GoodGuyMatt 7062 Popular Post Share Posted August 2, 2022 THE ACCORD OF THE SECOND HARVEST TO THE SONS OF MINIZ, ACRE, AND WHOMEVER THIS CONCERNS For a long time now the Viscounty of Minitz and its subjects have watched the bloody civil war unfold. We have watched our brothers from both sides draw swords and blood, with heavy hearts have we witnessed such doings. With similarly heavy hearts have we seen the King of Oren fall, and thus now the Orenian crown sits in the air, without a head to rest upon, without a crowned King to lead. The Viscount of Minitz, Dietrich Barclay, has kept its loyalties and oaths for the duration of this civil war. He had pledged to the Orenian Crown as it sat on the head of Frederick I, and so had not raised a single sword against Oren. On the other hand, it has become apparent that the Crown is unable to muster men and rally to defend our Viscounty and its subjects, which is a breach of traditional feudal obligations. Yet, as Minitz has kept its oath to the Crown of Oren, it has also done so to the Barony of Acre. Upon the signing of the Accord of the First Harvest, had Theoderic’s Warband, now the fighting force of Minitz, to not draw one another’s blood, which has not occured. Acre and the Theodericans have been brothers ever since the Warband’s inception and the rise of House de Vilain. Two brothers driven apart by politics and oaths that bound them from fighting together Now, with these chains unshackled following the passing of His Majesty Frederick I, does the Viscounty of Minitz and its tribes find it fit to choose their own fate, to be free of obligations, as is the nature of the Reinmaren and the Waldenian. Thus, does the Accord of the Second Harvest emerge, stronger than before, more united than before. - Sir Leon Barclay, Chieftain of Theoderic's Warband ARTICLE I: On Recognition Upon the declaration of this alliance, the Viscounty of Minitz and the Barony of Acre, and hereupon named “the Harvest Lords'', do pledge mutual allegiance to one another once again, recognizing and supporting one another claims to their respective authorities upon their people, lands, and titles. Thus agreeing that Each Harvest Lord holds the only legitimate claim to their respective titles and authorities that come with them, as follows The Viscount of Minitz and House of Barclay von Minitz as the only legitimate claimants of the Viscounty of Minitz, and any titles vassalized under them The Baron of Acre and House of de Vilain as the only legitimate claimants of the Barony of Acre, and any titles vassalized under the None of the Harvest Lords may claim legitimacy to any of the other’s titles or lands ARTICLE II: On Defensive Assistance The Harvest Lords do hereupon agree to provide military assistance to one another in the event of aggression towards any of the them, or in the event of pending aggression. The Harvest Lords do also agree to train their warriors together whenever the chance for such is given, thus enforcing the good relations between them. Furthermore, the Harvest Lords agree to not engage in military recruitment within the other’s lands, or recruit one-another’s subjects, unless both Harvest Lords agree to such. ARTICLE III: On Trade Agreement and Exchange The Harvest Lords do hereupon agree to engage in open trade and exchange between one another. These include any materials produced by any of the Harvest Lords, be it crops, animals, metal, or weaponry. Each Harvest Lord may require the others to trade any produce, and both Harvest Lords do agree that such trade will be conducted in good will, so that all parties involved may profit ARTICLE IV: On Travel and Legal Authority The Harvest Lords do hereupon agree to allow the free, unrestricted movement of one another’s subjects or warriors in their lands, without harassment or bother, lest the individuals traveling have been found to break the laws of the Kingdom or respective Harvest Lord. The Harvest Lords do also recognize the legal authority that each of them have in their respective lands. If a Harvest Lord’s subject is found to break the law within the land of another, the Lord of the land may trial them as they see fit. ARTICLE V: On Squires and Pages The Harvest Lords do hereupon agree to allow and engage in the exchange of squires and pages between the Noble Houses of Barclay von Minitz and de Vilain, thus fostering better noble relations with their heirs and pedigrees. ARTICLE VI: On Diplomatic and Political Cooperation The Harvest Lords do hereupon agree to engage in both diplomatic and political cooperation with one another, doing so in good faith, aiming for mutual benefit. Neither of the Harvest Lords shall offer political support for any claimants to the Harvest Lords titles or lands ARTICLE VI: On Duration The Harvest Lords do hereupon agree that the alliance is to last indefinitely. The Harvest Lords do also agree that in the event of political change or turmoil, they may gather to re-discuss the agreements of the alliance, doing so in good faith SIGNED, Dietrich Lothar Barclay, Viscount of Minitz, Lord of Durrës, the Iron Defende Sir Leon Barclay, Chieftain of Theoderic’s Warband, Heir to the Viscounty of Minitz Sir Gustaf de Vilain, Baron of Acre, Champion of the Ivory Alps Hannes de Vilain, Patriarch of Vilain, Father Of All 38 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ottilie Franziska Jazloviecki commented. "Unlike us who now are neutral, they were always on Acre's side to begin with - choosing to hide behind their title until again, it suited them." 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stanimar vividly remembers this, having vividly gone there to vividly ransom his friend. Indeed, his friend was vividly outrallied by the Jazlo prisoners, as Stanimar had already vividly remembered. 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
