Accord
The text of the Treaty is as follows:
In times past, there has been discord and disharmony between the Clans. Many have allowed the rifts to expand and grow. Many are guilty of fostering even more animosity between two Clans as third parties. And this internal strife has allowed outside forces to wage war and defeat the disunited Clans. So then it is in the spirit of one day hoping to ensure that further outside incursions result in such crushing defeats of our enemies that The Guardian of Arcona, Overlord of Dajorra, Lord High Justice of The Doctrine, Consul of Arcona, Master Mejas Doto, di Primus Tenebrous Arconae, and The Prince of Yridia, Grand Chamberlain of Tarentum, Consul of Tarentum, Master Sith Bloodfyre, Baron, Tarentae; underwritten by The Honorable, Exarch Sashar Kodiak Erinos; The Honorable, Admiral of the Navy, Battlelord Kessian Armus; witnessed and negotiated by The Honorable, Marshal of the Armies of Tarentum, Marquis of Yridia II, Adept Maxamillian von Oberst-Tarentae, do willingly and willfully agree to the mutual and grand advancement of Clans Arcona and Tarentum by concurrence of the issues attendant.
