Treaty of Valdin

The Treaty of Valdin was a written agreement established at the end of the Demon Wars that entrusted certain nations to guard the Aard'Vorn. After they were assembled to defeat the demon Abraxas, there were rumors of what sort of cataclysmic event could happen if they were all together, or if one nation had more than one at a time. As such, the Aard'Vorn were distributed to whatever nation had the most cultural history with a specific Aard'Vorn.

It would be considered a breach of the agreement if an Aard'Vorn were to ever cross borders into another nation with one. Even if a nation were to go to others, it would be considered a violation to use the Aard'Vorn as a direct offensive weapon in enemy territory. Likewise, nations were also forbidden from using the Aard'Vorn to aid another nation unless all signatories had a five out of seven approval.

Upon the outbreak of the Leir-Heilinthar War, the Heilinthar Empire breached the contract by bringing the Star Crown into Leir territory when the goddess Luminiferah invaded. When Luminiferah was defeated, the Star Crown fell into Leir's hands, and they were unwilling to return to the Heilinthar for obvious fear of retaliation. A meeting was planned to be reconvened to decide what to do with the Star Crown, but the Leir emperor died before that meeting could take place. With his more aggressive grandson taking over, the Leir Empire began a campaign to secure all the Aard'Vorn for themselves, effectively rendering the treaty null and void.
