Spinesreach-Sciomancers Alliance

The articles of alliance set forth within this document shall provide
equal terms to both that of the three (3) guilds residing in Spinesreach
(Archivist, Sciomancer, Syssin) and the Republic of Spinesreach. None
shall be held to conditions not explicitly stated within this treaty
unless the document should be revised and ratified at another time out
of necessity.

  ------------------------------------
-| Section 1 - Mutual Respect of Laws|----------------------------
 -------------------------------------

All guilds and Spinesreach will respect and uphold the other's laws and
endeavour to prevent their members from breaking them. Neither shall
their members become enemies of the city or guild.

    a. If a member is fined or enemied, the leaders of either
       organization will ensure they pay their fine on time or
       deal with it appropriately.

    b. Leaders of each guild and the Republic may petition for a
       review or trial to refute an enemy status on the enemied
       member's behalf.

    c. At no point in time will any of these offenses, personal or
       otherwise interfere with the business and relations of the
       organizational entities.

    d. The Republic agrees to grant the status of law-protected
       guest to any non-Spirean member of one of the three
       residing guilds inside the city limits of Spinesreach. This
       status may be removed if said guild member acts against
       Spirean interests or breaks Spirean law.

    e. Spinesreach acknowledges that each individual guilds law
       is the absolute authority within the confines of their
       own guildhall property. This includes punishment meted out
       to members or unwanted intruders, within the guildhall
       property.

       i. In times of necessity, this extends outside the
          boundaries of the guildhall, but will require sanction
          from guild leadership, and immediate contact with city
          officials.

    f. Guilds maintain the right to punish members according to
       their individual laws. This includes subjecting members to
       trial, punishment, and even death.

    g. All guilds agree to refuse assistance to enemies of the
       city of Spinesreach committing acts against the city.
    h. For the benefit of the city, information gained by the
       individual guilds regarding matters that can improve the
       city's security, stability, and prosperity as a whole
       should be readily shared in order to promote cooperation.

    i. Guild leaders are to be held accountable for the actions of
       their guilds and consequences thereof. This does not extend
       to the actions of individual members, but only to actions
       permitted by guild leadership

 -----------------------------------------------------------------
-|Section 2- Impact of Enemy Status on Induction to City or Guild|
 -----------------------------------------------------------------

No organization will induct new members holding current enemy status to
any of the residing organizations.

    a. If any inductee attempts to lie or hide enemy status, they
       will be removed immediately when discovered.

    b. Only with a full council vote, may Spinesreach induct an
       enemy to any of the individual guilds. Appeals can be made
       to the Senate by the guildmaster of any residing guild only
       once.

    c. Should a member of the Sciomancer guild become an enemy to
       the city, as some members of the guild reside within the
       confines of Bloodloch, it will not be deemed raiding for
       them to enter the Sciomancer guildhall as long as they do
       not cut through the city to get there.

 -----------------------------------------
-| Section 3 - Property Rights & Security|------------------------
 -----------------------------------------

All guild properties (guildhalls) will remain under absolute authority
of its own, allowing leadership to punish members or intruders
accordingly on their property.

    a. Any trespassers can and will be subject to guild and
       Spirean law. Only if requested or utterly necessary in the
       event of a raid will Spirean government be allowed to enter
       for defensive purposes.

    b. The guilds will never willingly allow the use of their
       property as a base for aggressive attacks on citizens. This
       will result in outguilding of said individual and
       persecution.

    c. Spireans seeking to enter any guildhall to attack their
       members are subject to the targeted guild's law and any
       unprovoked attacks will result in ejection and enemy status
       to Spinesreach for a minimum of five years.

 --------------------------------------------
-| Section 4 - Mutual Protection and Defense|---------------------
 --------------------------------------------

    a. The guilds agree to help protect the security and defend
       the city of Spinesreach and its territories from any kind
       of attack. This would include any act of war, raiding,
       bounties, etc. Furthermore, guilds agree to not use their
       individual guildhalls as a base for aggressive attack on
       citizens of Spinesreach. Spinesreach in return, will
       provide protection to each of the guilds and their
       members residing within its walls.

    b. All organizations will refuse assistance to the other's
       enemies in committing acts against the other.

       i. In the event of a member branded an enemy by one,
          refer to Sections 1(a) and 1(b).

 --------------------------------------------
-| Section 5 - Individual Guild Skill Rights|---------------------
 --------------------------------------------

    a. All Syssin have the right to go about their business in
       Spinesreach while phased.

       i. Exceptions are made for malicious intent and spying or
          infiltrating private property without due reason or
          cause. Such individuals may have their City phasing
          rights retracted.

      ii. In turn, the Syssin will provide security and support to
          the Spirean Warden's office by use of their phasing
          abilities to provide checks if requested.

    b. Given the nature of the Shadow energies used by
       Sciomancers, they will be granted extra leniency should
       experimentation and practice of them lead to unforeseen
       results within the city.

       i. The above does not cover acts intended to bring harm to
          the city or its citizens, and accidental deaths
          resulting from practicing with Shadow energies allows
          the victim to request satisfactory restitution.

    c. Given the nature of the work done by the Archivium they
       will be granted extra leniency should any of their
       experiments lead to unforeseen results within the city
       limits.

       i. The above does not cover malicious forethought or
          reckless endangerment should any of their experiments be
          performed with the express intent of bringing harm to
          the city or its citizens.


 -----------------------------------
-| Section 6 - Guild Representative|------------------------------
 -----------------------------------

    a. Each guild is entitled to name a guild representative for
       the city council. This representative will hold a spot in
       the city's government clan, have an office in the
       Government's Spire and will be a voice on behalf of their
       respective guild.


 ----------------------------------------------------
-| Section 7 - Inclusion in City Events and Benefits|-------------

       to availability.

       i. Guilds may request a larger percentage for bulk
          purchases providing commodity availability and pending a
          majority council vote.

    c. Annually, the Ministry of Culture may request a sum of gold
       and/or credits from the guilds to fund city-run events, to
       be capped at 75 credits and no more than ten percent of an
       individual guild's account value per guild so as not to
       place undue financial stress on guilds with limited income
       and/or activity. If a guild is unable to safely afford the
       sum sought they may approach the Senate for a different way
       to assist.

-| Section 9 - Treaty Alterations|--------------------------------
 ---------------------------------
Any exceptions made to the above noted articles and clauses will have to
be approved by a majority vote of leadership from the opposite
organization. Failure to comply to the above noted
