Preamble

 

The people of Minitz and the Halflings of Dúnwen are now to become friends with one another upon this Friendship Agreement of 1935. Eloisee Veiel first approached the Shire King Cyris, with a letter seeking for a chance to discuss in terms of forming a bond of friendship together. Upon meeting, she presented herself with a gift to show her intentions of continuing to plant seeds of friendship with the Halflings. Both Eloisee and King Cyris decided together that this agreement of friendship would help to push aside the borders separating Minitzers and Halflings, as we all unite and become friends.

Article I: Recognition 

Both signatories agree to respect the different aspects of cultures from both parties’ communities. Any past wrongdoings that have been done will be left to the past and the future will be held in mutual respect and honor of both cultural lifestyles. Since we are to form a friendship with one another, all are to be treated equally in respect for each other’s beliefs and lifestyles. 

 

Article II: Trading

Both signatories agree that both parties may exchange goods amongst each other by means of bartering due to Halfling living a currency free lifestyle. Places for trade may be set up adhering to the rules of both places. If a Halfling were to set up a trading post in Minitz, they may pay rent through any goods they offer to the interest of the taxmen. If a Minitzer were to set up a trading post in Dúnwen, they would abide by the cost of rent that is in Dúnwen. 

 

Article III: Non-Aggression

Both signatories agree that in the time of need, both sides will come to aid each other in time of need, and not raise weapons against each other. Whether the reason may be where one seeks for support and assistance, the other will come to help settle the issue at hand until peace is regained once more. May it be that a battle occurs in the fields that surround the citizens, or any nation and its vassals decide to cause any political dispute onto both parties. 

 

Article IV: Extradition

Both signatories agree that if either party’s citizen has broken the law of the land they are accused of committing a crime, they will be apprehended in the land they did so. It is only fair that the accused should face trial under the law and jurisdiction in front of the court of those they have wronged. 

 

Article VI: Duration

The friendship agreement signed by the signatories will last for 30 years , or so long as both parties uphold the agreement of remaining as friends for the many years to come. If on such an occasion that a party wishes to break off the agreements made, a request for a meeting to meet a representative of either side can be made to further the discussion of reason made.

Arthur Veiel-Lynott scanned the missive after hearing the halflings are friends of Minitz now, nodding as he looked over the page. "Mama, ich don't know how to read."
