The Archduchy of the Town of Troll's Bane
Posted: Tue Feb 10, 2009 7:53 am
GUIDE TO TROLLS BANE
Many citizens and new visitors have been asking questions recently, mostly regarding what merchants trade within our town, the locations of various merchants and buildings, the owners of property, and the stance Trollsbane has with other towns. So I will compile a useful gathering of information, which will be added to and edited as I go, to answer many of these questions for you.
ECONOMY
Since the benevolent administration has every intention to make its citizens prosper, the city has decided upon a policy where it makes purchases from the citizens in order to allow the tax money to be in the direct benefit of the citizens. The equipments will be then either used for the projects of the city, or sold to other citizens or nobles at subsided prices. The transactions will be handled by the Trollsbane Procurement Office, headed by the Chancellor.

It comes a time to re-orchestrate the deal previously made with the group known as the Grovestriders. Most of the ideals and customs of the contract below mirror that of the old agreement made under Lord Cromwell's rule.
Pay will not change. Mercenaries deemed "First Rate" will continue to be given 20 silver coins monthly if they are employed. The "Second rate" troops will be continue to be paid half that sum. The status of "Most Preferred Employer" will still stand, meaning that while the Grovestriders are allowed to take other jobs, these cannot interfere with their duties that are issued from Trolls Bane.
Grovestrider troops will only be authorized by leading officials in the Grovestriders, the current Archduchess (Joxia Doral), Captain of the Guard (Julius Rothman), and Chancellor (Verdazar Ivinius). The Archduke or someone who is given the duty pays the group a large lump sum monthly, beginning on the first of Adras, to be distributed among the active members. Any keys, equipment, or other items bestowed upon their members are to be given back at the termination of this Contract.
The Grovestrider's focus is mainly on aiding the Town Guard in the protection of the town, though any number of duties within reason will be given unto them if deemed necessary.
Both parties signify agreement and are bond by their signatures below.

The Peace Treaty between the Archduchy of Trollsbane and the Kingdom of Silverbrand
This treaty is written in order to end the conflict between the Sovereign nations of Trollsbane and Silverbrand, as well as to settle any past or present grievances and to ensure a peaceful future coexistence. The Treaty is binding for both nations.
Paragraphs of the Treaty:
§1 - Peace
This Peace Treaty brings the hostilities between Silverbrand and Trollsbane to an immediate end. Both Nations pledge to cease attacks, provocations and hostile behavior towards each other. The causes for the conflict are forgotten and forgiven, as both nations begin to strive for a peaceful coexistence and cooperation. No criminal charges or punishments are pursued against individuals of either settlement for actions relating to the war. Lord of Midlands averts Silverbrand for the duration of one year, starting on 10th of Adras 27.
§2 - Tavern
As a compensation for the declaration of war, Silverbrand yields the control of the Tavern which previously was the sovereign territory of Silverbrand and hands it over to Trollsbane. Hence forthwith, the Tavern and the connected premises become the property of Trollsbane for all intents and purposes and fall under the Trollsbane law. Furthermore Silverbrand delivers 500 stone bricks and 500 wooden boards for the repair of the tavern and one gold coin to buy new furniture and keys. One of the tavern rooms is chosen for Silverbrand's use to serve as their diplomatic office.
§3 - Borders
The two Nations also make the use of this negotiation opportunity to settle all past border disagreements between Silverbrand and Trollsbane, for the sake of a more peaceful future. Thus, it is agreed from this moment on that the North-South road to the west from Silverbrand serves as the divider between the neutral buffer zone and the Territory of Trollsbane. The road itself and everything east of it until the lands of Silverbrand are considered neutral, while all land to the west from the edge of the road belong to Trollsbane. A map of the border adjustment is attached to the Treaty. ((PICTURE))
Epilogue
After the treaty has been signed, both parties pledge to try and forget any past grudges or grievances and focus preserving the newly founded friendship and peace between the two Nations. Even though both Rulers understand that the process of repairing the damaged relationship shall not be an easy one, they agree that the normalization of relationships is the best way of achieving this as soon as possible. Thus, after the Treaty is signed, the two Sovereign Nations shall begin negotiating over a Trade Agreement.
May the future of both Nations be more prosperous and peaceful.
