Paix sans Fin

 Paix sans Fin 

The 'Paix sans Fin' or else referred to the 'Neverending peace' in common, was a plan divised by King Alexandros Numerius to cement a strong alliance between the Arkadian and Dragan Kingdoms.

Causation

For many decades, there have been uneasy relations between the Arkadian and Dragan Kingdoms. However, with the returning of the Wythower Empire, Arkadia quickly changed archenemies, and froze tensions with Draga. This lead to a policy of ignorance with rulers like Ferdinand III. However, this policy was abandoned when Alexandros unified the Wythower Empire in the beginning of his rule.

Now, it was as if the Arkadians woke up, and realized that an angry neighbour was on their doorstep. The diplomatic process that ensued, was, as expected, very troublesome. The Dragan Administration, under King Adrian, was still aspiring to regain lost land. The combination of these various factors eventually resulted in the Dragan Crisis.

Development of the Idea

In 1231 AAW, when King Adrian met Queen Lariona at the Mountains of Karagal, the crisis had officially come to an end. Uniting against a common enemy, darkness, the two kingdoms formed a defensive alliance. This change of heart and direction that the two nations were faring in was a spark of hope for the royal administration and Alexandros himself.

He well realized that poor management of relations after fighting the darkness could result in a detoriation of everything that had been accomplished so far, and this was something that had to be avoided at all costs. And then, with a blessing in disguise, Adrian urgently needed a wife, or else the Draga dynasty would die out.

Alexandros saw this as the perfect opportunity to fully cement Arkadian-Dragan relations, and sent out three of the most 'fitted' noblewomen to Draga. When presenting the idea to his nobility and aristocracy, the response was enthusiastic.

Abrupt Failure

However, due to Adrian's death in the Dragan-Lomal Duel of Honour, this plan and ideal automatically failed at it's purpose. With no clear heir, and (to the Arkadians) an unknown man taking control, all hopes established with ' Paix sans Fin'  had vanished.
