Stormark-Herder Treaty Deliberations

Elders are traditionally assigned a tent, or a place where they can counsel on the various matters of the nation. Here one can find the Teachers, the Wise, the Magicians, the Warriors, and the Traders.

Stormark-Herder Treaty Deliberations

Post by Orion »

A new tent is erected by the Magician of the Tribes, and the High Priestess of Stormark is invited to sit at its fire.

This tent is for the Magician and High Priestess alone, to discuss the needs of the Reindeer Herders and Ostfolders of Stormark, so that the needs of both peoples are adequately met, and that our two peoples may interact with each other in mutual benefit.

Points we wish to discuss are:
- Spheres of influence
- Possible expansion of the Ostfold
- Grazing and migratory rights
- Freedom of passage for peoples on both sides
- Protection of mutual interests

Her High Holiness gracefully accepts the invitation by the Magician of the Tribes and elegantly seats herself by the tent's fire.

A High Priestess wishes to convey her thanks to the Magician of the Tribes for his hospitality and also that she is in agreement with the list of to-be-discussed issues he put forward.

Her High Holiness enjoy the warmth an cozy atmosphere inside the tent which are caused by the fire. It makes her think about her days serving at a Sami tribe during her time as a Sacred Voyage Lady, the fourth stage in the process of becoming a Vanic Priestess, which brings back quite some good memories.

A High Priestess wonders what the Magician of the Tribes would think about including Natopia in the treaty talks to make the treaty a regional peninsular treaty?

That is an excellent thought, and we will invite them to attend before beginning.

I'm personally very excited in seeing greater peninsular cooperation and was very glad to see our Storish friends move in! The Bovic Church maintains Elijah's Rest as a shrine and pilgrimage destination, so regional stability and security is of paramount importance to us. We have been very blessed with the success of the Restful Reindeer Pact and can only see good things from a new treaty including Stormark.

We are also pleased that it is our good friend Ikaros who is representing Natopia at these discussions.

I will begin by addressing the most obvious question: Does Stormark have any plans to expand the Ostfold, and if so, where would they prefer to expand?

For the part of the Herders, we have no immediate plans to expand south, but in the future, as population growth demands, there may come a time when that need becomes paramount. At present our herds are migrated south during the cold winter months so that they can feed on the open grasslands. If Stormark has plans to expand north, we only ask that we be given enough room to expand our main borders slightly, and that we be allowed to continue grazing our herds (even should that extend into Storish territory). If the High Priestess finds it appropriate, we would be willing to delineate borders for any planned expansion now, so as to avoid dispute of claims later on - the same of course applies for Natopia.

A High Priestess wishes to convey that in honour of High Queen Hervör the Einherja, who was exuberantly fond of the Duchy of Østfold, the Imperial Storish Government should like to expand the aforesaid Storish Biland in all four cardinal directions of the wind.

Her High Holiness fully understands and has taken those considerations into account.

The Yfirstormarksgythia and High Priestess of the Thingeyri Temple is in agreement with the Chief Atka.

Her High Holiness does find the Chief Atka's proposal to draw the future territorial boundaries betwixt the Reindeer Herders, Østfold and Elijah's Rest appropriate and hereby provides him with a map on which he can delineate the borders aforesaid.

The aforementioned map already includes the Duchy of Østfold's expansions towards the Orient and the Occident as well as in meridional direction. It also contains a tiny proposed extension of Østfold's boreal borders.

The Lady Ambassador is of the mind that the remainder of the lands which are situated between the negotiating peninsular parties should be divided up in a intermutually satisfactory manner which also safeguards the livelihoods of the herders.

Well, that does cut in to a good part of our southern grazing lands. So if Stormark has no objections, we would like to retain grazing rights as far south as Galvo.

I'd also like to see what our Natopian friends have in mind for expanding Eliajah's Rest before we offer a map ourselves. Their situation is far more compressed, so they will be allowed to define their needs before we do.

We will note that the Herders extend a sphere of influence over Atherstone Island with intents to fully colonize the island in the near future.

A High Priestess wishes to convey that the Imperial Storish Government is fine with the Reindeer Herders having grazing rights within the borders of the Duchy of Østfold northerly of the Galvø-Storesund line.

Her High Holiness has duly noted that and advises the Chief Atka that the Imperial Government of the Realm of Joy shall respect such sphere of influence.

The people of Elijah's Rest prefer to remain in our little town so we would cede all grazing and movement rights to the Reindeer Herders.

High Priestess - We are very glad to hear that you have been officially proclaimed as Ambassador to our humble nation, and we gratefully accept the letter of credence as affirmation of your qualifications (not that we needed any :wink: ).

Sir Ikaros - We thank you for submitting to us the proposed expansion of Elijah's Rest, and we welcome your people into these lands. I will draft a treaty whereby we can promulgate the sharing of these lands between our mutual peoples.

After much consideration, we have developed a map which outlines what is most likely to be the maximum extent of land claims for the Herders. This includes the Three Horns and Atherstone. If either Stormark or Natopia have any objection to these planned claims, we are willing to modify the boundaries, as they have not officially been set at this time.

We're very pleased that we are all in agreement on these claims and shall draft a treaty shortly to confirm these discussions. By doing so we hope to ensure the free movement of people and goods between these lands so that people may enjoy both those freedoms and the benefits of an improved economy.
