The Treaty of Bannor and Grigorian Relations
Let all men know, this document is the official statement of Bannor protectorship over the Grigori peoples, and is witnessed by our Glorious and Holy Lord, Junil.
1. The Bannor Empire will use their political power and influence to protect the Grigori peoples from harm. This extends to, but does not necessarily require bartering gold or trade.
2. The Bannor Empire will harbour no hostile ambitions towards the Grigori peoples. We will treat the Grigori as our friends and equals, and will allow them to expand and grow freely, without Bannor interference or obstruction.
3. Should the Grigori be invaded the Bannor will send aid, either in the form of troops, food, gold or any other suitable vector to the Grigori people. Likewise, should the Bannor be threatened, the Grigori should send reinforcements if they are required by the state of Bannor. However the Bannor are not required to send aid when domestic problems occur. This is defined as trouble caused from within the Grigori state, or by unforeseeable natural disasters, or by factions not recognised as an independent state by the Bannor and Grigorian peoples. Similarly the Grigori are not expected to send aid to alleviate domestic issues in the Bannor.
4. The Bannor ministers and officials will offer advise to the Grigori on any matter that they require help in.
5. The Grigori will not foster anti-Bannor-ism amongst their people and will do their upmost to remove the false philosophy that the Bannor are an enemy of the Grigori people. The Bannor will not foster the idea that the Grigori are the servants of the Bannor.
6. The Bannor will not demand, extort or require anything of the Grigori more then the payment already agreed upon.
7. The Grigori will pay the Bannor 8 gold per turn, every turn for their services. The Bannor may choose to postpone a turn's tribute until the following turn, at the appeal of the Grigori, should they wish, but all tribute must be paid at some point.
8. The Grigori may, at any time they believe the Bannor to be faulty in their duties to the treaty, void this treaty, paying the Bannor on that turn any outstanding tribute from previous turns. Similarly, the Bannor may choose to void the treaty should they feel the Grigori are reneging in thier duties.
9.The Grigori may not leave this agreement while payment to the Bannor is still outstanding. The Bannor may not leave the treaty while the Grigori are at risk from foreign powers.

Hum hum...
Seriously, this is just an official, written up version of the agreement that's been in effect for almost 100 years. I don't see what all the fuss is about...
Zombies, skeleton, I wonder what's next *stares at the Luchuirup, then to the Amurites, then to the Sheaim, then to the Kappa, and finally to the 'Als*
(OOC: at least one of them must have a dirty little secret)
Apparently, thomas, that paranioa is justified. I've found that paranioia is almost always justified, and a very good survivial technique as well...
