Though a testament to the strength of the bonds between our Domains is found in the fact that they have persisted past the dissolution of formal alliance, it has come time that a new treaty be agreed upon to reinforce these bonds.

ARTICLE I: AUTONOMY AND ALLEGIANCE

I. The Unified Domain of Vortice recognizes the autonomous rulership of The Shiredom of Dúnwen, and recognises them as an independent, allied state.
II. The Shiredom of Dúnwen recognizes the autonomous rulership of The Unified Domain of Vortice, and recognises them as an independent, allied state.

III. Both parties agree to fair trade, of both bulk supplies and artisanal items.
IV. Minas are not necessary to trade.

 

ARTICLE III: NON-AGGRESSION

I. Aggressive action, intentional harm and overly anti-social behaviour between the persons of either domain will not be tolerated. This will be resolved individually when possible, and diplomatically where not.
II. In the event of a major breach by a governing figure of either domain, and said figure refuses diplomatic resolution, the right to reasonable protest is permitted, in order to make aware the need for further resolution.
