D'Hara/Oaths/Treaties/Common Exile Treaty

PREAMBLE

In full knowledge that Dwilight is a continent unlike any other at this time, that local politics are unique in themselves, and that the endless waves of the ambitious threaten the very foundation of the established orders, the signataries of this treaty agree that some parts of society are inevitably common to all higher civilizations, and that those who put themselves above the established order will show an endless pattern of such behaviour, forever to repeat their acts in their ever changing homes. By convention, the powers signing this treaty have decided to take a proactive stance on the issue, and engage to refuse one's troublemaker as their own, so as to send a strong message on the way things are to be, to current and future generations, as well as those who have already erred.

Article 1

This treaty is retroactive. Once a troublemaker, always a troublemaker.

Article 2

The friend of your friend is not necessarily your friend. Should not all parties mutually agree to sign this treaty in all possible ways, an exile will only be considered an exile by those who have directly signed this treaty between the original banning realm and the host realm. Clarification: If realm A, B, and C all sign to eachother, but B and C also sign this treaty with D, an exile X from A can make his home in realm D without repercussion, and vice-versa. It is assumed that realms will only sign such a treaty with a realm who is inclined in a similar ideology, therefore assuring that the scum of one is indeed the scum of the other.

Article 3

Only banishments for acts against a ruling government or against the realm in general can be exported. The banishment of high-level political exiles, such as royals or overthrown rulers (of a respected amount of time in office), are however up to the rulers of the potential host realm.

Article 4

Religions are treated as per article 3. Banishments on basis of faith do no transfer over, however, banishments due to religiously-inspired acts against the ruling government does. Special sub-amendments may be written between specific realms regarding this article to modify the treatment of priests and other followers, and how the rest of the treaty affects them.
