DER MERRYWEATHER VERTRAG

Issued by the

WALDENIC DIET

On this 10th day of Sigismund’s End of 1912

PREAMBLE
DIE PRÄAMBEL

Throughout the past two centuries, the Waldenic peoples have seen an unprecedented rise in assaults on the integrity of their cultural heritage. Though in this they share the fate of many brotherly peoples of Arcas and Almaris, one needs but to point to the especially revolting examples of blatant attempts to subvert and contest rightful Waldenian titles of nobility such as those of Sutica and Merryweather.

With this taken into account, the need for a mutual compact of support between the Waldenian nobility aimed at affirming and protecting the titular integrity of their rightful domains was first seen and agreed upon during the second iteration of the Waldenic Diet under Lord Vandalore Ulrich Lothar von Alstreim in the year 1850, though failed to materialize after his sudden death during the Siege of Haverlock in 1860.

With the initiative to formally write up and pass such a compact revived during the start of the fifth iteration of the Waldenic Diet, and voted on in favor unanimously by the present Electors time and time again, the time to formally codify the matter and see it become reality has now finally come.

It having been thus decreed, the Waldenic Diet and its Electors
- Vow to, in accordance with the Sacred Law of Waldenia, safeguard the Crowns of Aesterwald, Westerwald (the Westerlands), Vandoria and Waldenia, keeping them in abeyance until a time a legal and legitimate Waldenian polity can be established.
- Vow to, in accordance with the Sacred Law of Waldenia, acknowledge no other as Lord Vandalore and Margrave of Vanderfell than the rightful, by the Diet elected, incumbent.
- Vow to protect each others’ rights to their personal, inherent extant and abeyant Waldenian titles such as Sutica and Merryweather through direct and joint action, without breaking the laws of their realms and without forgoing their extant oaths of fealty.
