AstriaS 3720 Share Posted September 19, 2023 The Treaty of Merryweather Issued the 8th of the Deep Cold in the Year 146 of the Second Age Though the peace of the realm has been disturbed, it is not beyond mending. Thus, in wisdom and the pursuit of goodwill, we do set ourselves on the path of peaceful conduct and cooperation. With the signing and promulgation of this document, the Kingdom of Númendil and the Iron Horde, henceforth referred to as ‘the signatories’, do agree on their honor to the terms laid forth hereafter. ARTICLE I: Peace and Non-Aggression Firstly, the signatories agree hereafter to let lie the troubles caused by the actions of the Kazin’Kul Clan, and shall mutually endeavor to prevent such strife in the future. Secondly, the signatories agree in the absolute to a pact of non-aggression. There shall be no military conflict between either state, nor between their constituent vassals, noble Houses, or Clans. Any breaches of this term shall be resolved through the appropriate diplomatic channels. Thirdly, Tar-Caraneth Aryantë formally apologizes for the error in her original decree, in which she mistakenly used the name of the in-abeyance War-Nation of Krugmar, rather than the correct title, the Iron Horde. ARTICLE II: Sovereignty The signatories mutually recognize the other as the sole sovereign state over their respective lands and peoples, with the Kingdom of Númendil recognizing the Iron Horde’s rule over the desert of Ilzdalgumu, and as the sole rulers of the Orcish race. In return, the Rexdom of the Iron Horde recognizes the Kingdom of Númendil as the sole rulers of the Adunic peoples, and recognizes the House of Arthalionath as the sole rulers of the Kingdom of Númendil, the Rexdom of the Iron Horde recognizes Númenedain rule over the western slopes of Mount Alkayaban and the banks of the Thirsting Oasis (Desert tiles 9 and 10). Finally, the signatories pledge to hold no vassals belonging to each-other’s peoples, as recognition of sovereignty over their respective races. ARTICLE III: Trade The signatories shall, pursuant to mutual benefit, commit to free trade, and shall permit merchants from either nation travel and trade free from tariff or harassment. Additionally, a stall shall be provided, waiving annual rents, in either signatory’s capital. ARTICLE IV: Mutual Cooperation In light of the troubles which plague the deserts bordering both the Kingdom of Númendil and the Iron Horde, the signatories agree to provide aid to one another in seeking a resolution to the threat posed by the so-called Aquila Company. ARTICLE V: Duration This treaty shall remain in effect for the duration of fifteen years, or until the end of the reign of either Her Royal Majesty, Tar-Caraneth Aryantë, or Rex Kybaal’Akaal, whichever should come first. Upon its expiry, this agreement will be open to renewal or renegotiation. SIGNED, HER ROYAL MAJESTY, Tar-Caraneth Aryantë of the House Arthalionath, by the Grace of GOD, Queen of the Númenedain, Princess of Númenost and Minas Amath, Protector of the Adunians, Master of the Sharadûn, Templar of the Archangel Michael, Knight of the Realm Uruk ir-taar Kybal’Akaal, “The Ram”, Azh-ob Zgur’thruk-al, Piz-ob Leyd, Groth-Uruk, zaabr-ob karn rar-ob Urin, A-Horde 11 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
