With the signing of this treaty, the Princedom of Cauróst and the Holy Pontifical States, henceforth referred to as “the signatories,” do agree to the terms and conditions laid forth.

 

Article I. Sovereignty

The signatories shall recognize the other’s sole authority over their sovereign states. This acknowledgement grants each their right to rule their cities, vassals, and territories according to their laws and customs free of foreign influence.

 

Article II. Non-Aggression
The signatories agree to a pact of non-aggression, including but not limited to open military conflict, skirmishes, and government-sanctioned patrols, and a mutual peace between their realms. At any sign of conflict within Aevos that might include the signatories’ allies, the two signatories shall convene to ensure peace remains between the signatories’ realms.
 

Article III. Extradition
The signatories pledge to assist the other in cases of extradition at a given request as it pertains to criminals convicted of the signatories’ documented laws, as well as known and wanted figures or practitioners of the dark.

 

Article IV. Trade

The signatories shall provide a tax-exempt stall in their marketplace for a representative of their citizenry to trade their goods freely. If a stall is unavailable, one shall be built at the cost of the host's treasury.
 

Article V. Diplomacy

The signatories agree to reconvene if desired to elevate or edit the terms of this pact. This includes, but is not limited to, treaties of defense, alliance, or further trade. Furthermore, in incidents of internal schisms or disputes between the respective sovereigns, the signatories shall pursue peaceful, diplomatic means of resolution.
 

Article VI. Duration

This treaty will be effective immediately upon signing and will remain valid for a duration of ten years. At the end of this decade, both parties will meet again to renegotiate these terms. In the event that a sovereign of the signatories passes, becomes infirm, or is vassalized, both parties must meet for an emergency summit to renegotiate these terms, lest the treaty is considered null.

 

Signed,

Galahad Ilumrin

High Prince of the Princedom of Cauróst 

 

The Most Righteous, His Eminence, Enrique Cardinal Du Loc-Altamirano Piñieda, Vice-Premier and Provisional Marshall-General of the Pontifical States, Commandant of the Pontifical Guard, and Lector of Owyn.

Amou, a Homunculus, looked on in intrigue at the new Pacts and NAPs that are being brought to his desk by squanderers needing a piece of mina or birds. . He looked on at this one, a brow being raised:

"I don't think I have a letter saying Caurost has made a Pact with the Orcs, the same people who gave them the lands in the first place. . . Maybe the Hordespeaker should. ."

The homunculus thought, before shaking his head. . 

"Not my business. . Politics are fun only when I can manipulate them. . ."

Amou hummed as he continued reading.
