Boreal Defence and Security Agreement

The Boreal Defence and Security Agreement is a mutual defence pact signed on 13.IX.1731 AN between the Benacian Union and the Kingdom of Normark. It commits both nations to maintaining the Humanist ideology and political system within their realms as well as continued adherence to the Raspur Pact.

The agreement has its roots in the close military cooperation between the Benacian Union and Normark during the Wars of the Dispossessed and the entrenched ideological bond of Humanist governance in both states. With the rising threat of revanchism by the Confederacy of the Dispossessed across northern Keltia following the Fall of Calbion, and the ongoing Shiro-Benacian Cold War, the agreement formalises a mutual defence arrangement that goes beyond the provisions of the Raspur Pact to guarantee mutual support in the event of any preemptive action undertaken by either party.
