http://www.kagaherkproductions.com/marker.gif Editorial, October 23
After several months of meeting, talking and quarreling — mainly to get the biggest part of the cake — the long expected peace treaty was finally signed, by no less than eight of twelve heads of state of the East Continent. Undoubtedly, this agreement will lead to a completely reshaped political and diplomatical landscape.
Not everyone in Domus sounds that positive, however. Questions arise about what will happen with Caligus' unique identity, certainly after the four months foreseen in the final treaty's text will have ended. A few troop leaders announced their intentions to sail for new horizons. I wish them the very best, and hope our paths will cross once more later.
Nevertheless, Caligus isn't silently killed by this agreement. Instead of honourably dying or starving in Domus while being faced by three enemies at our gates at once — remember Yssaria hasn't won one significant battle on their own — we now have view and grip on a definite future. A future that is pleasant for our people. A future in which Caligus will keep a voice and a role in East Continent. A future in the middle of the occurings. A future in which you're not quite ready with us yet. http://www.kagaherkproductions.com/end.gif
- — Editorial note
As of today the Caligan Courier has a new editor. Baldric Fortescue will take care of the newspaper, to hopefully let it regain it's leading position on the East Continent again. To be expected in the following weeks: the latest and hottest news from Caligus and beyond, editorials, interviews and much, much more.

- The peace treaty in detail:
- Any region hereafter mentioned, shall not have any of its structures willfully destroyed by the possessor at the time of the signing of the treaty.
- Perdan releases control of Partora, Mullhouse, and Meuse to Caligus.
- Caligus surrenders the regions of Scio, Domus and Aestus to Yssaria.
- Caligus cedes Nascot and all claims therein to Perdan.
- Perdan surrenders the regions of Beziers and Lorient to Ibladesh.
- Fontan releases administrative control of Bescanon to Perdan for the sum of 2,000 golds, net after moneychanger fees, to be paid in 150 gold weekly installments, 100 of which will count towards the 2000 gold paid as reparations for the administrative overhead incurred by Fontan during Fontan's time in control of the region, 50 gold to be paid for being granted control of Bescanon until such time as the 2000 golds have been paid. Failure to abide by the weekly schedule will be a violation of the treaty. Perdan may elect to pay weeks going forward to avoid interruptions of the payment schedule, and thus avoid violation of the treaty terms.
- Perdan shall not raise any fortifications, or other structures in the region of Bescanon, and shall limit its military presence there to no more than 4,000 CS total (mobile plus militia) troops. Fontan shall likewise not raise any fortifications in the region of Troyes, and shall limit its military presence there to no more than 4,000 CS total (mobile plus militia) troops. Three infractions no greater than 5,000 CS shall be allowed to both parties for the duration of the treaty, all other failures will constitute a violation of the treaty. Also Perdan will not allow enemies of Fontan or Sirion to travel through Bescanon to attack either of them in the north and no enemies of Perdan will be allowed to use Troyes to attack Perdan in the south.
- The signatories agree to raise relations to peace, allied or federated at their own discretion, but to no lower than peace.
- The signatories shall not attempt to influence or infiltrate any of the other signatories through their normal political apparatus, or by supporting any rebellions, or other political movements outside of their boarders.
- If any member of the Southern Federation or Northern Alliance declares war on the Kingdoms of Caligus or Perdan for any reason, or should Caligus or Perdan declare war on any member of the Southern Federation or the Northern Alliance, they will be in violation of the treaty and subject to penalty under section ten. War shall include infiltrator actions that would seriously wound a noble, or otherwise cause harm to a region, and providing military aid to another realm for the purposes of supporting a war.
- All signatories will be honor bound to declare war on any realm in violation of the treaty.
- This treaty shall remain in force for four months from the date of signing, or until sections 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 have been fulfilled, whichever is longer. It can be modified only by unanimous decision of the Signatory Powers, or renewed between any of the signatories, one amongst the other, for any length of time as they so deem appropriate.
- Zranis and Katia will have their bans lefted by Perdan and Caligus. In return Sirion will left 2 troop leaders from Perdan and Caligus of their rulers choice.
