Brothers in Blood

 

Issued on 15th of Horen's Calling, 75 B.A.

House Vilac and House Ruthern have seen it fit to reestablish a familial and defensive pact between the two Noble houses of the Kingdom of Balian. With the hope of lasting peace in our time, the accord will be used to unite the two houses under a common goal of peace and friendship. Only when absolutely necessary will a combined defense force be formed. This reaffirmation is still in tandem with the agreements already made with House Ivanovich between Vilac and Ruthern.

 

I.   Recognition

 

House Vilac and House Ruthern 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.   Mutual Defense

 

In any case of an attack against either house, both shall take appropriate action. An attack against either is an attack against both and an attack against the Kingdom of Balian.

 

III.   Duration

 

The familial pact 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 EXCELLENCY, Casimir Marius Vilac, Baron of Valio, Patriarch of House Vilac

Secretary of the Interior, Camareiro of the Andromedan Court

 

THE RIGHT HONORABLE, Ser Demetrius 'The Valiant' var Ruthern, Count of Marsana,

Almirante de la Operazions, Cavalier to the Order of Saint Michael
