Zilyana Agreement

Purpose

Under the Zilyana Agreement, Elven Settlements may retain power of their region under their traditional governing councils, but must not depart from specific guidelines imposed by the Crown. They may also have an Elven leader, or Arch Councilor over them instead of a Duke from the Royal Bloodline. The reason for this is due to the remote locations of the Elven Settlements, their proud history and culture, and the assistance they provided King Marxus Tevarial during the 16 Year War.

Historical Details

History

During the Traxius Alliance, the Elven Settlements were not content with the Treaty of Traxius created the "New Lands Concordat" for protection during this time of expansion. Records suggest this move was in response to the destruction of the Elven town of Valily and the lack of response from the Traxius Alliance. Under the leadership Zilyana Karootah, the remaining Elven towns created an active Army and Navy to safeguard from further attack.

On the 6th of Arbus, 16 ToA, King Marxus Tevarial Uall, the leader of Kesserfell, departed from the Traxius Alliance and set out to form the Great Kingdom of the Fray. Led by Zilyana Karootah, the Elven Settlements joined the side of the Great Kingdom of the Fray.

On King Marxus Tevarial Uall's coronation, Zilyana Karootah presented him with his agreement, which later took her name.
