YAKOV'S PROMISE

 

Issued on 9th of Sigismund’s End, 1929, 62 B.A.

In the spirit of unity and common heritage, House Vilac and House Ivanovich have determined that it is in the best interests of both houses to establish a new relationship built on honor and trust to ensure a promising future for the descendants of both houses. With this new hope in mind, the leaders of both houses have agreed to begin with a pledge of protection, adding to the alliances that already exist between their respective nations, Balian and Aaun.  

 

I. Recognition

 

House Vilac and House Ivanovich recognize each other’s rightful leaders and their designated heirs. Furthermore, Both houses commit to upholding and carrying out any edicts or missives penned by either house in a timely and efficient manner.

 

II. Non-Aggression

 

House Vilac and House Ivanovich will continue to honor the agreements set forth by the Novellen-Augusten Pact of 1913, 46 B.A., and any future alliances that are to be created between the Kingdom of Balian and the United Kingdom of Aaun. The respective houses shall not incite conflict or bring harm to each other's families or nations. 

 

III. Mutual Defense

 

In any case of an attack against either house, both shall take appropriate action. An attack against one is an attack against both.  

 

IV. Duration

 

This pledge of defense shall henceforth be in effect for the duration of each Patriarch’s leadership. Once the leadership of either house changes, the heirs can reconvene to discuss new terms and renegotiate.

SIGNED,

 

His Grace, Ser Jan Arpad Ivanovich

Duke of Stran, Patriarch of House Ivanovich

 

Lord Casimir Marius Vilac

Patriarch of House Vilac

 

His Lordship, Istvan Matyas Ivanovich

Anastaja Marie points at a word on the document as she watches her father sign it. "Sto does that word mean?"
