Congress of Chryse/1712 Session

Background

In keeping with the precedent set by the 1708 Session, the Imperial and Emirati Bank of the Sathrati Islands and the Imperial & Emirati Bank of Alalehzamin and Constancia were nominated as guarantors of the peace that would prevail in Chryse during the Congress.

Participants at the congress were obliged to surrender hostages and pay the fees required for blood indemnity bonds into escrow accounts, refundable only on condition that no murder or mayhem transpire during the congress. Zollinger Kirchner was hired to act as go-between and intermediary, negotiating fees and collecting nominated hostages for delivery to Tirlar where they would be placed under the protective custody of the guarantor banks for the duration of the congress.
