Treaty between Elwynn and Senya

The Treaty between the Elwynnese Union and the Democratic Environmental Society of Senya was signed and ratified in 1598 AN (2013). It was in full effect only for two years before the Shirerithian take-over of Elwynn. Despite this, Elwynn and Senya remained friends, with preferential visas for Elwynnese residents of Shireroth visiting Senya. Upon Elwynn's restoration of independence in 1672, Elwynn declared the treaty to remain valid. In 1681, Elwynn and Senya began talks to modernise the treaty for the conditions of the present century.
