This link will take you to the MO Political map where you can see who owns each territory. Keep this in mind when you look over the following agreements.

Mutual Defence Agreement:

The Wings of Freedom agreement is there to help ensure our neutrality and independence in the current conflict. Until such time that the defence agreement is provoked we will operate under the terms of our NDA Agreement with Prometheus.

In a nut shell, this means that we retain our neutrality and independence and nothing will change for us on a day to day basis. Only if we are attacked or provoked will our position change.

Non-aggression pacts

Written
Treaty of Moh Ki: [LGSN]
Treaty of the Promethean Keep: [CIR], [SyVi], [RUS], [OL], [PRO] and [PROM] and [TOG] out of respect.
Forsaken Disclosure and Agreement of Neutrality: [FOR]

Verbal
Aegis Imperium: [AI]
The Audacian Republic: [AR]

Limited Neutrality

I am calling forth a Hunting Party to increase the flow of coin into the Duke’s coffers to aid in the development of Wessexshire. The hunt will take place on the 22nd of August and all resources and gold that are gathered will be collected by a member of the Ducal Court.

All Subjects of His Grace are asked, in keeping with their oath of fealty, to attend the Hunting Party for as long as they are able. The Hunt will begin at 1600 GMT+1 and will be called to end when the ‘game’ runs scarce.

May the Radiant Lord Soldeus guide us in our efforts, and shine brightly upon us all.

His Excellency, the Right Reverend Malachi Drake, Bishop of Wessex, to all children of Soldeus sends greeting.

To the children of Soldeus we must be a merciful, virtuous
and stalwart guardian. To our enemies we must be a relentless,
fierce, and indomitable harbinger of retribution.


As a military order, The Order of Saint Lucian has been founded with crusading as the key goal. This is to propagate and/or defend the faith of the Church both in our realm and in the lands of our enemies. The principal feature of a military order is the combination of military and religious ways of life.

The Order of St. Lucian forms the military arm of the Church and by joining the order you can expect to be part of an active and aggressive player versus player and player versus environment organization. A crusade will be waged across the lands.

The order will carry out any mission that is given to it and by the Church of Soldeus and will also stand alongside the garrison in training and in defending the Duchy. In return members of the Order are granted the protection of the Church.

If you have any questions or would like to join then please post a reply.

May Soldeus illuminate your path. ]]> The Town Gates Malachi Drake http://duchyofwessex.org/forum/showthread.php?8603-Announcing-The-Order-of-St.-Lucian
