Freedom Pact

A Freedom Pact is a guarantee from The Holy Empire of the Dawn to protect a city-state or smaller nation-state from foreign aggressors in exchange for favourable trade, and the freedom to march and garrison her troops throughout their territory.

The Freedom Pacts were concocted by diplomats of The Holy Empire of the Dawn to forge stronger relations with the city-states of The Rested Coast Confederacy and those other notable city-states in the north. The Rested Coast Confederacy only recently signed their Freedom Pact, in the Month of the King, 484LZ. In particular, Greypeak has been long protected by one such Freedom Pact, since 468LZ.

The Port of Narmway is currently being worked on, diplomats working day and night to convince her leaders to sign a Freedom Pact. Though the city is already heavily influenced by the church of Sarenrae, it remains independent because of its geographical position, and strong neutrality.

Ellav Pass is also a target for the Holy Empire of the Dawn's diplmats, but little progress has been made as its inhabitants feel they are protected by ancient magics put down centuries ago by the Elves that once inhabited the city.
