, fighting against the inferi incursions together and how they were one of the few peoples trusted with dwarven steam engines. He smiles, hoping to see such a bond grow again.

Anders Bishop Henrikev would recall hearing of the Treaty of Providence, the war-ending treaty to the Norland-Oren war. He would then realise that the Kingdom of Norland, the pagans that they were, have broken the treaty by reigniting their diplomatic efforts with the Dwarves. Very interesting indeed.

Ellenore Eiriksson recalls that the Treaty of Providence states military alliances, pacts, coordinations, or coalitions, and does not include Pacts of Non-Aggression. So she can't think of any reason why Norland would be in breach of the Treaty of Providence. "Missed opportunity to call it the Pact of Brimstone, but perhaps that would sound better for a military alliance, which this isn't." She says to herself, wandering around the woods as she is currently homeless and refuses to pay taxes to Skygods.
