Talasi Accords

The Talasi Accords refers to a diplomatic platform used by the vast majority of nations in Talasi to easily communicate with one another.
While it has no official leader or capital, the Talasi Accords are mostly maintained by Kaliné, Azuria, and Kuzina, with the physical capital of the Accords typically being chosen via regular votes for summit hosts. Unlike many other large continental or diplomatic bodies, the Talasi Accords strives to remain neutral-keeping away from any notions of politicla integration or military intervention.
== History ==
Since its founding in April 2024, the Talasi Accords has undergone several distinct periods of change.
=== Founding and early days ===
The Talasi Accords were originally founded by Subvert, the ruler of New Jvar. At a time when diplomacy in much of Abexilas was confused and chaotic as many young tribes and nations attempted to explore the world, he hoped to create an easier way of speaking with his neighbours in Southern Talasi.
However, nations that were further afield began to join as they too wished to converse with Talassian nations without having to search around to try and find official diplomats or representatives in the world. Some of the earliest nations to join were Epitchia, Azrael, Lucredia, and numerous small towns-most of which have either now been absorbed by larger nations, or have been lost to time. One nation which came to be quite influential within the Accords was the Scarlet Cove, lead by Kobi, who eventually acted as the informal host.
The early attendees of the Accords had various ambitions; many hoped to found some sort of internal power hierarchy, and others hoped to host a large continental diplomatic summit. Opinions were split on various topics; many nations supported the Talasi Accords being reformed into a formal military alliance, to preserve the influence of those who held power within it. Others believed it should spread even beyond Talasi, branching out into the world as a major diplomatic union. Some nations simply wished to use it for communication. As the numbers continued to increase, conflict arrived; there were many debates and disagreements over who exactly should be allowed into the accords, and who shouldn't-with some military alliances threatening the Talasi Accords when they were refused entry.
=== Kalinyn reforms and expansion ===
Kaliné joined the Talasi Accords on April 12th, but remained mostly in the background-gathering information and connecting with the nations that surrounded them.
However, Gael Altor, one of Kaliné's rulers, was approached by Kobi of the Scarlet Cove about the prospect of taking control of the Talasi Accords; Kobi was extremely busy with growing the Scarlet Cove, and felt that his devotion to his nation and people left the Talasi Accords on the backburner. After much deliberation with the rest of the Kalinyn Government, Gael accepted on the condition that it be put to a vote. 94% of voters supported Kaliné taking ownership, and thus Kaliné became the new 'host' of the Talasi Accords.
As per the plans laid out by Gael with the support of like-minded nations, the Talasi Accords was radically reformed. Any and all prospect of a political union or military alliance was dropped, in favour of the Accords acting as a simple communications hub. Threats by various military alliances that were denied entry were shrugged off, and diplomatic procedures within the Accords were streamlined. Rules were written regarding both conduct and entry to the Accords, and they became the new standard through which nations could apply.
The Talasi Accords continued to rapidly expand, drawing in more and more nations joined. The Talasi Accords was now seen as the best means of finding and communicating with other Talassian nations, and also contained several cartographers who mapped out the land.
=== First summit and road to wars ===
With the Talasi Accords reformed and much easier to run, and with the various suggestions of political or military integration squashed, the decision was made for the first continental summit to finally be hosted.
The summit's aims were twofold; to paint a 'geopolitical map' of Talasi's major regions, and to allow nations across Talasi to voice their ambitions for the future, or outline their concerns about brewing conflicts. The location of the first Talasi Summit was in Kaliné, and was attended by approximately 130 rulers, representatives, and other dignataries. The Summit covered may topics; Kaliné was keen to allow as many nations to speak as possible, and despite logistical issues resulting from the sheer scale of the summit, dozens of nations took to the stage to converse with-or confront-their neighbours.
While the first summit was a success, many believed that the second Summit-planned to held following the first declaration of war by any nation within Talasi-would likely be much more volatile. As nations geared up for inevitable conflicts ahead, the Talasi Accords continued to grow and prepare for the likely arrival of extremely passionaite warhawks seeking to further their nation's interests on the world stage.
=== The Second Summit ===
On the 28th of September 2023, the Empire of Beepeck with the help of the Accords, hosted the second Talasi Summit in the town of Beepeck. They covered several topics including the Sting War.
=== The Third Summit and New Ownership ===
On a crisp morning of Year 72, Gael quit Stoneworks and gave the Accords to a member of Kaline, Knawal. Several days later, around 6 months after the Second Summit, Knawal held a vote on who would hold the next Summit.
The options were : The Republic of Corry, The Kingdom of Michava and The Kingdom of Brukel. After several days, the results were served to the public. Corry had come in last place with 8% of the vote. Brukel came second with 32% and Michava won in a landslide with 60%. Although Brukel had spent hours working on a hall for the Summit, Michava won with respect. Kobi, Nireish and Knawal along with the rest of the Accords gathered in Michadam to discuss the Summit.
Exactly one week later, the Hall in Michadam was completed and the population of Talasi flooded the hall. Nations such as Staslov, Azuria and Corry got on the stage early and discussed major topics. These included : The War between Bardonia and Staslov, The Great Northern War and disputes between Azuria and Brukel. The Summit peaked at around 100 members and ended after around an hour after covering each quadrant of Talasi.
