Yes. Atually it should be "treaty" and "Accord". The Yellowleaf Accord is
the name of the treaty.

My understanding was that a Harn/LotC boarder and non-agression pact was
part of the original treaty. But both were unwilling to agree to the
conditions and so it was dropped. Harn dropped from the treaty altogether.
The treaty did establish a boarder between the IC and the LotC. This is a
critical issue to me because they land which they split up was formerly
Eagle territory and was lost as the result of an agressive action by PLATO
(possibly supported by the IC). Eagle's involvement in the treaty was to
assure that the territory was divided equitably and that the IC made no
gains as a result of agression. In my opinion if the IC attempts to use
force against the former Eagle territory our objectives prior to the
Yellowleaf Accord once again become valid. This is, of course, only my
opinion and in no way representative of the Eagle Alliance as a whole at
this time.

Let me know if you are interested in any further clarification.
