THE HEARTLANDER ACCORD

[tilly 3672]

– THE HEARTLANDER ACCORD –

 

 

6th of Sigismund’s End, 1941

 

 

For too long, the Heartlands have been a divided people all working toward the single minded goal that is survival of one’s realm. War has plagued the Heartlands for decades, and it is only now, as we’ve finally settled into our new homeland of Aevos, that we have come together as a singular consciousness to protect our respective territories and cultures that reside within the Heartlands. As the Heartlandic Canonist realms of the Commonwealth of the Petra, the League of Veletz, the United Kingdom of Aaun, and the Kingdom of Numendil agree to the establishment of efficacious relations with one another with the intention of protecting their sovereign lands from external interference.

 

 

ARTICLE I - SOVEREIGNTY

The Commonwealth of the Petra, the League of Veletz, the Kingdom of Aaun and the Kingdom of Numendil, henceforth referred to as ‘the signatories,’ recognize each other’s realms as independent lands ruled by their respective leaders, and will make no attempt to subvert those authorities governing them.

 

ARTICLE II - TERRITORIAL BOUNDARIES

The signatories agree to acknowledge their declared borders and to not encroach on the land claims of the others within the Heartlander Accord. Maps of territorial claims included in individual pacts between realms.

 

ARTICLE III - DEFENSE 

The signatories shall adhere to a strict pact of non-aggression with each other, and will not incite conflict between the signatories. No signatory of this accord will provide military or economic aid to powers hostile to any of the other signatories. Lastly, each signatory vows to help one another during times of war where they are being aggressed upon by external entities.

 

The signatories shall strive to organize joint military exercises to train their respective armies. The frequency of this shall be, or at least once every calendar year. The aim of this is to foster a spirit of comradery between the respective signatories, and to allow for ease of cooperation in the event of war.

 

ARTICLE IV - PASSAGE

The signatories shall allow free passage to each other’s civilians to be able to travel between their respective territories, under the law of all signatories. Additionally, the signatories pledge not to allow the armies or warbands of third party belligerents to move across the territories which they have settled to attack the other.

 

When entering a settlement of another signatory, it is at the discretion of the respective settlement whether or not to confiscate the arms of the travelers from one or more of the other signatories. However, if such occurs, the settlement in question must take special care to take note of this and ensure that all weapons confiscated are returned to their respective owners upon exiting.

 

Those members of a signatory unwilling to hand over their weapons in such a scenario are to be allowed to leave the territory of said signatory. Should they be willing to hand over their arms for entry, or return unarmed, they may be permitted entry to the settlement they were first unwilling to disarm for to gain entry within.

 

ARTICLE V - VIOLATIONS

In a case where any signatory should be found by the others to be in violation of this pact, all articles shall remain in effect for the next year while the signatories search for a diplomatic resolution.

 

ARTICLE VI - DURATION

The articles treaty shall remain in effect between the signatories for a duration of ten years, after which time the parties may choose to either renew it with each other’s mutual consent or otherwise renegotiate its provisions.

After a few months of riding around between the four Kingdoms, Darius finally walked into the tavern in Veletz, taking a seat by the nearest table, simply staring into the wall before saying to some of the soldiers "We'll have some training to do, lots of it"

Philip Laurent read the treaty "WOW! I wonder who will try and mess with us now!" 

[Laeonathan 3966]

"Sounds like an Imperial Alliance against Haense." Noted an elf, with a smile. "Well... what is it, in the end?"

"United we are strong," A roach said, wagging his finger

Emperor Vesper Derfey smiles and then prepares to lay waste to the Kingdom of Haense with his newfound Tripartite armies. With the combined forces of Derfey-Renatus, the Piastdom of Aaun, and Fake-adria the true Emperor of Man would see to it that at last the North Man was pushed to the very fringes of civilized society, wrung from the earth much like a dirty towel being flung at a high velocity out of a broken, rattling washing machine.

 

"Derficus Eternicus," proclaimed the Renatian Emperor to his followers with perverse glee. The Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth, and Seventh Coalition Wars had begun. The Derfeonic Wars were just beginning. @Mio@Nectorist

Matin Derfey awakes in the morning, heart racing, and looks around the room in horror, the actions of his vespertine alter-ego fresh yet hazy in his mind like a nightmare all-too-real.

John VIII sips a daiquiri on his favorite beach in the seven skies. At his right hand side, a certain eternally loyal friend of a Galbraith @sergisala mentions the news of a Heartland unification effort amongst their corporeal descendants. The deceased Emperor exclaims his approval, "well it's about damn time!"

An old and decrepit ghost of Sir Charles Galbraith, deceased imperial statesman, clapped from a beach in the Seven Skies upon hearing of the Heartland reunification "Progress!" he cheered before glancing at Emperor John VIII and George Kovachev "It seems that part of the descendants of Horen haven't forgotten the legacy of the Exalted Prophets. The Heartlands are no longer divided, my friends." he said. @KosherZombie @Esterlen
