The Accord

The Stability Accord was signed in 488 NSD by Vetranis Voyendra and Gern Rilin in the Imperial capital of Sovistar. The Accord was put in place to maintain a war-free affiliation between the two superpowers. On the 4th Anniversary of the Accord, in 866 NSD, politicians from both governments raised concerns over the waning strength of the Accord.
Both powers had been spending the past few centuries bolstering their economic power and enforcing their military strength, solely in preparation for a war. The primary justification for the Accord was the fact that both powers hosted incredibly weak economies, and a war would result in a mutual collapse. That has changed now, and the threat of war looms ever present despite the terms of the Accord.
