Red Ring Pact

The Red Ring Pact was a disarmament treaty signed in the year 2512 BOG between the nine great tribes of the Expansionist Age. It was drafted and signed within Petaliro in the Red Ring, a symbolic location as the cradle of civilisation.

The signatories were the nine largest tribes existent at the time. Directly involved in the wars:
 * Beghul (future Bel, Cerdolia)
 * Orsand (future Orsand, Linon, Cerdolia)
 * Maba (future Elraka, Maba, Gatanis)
 * Sola (future Astra, Sonora, Onao, Aora)
 * Orbon (future Ro Orbon, Ro Gtero, Ptrao)
 * Eleco (future Fetri, Elecorogo)
 * Latis (future Coroca Niel, Eregoda Niel)
 * Kedaki (future Kena, Anikora, Mes Keidana)
 * Enmira

Peripheral signatories from Ahid Ere:
 * Eskani (future Niro, Cedan)
 * Hein (future Cin)

Terms of the Pact
The Pact outlined two sets of effects:
 * Immediate: immediate and mandatory disarmament of all tribes involved, mandate against military mobilisation for a period of 50 years, except in self-defence, sectioning of Ecorem into territories
 * Long-term: mandates against the torture and unprovoked murder of civilians, evacuation mandates, and other war tenets.

Outcome and legacy
Most signatories found their hands forced by a fear of the deities, and of a repeat of the events of the Hebis Loricoda. It was piety and fear of the power of the deities, and especially Gaedera, that kept what was otherwise a widely-despised agreement intact.

The peace was tense and saw small crescendos of tension, such as when tribes conducted rearmament in response to suspicions of neighbouring tribes illegally amassing forces. These conflicts were almost always disarmed through diplomacy, facilitated by surrounding tribes intent on keeping the peace, though they had the effect of keeping all parties vigilant.

None of these crises ever reached boiling point, and after the fifty-year grace period, the tribes entered a largely peaceful period of settlement and development known as the Red Ring Peace.

This pact is enshrined in the legal and diplomatic policies of almost all the nations that originated from the tribes.
