+ | article= In a surprising turn of events, the realm of Caerwyn declared its desire to break its federation with the realm of Astrum due to the treaty of the Brotherhood of Astrocracies. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The Brotherhood is a union of the theocracies of the Church of Sanguis Astroism. Currently, it is composed of the realms of Morek Empire, Corsanctum, and Astrum. The exact copy of the treaty signed by the three realms is thus: | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | ''Morek, Astrum and Corsanctum, being theocracies of Sanguis Astroism, solemnly swear: '' | ||
+ | |||
+ | ''to aid each other in battle, each and every time an enemy appears; '' | ||
+ | |||
+ | ''to support each other, over and above any other contract they may have signed; '' | ||
+ | |||
+ | ''to uphold each other against pagan forces; '' | ||
+ | |||
+ | ''and to forever remain friends.'' | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | Evidently this means that, in the even of a war against one of the Astrocractic realms, all others are bound to support that one realm against "pagan realms" (read: realms which do not hold Sanguis Astroism as a primary religion). This concerned Caerwyn that their federation with Astrum will be put aside in favor of Astrum's union with the Astrocracies. As such, Archon Baal Zephon Beldragos of Caerwyn decided to nullify its former relations with Astrum. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Almost immediately semantics were called upon as messages were exchanged between the leaders. Astrum accused Caerwyn of having a hidden agenda, and stated that it has only ever been a friend and good neighbor. Caerwyn, on the other hand, declared that Astrum effectively made their federation void by signing an overlapping treaty, and that the said treaty named all pagan realms as enemies. Caerwyn is a "pagan realm", as it does not have Sanguis Astroism as its state religion. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The cause for war against Averoth also came into question. The Astrocracies maintained that since Averoth defended Storms Keep when their armies came to attack it, Averoth effectively declared war. Thulsoma and Averoth, however, say that it was a mere act of an ally defending an ally, and that the true reason for the war in the peninsula was not so much a religious campaign than an expansionist propaganda by the hegemony. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The Great Northern War may not be as over as people may think - on the contrary, it may just spread as more and more realms are alerted by the conflict. Asylon in the west and even the Republic of Madina in the far south have also expressed concern over the seemingly endless greed of the Church of Sanguis Astroism. Again, dear readers - time will tell. | ||
