Acknowledgement of Monsters Accord
Historical Details
Background
During the cataclysmic war against the The Maelovenari, many monstrous races joined with the fiends because of the promises made for monsters to rule supreme. Because of this, most humanoid species have treated monsters with contempt and fear, driving them off and treating them as an evil other.
History
A goblin tinker from Beorgarde named Lilshta had traveled to Waethern to offer her technological expertise to offer her expertise on reinforcing the city Bandehelm. However, upon arriving she was refused entry to the Daggerbar, and an angry mob murdered her and displayed her corpse atop the city wall. Outraged, a series of raids from neighboring monster tribes burned down the village.
In retaliation, an army from Bantamhelm rushed out and savagely attacked the monster tribes, and massive battles broke out between the multiple sides. However, a contingent of the monsters under the leadership of an Orc named Giometi decided to take a nonviolent tact, approaching many of the other nations to plead for a summit. At this summit, Giometi convinced many of the visitors that the creatures deemed monsters should not be judged by the actions of their ancestors, else all present would be guilty of some crime.
From this summit, the nations agreed to sign a treaty that acknowledged the monstrous races as deserving of rights. However, Waethern and Maervoldra refused to sign. Maervoldra maintains a strict border policy, but Waethern has allowed grudging acceptance of the monster races within its borders only because of the pressure placed on it by its allies.
Legacy
While monsters have been introduced into society, many regions of the world still treat them as second-class citizens. The worst regions to live as a monster are Waethern and Maervoldra because these regions have the least welcoming attitudes to the monsters.
