The First Compact of Caurost, 647 A.A

[Nectorist 12869]

 

The First Compact of Caurost,

647 A.A

In the interests of the toleration of the customs and faiths of those Imperial subjects that, while removed from the Word of God, still conduct themselves in a manner most virtuous, aligned with common principles of decent character, derived firstly from the teachings to be found within the Holy Scrolls, a compact has been made between the Holy Mother Church and the states of Norland and Caurost. The eyes of the Faithful turn towards our enemies without, those enthropic forces that seek domination of the living, thus requiring a broad alliance between those of dignity. 

 

ARTICLE I 

 

The Holy Mother Church shall respect the free practice and expression of the Red Faith within the lawful borders of Norland, as well as private worship within the lands of the Faithful. In turn, the Church, while permitted the right of proselytization, shall establish no regular ministries save those which service the Faithful present within Norland, to be left undisturbed by the local authorities. The Red Priests of Norland shall make no efforts of their own to convert the Faithful or preach within the lands of the Faithful

 

ARTICLE II  

 

The Kingdom of Norland shall aid the Holy Mother Church in its crusade against the armies of Iblees, defined as the Black Church and the Black Sepulchre. All soldiers from Norland are to be exempted from the requirements of tithe, conversion, and sacrament to the Lord.
 

ARTICLE III

 

The Holy Mother Church and the Kingdom of Norland shall cooperate on all matters pertaining to the defense of the living against the armies of Iblees, denying no logistical or martial assistance, pledging to the free and open share of information, and cooperating on all strategic planning.
