Arcturian-Heathen Accord

The Arcturian-Heathen Accord was penned by Kalia Furstek, chief delegate of Arcturia, as a terms of surrender to the Heathen Crusades. The document was a masterful collection of praise and subterfuge, launching Arcturia into a new age of wealth and prosperity. Thus ended the short-lived confrontation between the Church of the Heathen Prophet and the Arcturians.

Historical Details

Public Reaction

The Arcturian delegation celebrated the acceptance of the Accord, as it not only allowed them to continue their way of life but also provided multiple economic improvements through the newfound access to the Portal Exchange as well as the new market for their wares. Worship of the Druid Circle of Life continued among its believers, despite the usual restrictions placed upon conquered territories by the Church of the Heathen Prophet, although religious celebrations were provided names with fewer religious undertones as a precaution.
The Heathen Church eagerly accepted the Accord as a resolution to their hunger problems within the rest of their territory due to the trade embargo levied against them by the city states of the Andisol Valley after a failed campaign from the Heathen Crusaders. The ready access to the fabled Arcturian craftsmanship, especially their leatherworked armors, also caused excitement among the more militant Heathens.
The frequent praises of current Chief Speaker Jakk Malix certainly helped the Accord gain approval within upper Church leadership. This may have also helped to disguise the fact that Arcturia had very little to lose in the signing of the Accord, although the Heathen Church's desperation to resolve their food shortages may have been reason enough to proceed.

Arcturian-Heathen Accord

Agreement on the Peaceful Annexation of Arcturia by the Holy Church of the Heathen Prophet

In recognition of the superiority of the Church of the Heathen Prophet and its Crusaders, the humbled nation of Astoria agrees to annexation as a sovereign territory of the Heathen Church, subject to the following conditions.
To show their undying support to the esteemed leadership of Chief Speaker Jakk Malix of the Heathen Church, the newfound Heathen territory of Arcturia shall:

1. Acknowledge the Heathen Church as sovereign of all Nomura, including all Arcturian territories, and recognize the Heathen Prophet as the one true Prophet.
2. Provide tribute of food farmed within each Arcturian city - Blodwen, Deiniol, Islwyn, Leavara, Lynwen, Myrrdin, Rhydderch, and Smirnyal - to be made available to the Heathen Capital of Red Chapel, and any additional Heathen city as decreed by the Esteemed Chief Speaker Jakk Malix, at a reasonable price.
3. Export Arcturia's famed leatherwork and metalwork products as requested throughout Heathen territory. This shall include equipping the Heathen military, at cost.

In return, to demonstrate their power, prosperity, and goodwill towards the citizens of their newly conquered Arcturian territory, the Church of the Heathen Prophet shall:

1. Use its influence to extend membership in the Portal Exchange to all eight Arcturian cities - Blodwen, Deiniol, Islwyn, Leavara, Lynwen, Myrrdin, Rhydderch, and Smirnyal - thus allowing Arcturia to experience the prosperity of the Heathen Church while also providing faster means to transport the agreed-upon food and artisan work to their new sovereign, Chief Speaker Jakk Malix of the Heathen Church.
2. Recognize the authority of the Arcturian legislature as the local government authority of Arcturia, presiding over its citizens on behalf of Heathen Church. The Church of the Heathen Prophet, in an effort to support a smooth transition for its new subjects, shall furthermore recognize the hereditary monarchy of Arcturia, formerly titled the King or Queen, as the new Regional Speaker of Arcturia, with the position to remain hereditary as is Arcturian tradition.

We, the undersigned, hereby agree to these terms and provisions and agree to respect and implement them.
