Alliance Agreement

This document is the Covenant of Mutual Intent, specifically designed for the Ar’s Station diplomatic archives. Unlike a final treaty, this serves as a formal proposal and framework for an alliance. It uses the structured, bureaucratic tone of the Blue Bench while ensuring the OOC (Out of Character) and IC (In Character) boundaries are clearly defined for the players.

❖ COVENANT OF MUTUAL INTENT & ALLIANCE PROPOSAL ❖

AR’S STATION: THE HIGH COUNCIL CHAMBERS

SCRIBAL NOTICE: This document is a formal proposal for alliance between Ar’s Station and the City of [NAME]. It remains a non-binding framework until such time as a non-modifiable copy is signed by the Administrations of both Home Stones and sealed with the Great Seal of the Scribes.

❖ I. GOALS & DEFINITIONS ❖

THE GOAL: To outline the intentions for a strategic partnership, ensuring the security, prosperity, and high-quality roleplay of both cities.
THE PARTIES: "Ar's Station" and the "Allied City" (The potential partner).

❖ II. ARTICLES of COOPERATION ❖

ARTICLE I: MARTIAL ASSISTANCE Ar’s Station and the Allied City agree to offer the support of their Scarlet Bench (Warrior Caste) in times of conflict. Such assistance is contingent upon the approval of the High Council and shall be decided on a case-by-case basis. Both cities commit to notifying the other of their ability to intervene via an official scroll (notecard) to avoid any conflicts of interest.

ARTICLE II: RECIPROCAL PROTECTION Ar’s Station extends a welcome and the protection of its laws to all legal citizens and kajiri of the Allied City. In exchange, the Allied City provides the same. Visitors must obey the laws of the host city. Each city maintains absolute judicial and civil authority over any person within its gates, regardless of their origin.

ARTICLE III: PLANNING OF THE GREAT STRUGGLE (SL GOR) To ensure fair and high-quality roleplay, both cities agree to consult with the other’s Administration before implementing large-scale events, including planned raids, wars, or major slave captures. Constant communication between the Councils is required to maintain the "Truth of the Home Stone."

ARTICLE IV: JUDICIAL HARMONY Each city acknowledges the sovereignty of the other’s laws. If a citizen of one city breaks the law while visiting the other, both Administrations will cooperate to reach a peaceful resolution. The offender remains bound by the laws of the soil they stand upon.

ARTICLE V: DIPLOMATIC PRESENCE Ar’s Station shall provide space in its welcome area for the Allied City’s signboards (containing photographs, landmarks, and laws). The Allied City agrees to provide reciprocal space for Ar’s Station at their primary point of entry.

ARTICLE VI: THE SEPARATION OF STEEL & SPIRIT (OOC/IC) The Administrators of both cities agree to remain amicable and strictly separate roleplay conflicts from Out-of-Character (OOC) friendships. Communication and trust between leaders are the foundation of this alliance.

ARTICLE VII: GOVERNMENTAL SOVEREIGNTY Each city maintains complete control over its own government, High Council, and local mandates. Neither city shall take military action against the other in the event of a disagreement; instead, they shall seek resolution through diplomatic parley.

ARTICLE VIII: BREACH OF COVENANT Any violation or willful breach of these articles by either party renders this alliance null and void.

Alliance

This document is the Covenant of Combined Home Stones. In the world of Gor, an alliance is more than a trade deal; it is a "Shared Shield." This version adapts your Tyros example into the official bureaucratic and martial language of Ar’s Station, ensuring that the Blue Bench (Scribes) and Scarlet Bench (Warriors) have clear protocols for how to treat allied citizens and slaves.

❖ COVENANT OF COMBINED HOME STONES & MUTUAL DEFENSE ❖

AR’S STATION: THE HIGH COUNCIL CHAMBERS

PREAMBLE: We, the Home Stone of Ar’s Station and the Home Stone of [ALLIED CITY NAME], recognize that the world is harsh and threats to our peace are many. To secure the safety of our borders and the prosperity of our people, we freely offer this knot of friendship. Our hopes rely on one another, founded on elevated truth and the unity of our steel.

📂 SECTION I: THE PROTOCOL OF DEFENSE

MUTUAL AID: If either City is under threat of attack, the other shall mobilize its Scarlet Bench to provide aid and defense in a timely and sufficient manner.
CONFLICTS OF INTEREST: If either City is attacked by a group (Mercenaries, Outlaws, or other Cities) already in alliance with the partner city, the partner city shall remain neutral.
RETREAT WITH HONOR: If allied citizens are present during a raid by a third party with whom they are also allied, they shall be permitted to withdraw immediately. Slaves shall return home; Free Persons may act as mediators or be escorted to the gates with honor intact.
SWORD BROTHERHOOD: Participants from both cities shall act as brothers-in-arms, coordinating all defensive maneuvers under a unified tactical command.

📂 SECTION II: SAFE PASSAGE & OBSERVANCE OF LAW

JURISDICTION: While within an allied city, all persons must abide by local laws. Offenses will be punished as if the visitor were a local citizen, except where specified herein.
PROTECTION: Free Women and slaves may travel safely between the two cities without escorts and shall be protected by the local Guard as if they were members of the home city.
SLAVE PROTOCOLS: Slave laws of each city shall be honored. Slaves are required to read local laws before visiting. Punishment for unruly slaves remains the right of the Owner; however, local authorities may cage or detain a slave for safety, provided the Owner is notified immediately.
STATUS OF FREE WOMEN: No face-stripping or forced collaring of an allied Free Woman shall be attempted. Inappropriate behavior will result in detention until an Official from her home city arrives to escort her back for judgment.
DIGNITY OF FREE MEN: Free Men and Warriors are expected to act with honor. Offensive behavior will result in detention and a formal report (notecard/scroll) delivered to their Home Stone.
RIGHT OF APPEAL: A permanent Appeal Board is established, consisting of the Administrator and Magistrate of both cities. One neutral observer shall be chosen for tie-breaking. Appeals must be filed within two days of a sentence.

📂 SECTION III: COMMERCE & THE GOLD BENCH

I. TERMS OF TRADE: "Free Trade" between Ar’s Station and [ALLIED CITY] shall be fair, honorable, and exempt from standard foreign tariffs.

II. EXCHANGE OF GOODS:

AR'S STATION EXPORTS: [Grains, Verr Wool, Raw Ore, Civil Services, etc.]
[ALLIED CITY] EXPORTS: _____________________________________________

📂 SECTION IV: ADMINISTRATIVE PROVISIONS

SOVEREIGNTY: Each Home Stone retains the absolute right to rule its own territory according to its custom.
BAN LISTS: Cities may share ban lists for security, but they are not mandatory for the partner city to enforce.
SECRETARIAT ACCESS: Citizens may join the administrative communities of the ally to foster better relations, provided no proprietary records or "Scribe Secrets" are copied or removed.
NOTIFICATION OF WAR: It is imperative that all allies be informed immediately if a formal War is declared or a Raid is carried out against any third party.

📂 SECTION V: DURATION & DISSOLUTION

This Covenant remains in effect for six months. It may be renewed by mutual consent or vacated with a written letter of intent and a final meeting of the Appeal Board to discuss the reasons for withdrawal. Breaking this alliance willfully without such process renders all protections null and void, returning the cities to a state of potential hostility.
