The Peace of First Watch
The End of the Last War
After the mysterious destruction of Dragonscove, shortened to just "The Incident" in the treaty, leaders of all the major Dragonlander polities sued for a peace council to be held in First Watch, which was seen as relatively neutral ground due to its geographic position in the Dawnlands & its political position as an ex-colony.

That the Disputes with the Giantfolk and their allies and adherents shall be amicably terminated,
That there shall come to be established within twenty moonths time two organizations, supported by local jurisdictions as appropriate, in order to to prevent another Incident [like the one at Dragonscove]:--

Second, a regular Meeting of the Undersigned and any other representatives of legitimately-appointed Politickal Power upon Our Sphere.
