Treaty of Ylsalon

The Treaty of Ylsalon marked the end of the Succession Wars in A.I. 429 and is often celebrated as one of the greatest diplomatic achievements of history. It was the result of years long diplomatic effort by Queen Calarel I of Londar, who tried to restore a semblance of the peace Aegeron once enjoyed under the Imperium.

Although most realms of the continent signed their own treaties as early as A.I. 421, but several factions were unwilling to end their destructive conflicts even though there was little hope of ever achieving victory. The most notable of such "unresolvable" conflicts were: After intense negotiation (and quite a bit of arm-twisting) Queen Calarel managed to find compromises to resolve these disputes (e.g. the division of Alikar, independence of Dwarrowdale, the Silkstone Pact to deter dominion expansion). Finally, the peace treaty was signed by representatives of all of the Younger Realms, ushering in half a century of peace in Aegeron.
 * The race war between the dwarves of Cascadia and the humans of Dwarrowdale where human mobs lynched thousands of dwarves or forced them into exile, while dwarf forces used artillery to completely level several cities on the surfaces, along with their human population.
 * The civil war over the historical Alikar Kingdom between its restorers and the Benduzi Sultanate that has been going on without pause for three decades.
 * The continued attacks of the Red Army of the Reaton Republic against its neighbors and their support for revolutionaries abroad.
 * The continued expansion of the Dwarven Dominion into human and elf lands, which had no hope to oppose the combined might of the dwarven kingdoms.
 * Although the construction of the Demonfence had finished, but the realms not on its borders refused to commit troops to guarding it, claiming that they have to protect their own borders..

Major stipulations of the Treaty

 * The de facto borders of the signatories will become the de jure part of their kingdoms, all signatories agree to give up all territorial claims on the others.
 * Disagreements between sovereigns are to be resolved at the Court of Ylsalon, arbitrated by the other signatories who are considered to be independent by both sides.
 * The signatories agree to abide a code of honorable conduct, that prohibits the use of incredibly dangerous and destructive weapons like raising armies of the dead, opening portals to the demons of the Abyss, casting Edicts of the Old Imperium etc.
 * The signatories all agree that royal blood is sacred and vow to never shed it except in battle (this means no assassinations, captured royalty can not be executed etc.)
