Sinking back in his chair with a quiet groan Kordion glances to the papers on his desk. For months now he had been working on drafting, refining and even at times re-drafting a mutual defense treaty to gather the orders of the alliance together. It was finally in a draft he was satisfied with sending out and had done just that to quite a few orders with many more oh the list. So far the majority seemed in favor of the idea at least in practice, some had ideas of how to better the document even which essentially was the point of getting a rough draft out there.

--

The most recent had came from Timeus, a Gnomish mage of the Pillar of honor. He spoke of the gnomes and their plight which had regrettably led to their status as the jokes of the alliance. In essence he was right and it put Kord's mind to thinking. The gnomes were not the only ones treated as such despite being the most prevalent victims, as a whole even when they allied together the different races had a tendency of looking down upon each other even if they might not realize it.

Timeus and Erelyn went on speaking for some time of the old alliance treaties and others after Kord made the suggestion that Tim draft up a clause to alleviate his concerns with the caveat that it needed to be broad enough to include all races. For his part...the rogue let his mind drift thinking back over the treaty itself and what still needed to be done.

Shifting a bit to ease his aching ribs Kord snagged a copy of the treaty and his quill absently setting to making new copies, it had changed quite a bit from the first draft and still had a ways to go...but anything worth its salt was worth working on.

Recent times have seen the increase in horde activity against the Alliance and its members, perhaps most pointedly from the members of the Modas il Toralar. While we all may work towards similar goals in deed — if not in name — in the end, we work towards them as single units within a whole. The following is a rough draft of a proposal to meld our forces together while still maintaining autonomy and thus presenting a unified front to those who would seek to bring harm to the alliance.

The undersigned agree to extend to their members a request for aide dependent on current circumstances. Any who answer the call will be bound to assist until such time as the conflict is resolved to the best of its ability or they are unable to continue their assistance in any form.

Each organization who agrees to sign into this document will be accorded one representative to speak in the interests of those who choose to volunteer with the full voice and authority of their order ¹. Each voice shall be accorded a weight based upon the number of members answering the call to aide.²

Beyond the voices of the orders a chairman will be chosen to be impartial in all things and shall be accorded a vote only should the need arise in the event of a tie. The chairman shall be accorded all rights and duties given a voice.

As a living document the treaty can be changed via addenda. To have an addenda added the sponsoring party must call a vote of all orders signed on and get a passing vote of ¾ majority to be determined by the number of orders signed. For this matter and this matter only orders shall be held to one vote no matter the numbers present. Any voices who abstain from voting shall have their membership stricken from the record in the matter of tallying votes for the current matter until such time as a pass or fail is reached. A matter can only be brought up a total of three times by any one voice should it fail.

On matters of legal concern: Within the lands of the Alliance each race holds its own sovereign territories and any crimes committed within their boundaries shall be turned over to the appropriate authorities to be dealt with as the law allows. Members will be bound to render assistance should it be asked of them to the best of their ability.

Caveat: Should any who willingly sign into this bring harm or bring cause of harm upon any other signatories all assistance shall be null and void until reparations are made to be agreed upon by both parties with discretion going to a natural third party in the event no accord can be reached.³

In the understanding that things change as do people every organization shall be given the choice to withdraw their signature at the quarter year mark from the date they sign and each quarter year after. Should the full day pass with no motion to do so the chance shall be forfeit until the next opportunity rolls around. Emergencies shall be handled on a case by case basis and are to be brought to the Chairman to be considered for a temporary succession or permanent removal from the treaty. Should an order choose to withdraw willingly and without emergency situations a period of one week must pass to be eligible to resign and one month before being returned to full stature.

As penned by the hand of Kordrion of Terra Incognita

¹ Voices shall be chosen by the members of their order as someone of rank or the leader of the order before signing the document.

² Weights will be calculated as such: One to five volunteers equals one vote in regards to the current operation; Six to Ten equals two votes and so on in increments of five and shall be dependent upon the numbers present not total.

³ Transgressors will be accorded no aid until such time as the harm has been rectified to the best of their ability but shall still be held to the aid they have volunteered.

Sighing quietly he leaned back rubbing his eyes and sat the quill aside. His recent injuries made even writing exhausting but it kept his mind off of the ever present ache of abused muscles and bones. Turning to the other papers at his desk he frowned and picked up another, a list of the orders they were attempting to reach out to. It was by no means complete and he wasn't sure if it would ever be but at least it was a start.

Chewing his lip a moment the rogue turned gathering a clean sheet of paper. So much to do and so little time to do it…perhaps he could turn the forced idleness into a boon yet.

(So, little ooc on this! I've been working on this project quite literally for a few months now on Kord and finally decided to bring it out of the dark as it were. If anyone has any thoughts, ideas or anything please feel free to contact me in game about it with the understanding that unless you have spoken to me about it icly we're discussing it oocly. Also if there are any orders I forgot and would like to be included please let us know! (by us I mean most anyone in Terra Incognita)
