Convention of Tsofnhafen
The Convention of Tsofnhafen, signed 12.XI.1685 AN, was the instrument of unconditional surrender by which the Royalist and Revolutionary forces in West Amokolia capitulated in the face of a multinational armed intervention of members of the Raspur Pact, coordinated through Benacia Command and led by Elwynn. The capitulation installed a military government run by the Elwynnese Union Defence Force and provided full authority for the Commission for the Integration of Amokolia to reorganise the conquered territory as it deemed appropriate.
With the signing of the military capitulation, and the execution of Erik Thorne, being concluded. The next task was for the commissioners to determine the fate of the civil administration of West Amokolia, which had now passed under Martial Law. Representatives of the former Royal Government, having been brought into proceedings as the body of the executed commander of the Amokolian Highlanders was dragged away, attempted to insist that the instrument of surrender had only covered the military authorities. To this the allied commissioners appointed by Benacia Command that, under Elwynnese law, the Commission for the Integration of Amokolia was already the sole lawful government and that their duty, as representatives of the defeated party, was to manage the transition into the new order in a calm, orderly and dignified manner.
