Strahnbrad Compromise of 2804

The Strahnbrad Compromise of 2804 A.D. is the arbitrament bringing resolution to the crisis following the failure of the terms of the Treaty of Strahnbrad. The compromise was arbitrated by Alonsus Secundus with Mathlian Lionblood and Kormed Lionblood agreeing on behalf of the Alliance of Arathor and the City-State of Alterac respectively.

History
Following a controversial duel on Alteraci lands between Arathorian and Arathi officials, conflict between the two groups ramped up significantly, eventually leading to a great accumulation of allied forces at Strahnbrad. Great were the numbers of both armies, standing less than a hundred yards from one another and shouting curses to the other.

As a last chance chance at peace, the two parties summoned the Archbishop of Church of the Holy Light and the Council of Bishops, Alonsus Secundus, as a mutually trusted party who would attempt to arbitrate an agreement between the two governments and end the war. The two armies stood, beating their bucklers with their simple weapons as the two governments met in the middle of the field, waiting for the Archbishop.

After the Archbishop's arrival, there was an attempted charge by both armies to clash in the center, where the delegation met. The summit was thereafter moved in-doors.

After inquiry in the nature of the conflict, the Archbishop delivered the arbitrament forthwith.

Arbitrament
The arbiter gave the following terms, to which both governments agreed.

For the benefit of the City State of Alterac
The Alliance of Arathor should pay a trunk full of silver to the City-State of Alterac as weregild for the apparent breach of contract of the borders and the injury taken as a declaration of war as defined by the Treaty of Strahnbrad.

For the benefit of the Alliance of Arathor
The City-State of Alterac should from henceforth allow the Alliance of Arathor military passage through Strahnbrad to their economic and political interests. The same privilege should be granted in likewise to the City-State of Alterac for military passage.

In addition, the City State should profess that the outlawry of the Alliance of Arathor is void.

Further Provisions
All prisoners from either side of the conflict should be released immediately without ransom or charge.

There should be a feast between the two groups to celebrate this grith and frith.

There should be a mutually-agreed line of demarcation between the two government's territory.

Further militant aggressors on one government against the other would be excommunicated by the Church of the Holy Light and can be killed without penalty.
