The Joint Authority for Peace in Central Lenvai and the Outer Territories.
@thearchmagosreturns i thought you might find this interesting
The Joint Authority was established in the mid 140s ACC as a means to facilitate the end of the Eskathish Civil War. It is not an alliance, but rather its intention was to be a peacekeeping force and a mediator between the Empire and the rebels of Bysynth. It originated with the Terronosian intervention in the port city of Helneth, which had been a fierce battleground in the war.
The JA led the negotiations that led to the signing of the peace treaty, establishing Bysynth as a sovereign state and exempting the empire from reparations and responsibility for wrongdoings. It also established a large demilitarized zone between the two states, as well as a smaller one at Port Tucksen. These zones are officially governed by the JA, and are monitored by peacekeeping forces from several nations.
The JA has been subject to high controversy.
Officially a neutral entity, it is heavily dominated by the Terronosian government. Some outright accuse it of being a puppet of Terronosia. Additionally, all overseas territories of Eskathion, none of which were ever contested in the war, were brought under JA authority. Many of them later came under direct Terronosian occupation. This infuriated the Eskathish government, especially when the JA was intended to be a temporary entity but has made no initiative to begin the handover of its occupied territories.
The international community has been silent on the matter, largely due to Terronosia's high importance in the TCA. Eskathion has openly voiced its dissatisfaction with the JA, and some fear this anger may drive them to forge closer relations with Ivranse.
