The Weisshaupt Accord

The Creation of the Accord
In the year 9.47 in the Age of the Dragon, on the 6th day of Harvestmere heads of state and representatives from both sides of the war convened. The setting was Weisshaupt Fortress, the Wardens being genuinely neutral in all things, and those in attendance came to be called the Clear Day Council. The Accord was written by the Clear Day Council, who were also the original signatories.

The Clear Day Council

 * Her Holiness, Divine Justina V


 * His Eminence, Just La Guerry, Emperor of Orlais


 * His Grace, Alistair Theirin, King of Ferelden


 * Francois Pufoy, Knight-Vigilant


 * Nuala Elanil, Grand Enchanter

The first meeting of this Council was forced by the heads of state, for the tensions between all sides had arisen to the point where it was felt no one could continue. It is to be noted that there was no representative from the Resolutionist Cause and to the present day no member of this Cause has sought to be a part of the Council.

The Terms of the Accord

 * The Templars were to cease all war operations.


 * The rebel magi were to cease all war operations.


 * The heads of state must accommodate all sides as regular citizens when upon neutral ground.

Reaction, Perception and Ripple Effect
The general reaction to this accord across Thedas was one of relief and joy. The war was at an end (though some were cynical and saw it merely as a ceasefire). The Chantry became more powerful as a result of the Accord. It has the most influence regarding the decision of where further negotiations to review take place and when they are to take place. There was a significant decrease in fighting despite the Resolutionists not recognising the Accord. Tensions did and continue to increase in regions of Thedas where Chantry influence is not as strong and where in the wilderness and places of the continent where there is no government. Many Templars returned to the Chantry, but they still called themselves “Swords of the Maker” and “Shields of the Maker”. Evenso, the returning Templars also returned to their former duties. The Libertarian Order’s influence grew, the communities of mages that they fought to expand was able to grow as well. All as a result of the Accord. It is therefore not surprising that the Libertarians fully support the Accord and seek to strengthen it. Indeed, they are perceived to have benefited the most from this treaty. Those who are the worst off are mostly certainly the Swords and Shields. The Swords are even suspected of resorting to devious and malicious efforts to reignite the war. Their plans for insurrection are rumours, but considering their violent role in the War it is not hard to believe such tales of malcontent.
