treaty

Written by: Sarapis, the Logos
Date: Monday, December 20th, 1999
Addressed to: Claryssa the Lily of Peace


I believe that your interpretation of the treaty is incorrect. There is nothing in the treaty that prevents Tylin from declaring personal war on the Church. This is not mentioned at all in the treaty and thus, cannot be a breaking of the explicitly spelled out terms of the treaty.

On the other hand, the treaty quite clearly says, and I quote, "There shall be no convocations without agreement of the subject of the convocation." This statement does not apply merely to signatories of the treaty (and in any case, Tylin is a citizen of a signatory city), but to all people. It says, quite clearly, _no convocations without agreement of the subject of the convocation_. One could make the argument that Tylin implicitly agreed to be convoked when he declared personal war, but that would be, in My opinion, a facile argument, as Tylin certainly, and no doubt forcefully, would state his emphatic disapproval of the convocation ability ever being used on him. I feel that I can say this with complete confidence in the fact that Tylin would agree with me, insofar as I have stated his feelings on the subject of being convoked.


Penned by my hand on the 5th of Lupar, in the year 236 AF.
