Halley Peace Accord

General

• The Halley Peace Accord was signed in March 2005 (268 AC).
• Formally declares a state of peace between all of the involved cities for the first time (Though none have actively been in conflict with one another in hundreds of years, since The War).

• Recognized as a great move forward for all five governing bodies involved:
  • Allerdun
  • Brauenbourg
  • Harbin
  • Perplex City
  • Xia-Hifa

• Inside the city, some fear the peace accord will lead to strife.
  • The city has been a self sufficient body for many many years, and it is feared this will open relations too far, and rock the boat too much.
  • Logically, however, most will agree opening foreign relations should be a good thing.
• The Perplex City Council is planning a series of seminars to enable Perplex City residents to better adjust to the idea of outsiders visiting the fair city.
• In general, enhanced commerce is expected to be the greatest asset the treaty brings.
