Arathon Alliance

Region History
The region of Arathon sits in the portion of Faelar originally occupied by a nation of the same name. The kingdom was destroyed, however, when the royal family became so corrupt that they were overthrown by the country’s own nobility. In justification of their actions, the nobles created a republic instead. The reformation, however, left the country fractured in five successor nations.

These five nations are as follows:


 * Adinerra
 * Delmaran
 * The Republic of Lython
 * The Kingdom of Shathorn
 * The Grand Duchy of Vilinor

The Formation of the Alliance
These five nations struggled for land and power in their region until the Empire of Khoria and Kessan began to encroach on them. United by the fear of the two great empires which grew unbounded, the Republic of Lython proposed they ratify an agreement which would strengthen them all.

The agreement was as follows:


 * A council would be formed with members from each nation in the Alliance in order to discuss and decide on disputes between the members of the Alliance.
 * All borders within the Arathon region would be set, and any disputes on where the borders lie would be discussed in the Alliance Council.
 * The members of the Alliance would not attack or otherwise do harm to one another without just cause, which was approved by a majority vote of the Alliance Council.
 * All trade agreements between the nations in the Alliance must be submitted for open record with the Alliance Council.
 * If any of the members of the Alliance were to fall under attack, the other members of the Alliance would provide military and financial aid to the attacked member.
 * The Alliance Council has the right to negotiate region-wide treaties with nations outside the Alliance, which will be ratified by each member-nation individually before being set into law across the full region.

This was the base of the Arathon Alliance, which mostly stands intact today.
