The Free Duchy Pact

A document signed by the Grand Knights of Regelle claiming officially independence from the Regellian kingdom, dividing the kingdom into Free Duchies. The document also states that though each duchy is guaranteed free sovereignty and autonomy, each duchy has agreed to protect such freedom. Thus, if a duchy is considered unjustly attacked, it is considered an attack on all. Of course, through the centuries, this pact has lost much of its legitimacy as many problems are internal conflicts and many duchies are justly attacked.
