Dear Jackel:

Point of order. All this talk of Treaties and Accords, I want to make
sure that I understand correctly. Harn and LotC withdrew from a Treaty
between the two of them? Or are you using the word "Treaty" inter-
changably with "Accord"? The clarification I desire is whether or not
the Treaty was part of the Accor, or a separate issue entirely.

And I believe the timeline is such that the LotC invasion of Harn territory
in response to the ghazi is _well_ after the Accord was posted as a
done deal. I base this entirely upon looking at postings in the Times
Archives.

If the Harn/LotC border was part of the Accord, both sides seem to have
chosen to discard said Accord.
