Following several days of negotiation throughout the region, a proclamation is made, distributed alongside the Charter below.
In the wake of the calamities of the region, the uncertainties of Altera as a whole, and in the hopes of producing a more prosperous
and serene life for all those in the region, several holdings surrounding the City of Eldpoint, including Verdant Valley, Eisenheim,
Keg's Hearth, and the Temple of Knowledge have seen it fit to unite under one banner in common cause.
This new union, joined in partnership with the Scholars of Candlewood, is governed by a Charter signed by all the lords of this

A bright future lay ahead, and we will all succeed in achieving it.
