References

Historians refer to this as "Uto Daeg's Folly" as it provoke Jour instead of quelling him. Too many books and treatises were written about this event to name.

Legal status

The document is valid to all members of Enor Daeg, Sefir Daeg, and Belor Daeg that agreed to the treaty.

Historical Details

Background

Following Jour's complete capture of the Hezhz region of Belor Daeg, Sefir Daeg called upon Enor Daeg for support. At the time, the Enor and Sefir were seas apart, and no formal and efficient method of communication was established between them. Each selected a council of leaders to discuess possible solutions. They thought that Jour was content for now, but both wanted to avoid an all-out conflict against him. They both formed a council and drafted the Treaty of Taz'mattan, also called the Treaty of Jour by the people.

History

Jour, a cloud giant necromancer, had risen from the Montaines in central Belor Daeg. He conquered his fellow cloud giants, and even a few storm giant strongholds. He descended from the mountains to an unsuspecting populace. Then, only a few large countries existed in Belor Daeg. Given his necromantic methods, Jour easily defeated opposition. Within two years he completely unified the whole continent and much of the Belor Ocean's smaller islands. The remaining continents held a conclave and began talks of drafting a treaty.

Public Reaction

Most of the world did not know of Jour at this time, and those who did thought the stories were simple exaggerations. As such, no one outside of country leaders believed a treaty or any formal document necessary.

Legacy

The treaty is seen now as a colossal failure. Many scholars even believe the treaty fed Jour's ever-growing ego or provoked his ire. Either way, within months of receiving and signing the treaty he broke it and invaded Gold Coast, Samba Ka, and modern day Riverlands.

Term

The document specified immediate termination of armies indefinitely.
