Treaty of Tar'Thalran

The **Treaty of Tar'Thalran** was signed on Tar'Thalran on January 2nd 448 A.U., ending the Second Coalition War.

## Background

*See also: The Grand Strategy Campaign*
The international summit at Tar'Thalran which ended the Second Coalition War came on the heels of the Second Fialta Imperium's defeat in the Battle of Semal-Marivan. The treaty was signed by the four great powers of Imperial Space (The Serene Duchy of Aeldrum, the Shantine Empire, the Empire of Alusia, and the Second Fialta Imperium) along with the Thalranese Marches.

In addition to the signing of the treaty, the summit was also notable for the assassination of Serene Doge Bareth Aefendt (along with two Thalranese lords) in a suicide bombing by Knights of Adarnum Grand-Mistress Halifax Novascotia.
