| The Second Winter |
The Second Winter is a Mutual Defense and Optional Aggression Pact signed between Cerberus and Polaris on April 10, 2017.
Times have changed, but friendships remain the same. Polaris and Cerberus come together in Grub's Palace Courtyard, where the noises of ancient dragons can still be heard thousands of years after their extinction. Bradley stepped forward with his entourage, as did Grub. They looked at each other, then looked at the crowd.
"Today is a special day, for all of us." Grub said.
"Indeed it is, today we make the written pledge to stand by one another, no matter the cost" Bradley said, and went on to add "Verin, read our agreement, the Treaty of the Second Winter"
Verin steps forward, takes a deep breath, and begins to read the agreement.
Article 1: Call to Arms
Should either Cerberus or Polaris come under fire, both sides agree to join forces to combat the attacker.
Article 2: Non-Aggression
Both Cerberus and Polaris agree to not provoke one another and to not endeavor on any military campaigns against each other. Should there be any incidents, both signatories agree to resolve these privately.
Article 3: Intellectual Updates
Both alliances agree to communicate regularly on matters of alliance security. Should either side receive information that could be detrimental to the security and integrity of the other, they are to be notified immediately.
Article 4: Optional Aggression
Both alliances are entitled to ask for assistance in an aggressive campaign, but both alliances possess the right to refuse.
Article 5: Termination Protocol
Should either alliance desire to terminate the agreement for any reason, both agree to inform the other privately 72 hours prior to making a public announcement.
