Siefor Agreement of 1030

The Siefor Agreement of 1030, known also as 'The Treaty of Rising' is an internationally recognised two-part charter designating legal borders to national territories within Rising, as well as enacting the dissolution of the Kingdom of Rising. The charter was established by Uthūmbe after having defeated Tytila in the Battle of Sol's Triumph, and was designed specifically to designate portions of land that would stimulate the cultural and economic necessities of the different tribes/factions, while facilitating an inter-factional need for co-operation and good will.

#### Dissolution of the 'Kingdom of Rising'

##### Cease-fire instated

After the Beacon was lit and the rioting and chaos had quelled, Uthūmbe walked out from within the inner-dome and proclaimed:

> "The Temple has been completed! The Sun King has lighted the Beacon and united Skor and Ether. A power now courses through this Temple from the same Realm of Light that created Skor itself! Put down your weapons! Sol and Suleyna see you, and will bless those who are honourable. Come and see that the sun heals the good, but the wicked will be burned. Be at peace now."

All of those who had survived had agreed in unison to cease participation in violent acts, and congregated beneath the Temple. Carlus stood beside and watched as the *true* inaugural "Sun King" had ascended. Carlus and Uthūmbe spoke with each other and had begun to discuss what to do first, now that tensions had eased. They were soon met by two representatives, one of the Council of Solbloming, the other of the Bi'idwing peoples, the former, --- Wyburn was the first to speak and had catalogued the inter-ethnic issues that had been plaguing the capital, speaking on behalf of the needs (and demands) of the factions. Among the core and more urgent issues that needed resolving was the management and rearrangment

##### Opitians

The Optians had demanded that a return of Amarus or another independent micro-state was their right, but this was quickly met with rejection. Having been raised in Ælbuscür, Uthūmbe was aware of Opitian history and their purported inclination to conquest and international hostility, as well as their influence on some of the former leaders of Solbloming. After having conferred on the nature of the Optians, it was decided (without their input) that the Opitian people would be expelled to live on Cape Rou, in the Sea of Tabernacles. It was warned to Uthūmbe and Carlus that the abandoned isle had been subject to the "withering effect", in which all plantlife and natural resources had perished, to which Uthūmbe offered his services in blessing the the Temple's waters which had become *"holied"*.

##### Bi'idwings

The Bi'idwings had also requested that they be given independence, and that the Fort Carloc would no longer be sovereign to Solbloming, but instead a 'friend' to it. Though a Bi'idwing himself, this was the first time in over two decades that an Ælbuscüran and a Bi'idwing had met since the Hagenite Conquest of Solbloming. Since Leofric I's death and the introduction of Uthūmbe to the Ælbuscüran people and the relaying of Bi'idwing history by Martin Quitch III, sentiments toward the Bi'idwing and their historic plight had changed dramatically. It was stated with tempered bluntness that the Solrusians did not want the Bi'idwings to reside in Solbloming, and the Bi'idwings concurred. Uthūmbe had decided then that the Bi'idwings were to be relocated to newly-chartered land. Contrary to the initial proposal regarding Fort Carloc, Uthūmbe instead decided that the fort would used as an embassy only, and not a place of residence for the tribespeople.

##### Frennekans

The Frennekans by comparrison to the Opitian people were considered to be a more placid, assimilated presence within the walls and were ultimately deemed not to be a concern. With Wyburn's blessing on the matter, the Frennekans were permitted to stay with citizenship pending per the arrival of a newly formalised nation.

##### Lazvardans

The Lazvardans had suffered the most casualties during Tytila's takeover and the ensuing choas. The port town had become reliant on a Frenneka's imported strength, but after the foreign empire retracted from Lazvard, the remaining Frennekans migrated to Solbloming, leaving the town open to flank attacks from belligerent forces, and mobs. After the inevitable had happened, the Lazvardans were cut down to a mere population of roughly twenty. It was recommended by Wyburn that Solrusians could repopulate the town, and that the town could be permanently absorbed by a reconstituted nation of Solbloming; this was rejected. Uthūmbe instead declared that Lazvard would be returned to its 'Freehold' status, as was once previously. Slavery, previously a point of contention for Ælbuscür was subsequently abolished.
