This includes, but is not limited to: immediate threats, be it through acts of violence, cultural belligerence, insurgence, or dissent. Caurósian soldiers who act in violation of Nevaehli authority are subject to strict reprimand from the Ivory Crown. 

 

VIII. Diplomacy

In the event of disputes or schisms, the signatories agree to pursue peaceful diplomatic means of resolution. Furthermore, the signatories may reconvene if desired to elevate, omit, or edit the terms of this pact at the approval of both parties. 

 

IX. Duration

This accord shall be in effect for a duration of 10 years. In the event either sovereign signatory passes, abdicates, or becomes infirmed, this treaty is considered void until terms are renegotiated.

Sonna smiled warmly as she gazed into the fire they had just sat around, excited for the friendship that was beginning to blossom!

"Thank you, Sonna." A templar thanked her good nation leader! At least, her home was safe. . . This time around.
