As the...."author" of the Yellowleaf Peace Accord, I thought it would be wise
for me to chime in here. Captain Arr is incorrect in his assumption that,
per treaty, Azrain would remain an open city.
During the negotiations between Inner Circle, New Empire and LotC (of which I
oversaw) the idea of making Azrain an open city was forwarded. As were
suggestions that Gayforth, Elantir, Cano and Yellowleaf be designated open.
It was decided by the involved parties that the Accord should not attempt to
dictate to the rulers in the region how to run their cities, instead, the
Accord merely specified a border and declared who owned the above cities. The
only stipulation placed on the region was that no castles could be built
within 3 provinces of Yellowleaf.
This all refers to the Yellowleaf Peace Accord. I don't know if Captain Arr
is referring to another treaty that is unknown to me.
I have included the pertainent portions of the Accord below. A copy of the
treaty, as presented to all of Olympia, is available in the archived copy of
the Olympia Times, issue # 52, available at the pbm web site.
I hope this helps explain the situation.
