Caladin Concord
The Caladin Concord, named after General Caladin and drafted in the renamed Tower of Caladin, marked the uniting of the kingdoms in the Candala Continent after their temporary defeat of the Ancient Enemy.
Purpose
The document that was used to create the Candala Union. Though each country still has control of their internal laws and policies, as their cultures and geography varied widely, the Union put in place some rules such as open borders, a limit on trade tax and a combined military for the protection of the entirety of the Union in case of another event like the Sunderings or an incursion of the border countries.
Historical Details
Background
The signing of the Caladin Concord celebrated their successful survival of the Third Sundering by working together and marked the uniting of the nation into the Candala Union. They spent a couple of years making informal discussions and a half-year formally writing and editing it, it being signed 4 years exactly after the Ancient Enemy was forced back.
History
Despite some of the tense relations preceding the Third Sundering, the fighting of the Ancient Enemy by working together and the late realisation of the reality of this new world made them realise they needed to be united more closely in case he managed to return. The Tower that housed their united armies to protect the entire Candala was renamed in peacetime after the General Caladin who kept them inspired. The Concord was similarly named after him.
Public Reaction
Though there was some uncertainty the majority of people in the countries involved were excited for the opportunities and safety the Concord and Union promised.
Legacy
In the present, Candala has enjoyed unrivalled economic and food stability due to its easy trading and open borders. New technologies and techniques spread fairly quickly through the large landmasses and permanent immigration is fairly easy. The majority of citizens are more than happy with the current circumstances.
