The Aegis Accords is an international agreement between several of the nations of Kantas and Joran. It is a joint defence treaty where each nation promises to assist the other in the event of attack. It was signed in Fort Ettin with representatives from all signatories, and witnessed by Queen Sarastra of the Twilight Court. Notably, Sarastra was assassinated during the signing, which cast a pall over the whole affair.
The treaty has stood for several years now and been invoked more than once. Current signatories of the treaty are: the Dawnlands, K'ul Goran and Kundar.

Preparations to hold a short election for someone to fill Lord Kensington's (deceased) seat on the council continue. Candidates to be put forward within the month. - SM & JA leading
Report from GV read out. Planned leasing of AA to KG to build a fortress for 100,000gp has been postponed indefinitely as KG need to focus on civilian reconstruction first.
Key Topic: Building Allies - led by LSU
LSU highlighted that GV's work developing the relationship with KG has been very positive - ultimately resulting in DL adventurers saving the multiverse.
Coll added that they should receive additional recognition for this feat
LSU noted that the nations DH has encountered (KG, Kundar, Vorsthold) are very disparate with little interaction
JA added that this means they trade less with each other, making more financial opportunity for us. SM agreed.
LSU proposed that building stronger relationships - more as allies than just trade opportunities, multilaterally - we would be in a position to turn this region of Kantas & Joran into a strong community to provide more protection to each other. Large threats have already appeared in the 5 years of DH, and more likely will.
LSU proposed a multilateral treaty, tentatively called the Aegis Accords, and a series of diplomatic missions to Kundar, Vorsthold and potentially Aeschira and other smaller groups to aim for all to sign up to help protect each other.
Initial sense: AA, LSU, Coll, CCJ in favour, SM, JA against.
Result: Draft document to be drawn up by LSU - AA to assist. To be reviewed next meeting.
AOB:
Council congratulated Coll on his birthday. There was cake.
