EXPIRED - The Wings of Freedom: A Mutual Defense Agreement between PROM and WSX
The Prometheus Alliance and the Duchy of Wessex are desirous of maintaining their sovereign independence and, in consequence of the recent political developments, the freedom to retain their neutrality without fear of threat or intimidation by outside parties to take a side in any conflict. This agreement, drawn up by His Excellency, the Right Reverend Prelate Malachi Drake, the Lord Bishop of Wessex, reflects this common aim and the scope of this agreement is limited to achieving this goal.
