Rosehold Treaty
The Rosehold Treaty is a military alliance of Erenia, Eldarheen, Vannack and Morilhan opposing the powerful kingdom of Andaria.
The alliance is a mutual defence pact stating that if Andaria attacks or moves to annex any one of the kingdoms, it will be seen as an attack on all and the nations will automatically be at war with Andaria.
This provision is only against Andaria however and does not prevent skirmishes between themselves over ambiguity in territorial claims.
Historical Details
History
4564: Drafted and signed in the city of Rosehold during the War of the Crowns, Eldarheen and Erenia entered into an alliance against Andaria, fearing the large kingdom's seemingly expansionist overtures into the duchy of Acrana. The combined forces seized and held Acrana during the war, proving it's utility.
4547: The Rosehold treaty is revised to include a free trade agreement as part of it's content.
4566: The free trade agreement enticed Vannack into the alliance as Eldarheen's port city of Acrana was vital to Vannack for getting it's goods to market as it had no other access to The Tradesea or The Long Road. The free trade agreement greatly strengthens Vannack's economy allowing an expansion of their standing military forces.
4699: Morilhan enters the alliance due to the perceived massive military buildup on it's border with Andaria during King Arencall's infrastructure project.
4738: The treaty nations support the rebel faction in the Andarian Noble's Rebellion. This decision proves disastrous as Baylight is sacked by the Andarian navy in retaliation for their raid on Fairport and Acrana is sacked the following year, leading to an economic depression for all of the kingdoms save Erenia.
Legacy
This alliance has created a state of cold war with Andaria with the occasional border skirmish.
