Treaty of Greyhawk
The Treaty of Greyhawk (also known as the Pact of Greyhawk) is the peace treaty which ended the Greyhawk Wars. The Greyhawk Wars take their name from this treaty.
Background
The conflict was engendered by Iuz in 582 CY, when he posed as Vatun, planting the seeds of war with the Thillonrian tribes.[1]
The peace conference where the accord was signed is known as the "Great Council". It lasted six months.[2] There is some minor difference in when it was signed. Some sources say it was convened in Harvester 584 CY and signed six months later[2] (making it Coldeven 585 CY), and others say it was signed in Harvester 584,[3][2][4] which would mean it was convened in Coldeven 584 CY. In either regard, Coldeven and Harvester are the significant dates.
Because Narwell and Safeton were independent cities, they sign pacts of association with Greyhawk,[5] about the same time as the convening of the Great Council. This meant that when the Treaty was ratified, they were protected under the same provisions as Greyhawk.
In a surprising point, Ivid V signed the Pact of Greyhawk.[6]
Aftermath
The year following the signing of the Pact of Greyhawk is known as the Year of Peace, though this is something of a slight misnomer.[7][8] There was "peace" in that there was no longer continent-wide wars, but there was still some strife, skirmishes, and though a much-reduced level of hostilities.
One of the points stipulated in the Treaty is that Nyrond had to give up the lands surrounding Millenium, though the Nyrondese forces there were permitted to quit the lands safely.[9]
Borders
Though many borders were clarified or established by the Treaty of Greyhawk,[10] such was not the case with the Vesve Forest. There were no clear borders defined for it.[11] However, a border between the Empire of Iuz and Furyondy was created, and both nations "licked terrible wounds across a newly formed border and miles of physical and emotional devastation."[12] Furyond, though, continued to work against Iuz, seeking to "deal a telling blow" against him, heedless of the Pact.[12] "The Yeomanry signed the truce only after the border between it and the Sea Princes was clearly defined."[13]
