THE PACT OF VEKRAFT
Signed on the 21st of Bruce’s Welcome, 1736
The ‘Orcs’ of Vekraft and the Duchy of Morsgrad reaffirm, through devotion and determination in upholding this accord, their purpose of establishing and safeguarding a peaceful and stable realm. With this accord, they seek to promote stability and prosperity, as well as laying the foundation for a strong alliance in the years to come.
The Terms, agreed upon by both signatories, are as followed:
[ I ] : The Parties hereby agree that the cultural practices of either state should not be restricted or threatened by any signatories. Those who sign acknowledge the importance of the historical customs and heritage, promising to do everything within their influence to preserve such concepts when considered under threat by internal or external sources. In addition to such, as the Duchy of Morsgrad were the first contact that the ‘Orcs’ of Vekraft had with Humans, the ‘Orcs’ of Vekraft recognise them as the rulers of the snow lands. In return, the Duchy of Morsgrad recognise the ‘Orcs’ of Vekraft to be the true rulers of the sea by ancient right.
[ II ] : The Parties hereby agree to establish a defensive alliance and aid one another to restore the security, independence and integrity of their respective realms should an armed attack occur.
[ III ] : In the case wherein the far away seas of Vekraft or Mankind of Morsgrad finds it necessary to engage in offensive war, provided the mutual consent of both parties leaders, this pact may ascend into full military alliance for the duration of the conflict.
Those signed beneath pledge their names and respective nations to the terms in unanimity, bound by blood to the oath in which they commit.
