Having read the extremely simple treaty between Parrius and Springdale, I

would make the following ruling in Proteus' absence:

There is no state of war at present since the regency is a peaceful period

and the surrender specifically began the armistice which has not been

ended. I checked the 'feelings' of Parrius and found no WAR had been

declared on Springdale. Therefore the action Prophets vs Mystics to

to this point do not break the treaty: Mercinae is at peace under regency,

Parrius is at peace. It isn't for the treaty to cover every action that

might possibly affect some future warfare.

Orielle cites a THEFT by Springdale within Parrius and evidence to

support this contention. This evidence can be presented since the treaty

is very clear on the subject of theft between the two cities and if

Parrius can show the treaty has been breached by a Springdalian robbery

of Parrian property by a non-Thief then there will be little doubt the

treaty can be judged BROKEN.
