[X] [Gov] Some Default Power. The Caermyr Union will have some power over its member states on its own.
[X] [Law] Shared Legal Code. The Caermyr Union member states will use the same legal code, based off of the Arthwyd legal code.
[X] [Religion] Shared Religious Stance. The Caermyr Union member states will have a shared religious stance that all of its religions will adhere to.
[X] [Diplo] Single Foreign Policy. The member states of the Caermyr Union will stand united behind a single foreign policy determined by the Caermyr Union.
[X] [North] Let them join as a confederation. Unite the northern lowlander tribes via diplomatic or military means into a confederation that will join the Caermyr Union as a member state.
The talks came to an end when the Arthwyd Empire pushed for as much integration and unity as possible. The northerners wanted to tie the Caermyr Union together as much as possible and thanks to their talent diplomats, cultural and diplomatic influence and being both a economic and military powerhouse, they got what they wanted.
While it was closer to what the Foresters wanted, both the Forluc Kingdom and the Urthdysh Federation were happy with the outcome. It took the better part of a seasonal cycle, but the representatives from each of the powers were able to hammer out the details of how the Caermyr Union would work.
The religious stance was the first thing to get worked out. While the Boarfolk with the All-Boar would get an exception, all other religions with the Caermyr Union would have to have maintain a stance of tolerance and free choice. While it was based off of the Arthrynite values of equality and understanding, it was not as extensive. It ensured that all religions were against slavery, considered other people as being actual people and advocated for free choice and to not be forced into doing something against your will.
The next part to be decided was the legal code as while it was based off of the Arthwyd legal code, it needed to be adapted for the Caermyr Union and all of its members in the end. In the end, the core of it was kept the same with the references being changed as necessary so it was for all of the Caermyr Union rather than just the Arthwyd Empire and the biggest additions being when it laid out how each the different governments of each member state worked in addition to the Arthwyd's.
Megaproject Upgraded!
Federated Code of Laws (Bronze Age)
A standardised set of laws that all of the Caermyr Union has to follow, these laws are focused on being fair and providing justice to the people of the Caermyr Union.
Effects: Increased Loyalty from Subordinates, Chance for Unrest to not occur,
-Shared: Caermyr Union, Forluc Kingdom, Urthdysh Federation, Colryd Confederation, Arthdysh, Grythwyd, Myrthwyd, Corthwyd.
The final matter was the foreign policy. While the Urthdysh Federation would have liked some independence for each member state to negotiate major deals on their ow, the Arthwyd Empire and the Forluc Kingdom were insistent that there should be a single foreign policy that should be determined by the Caermyr Union and followed by all of its member states.
While member states could still make trade agreements and other minor diplomatic deals as needed, major diplomatic agreements such as going to war, making an alliance or allowing foreign military forces to enter their lands had to be done via the Caermyr Union.
The last matter was the government structure. Not only was the Caermyr Union given some inherent power by its member states, but the it had been given even more power in the form of deciding both foreign policy and the laws of its member states. The end result was a semi-powerful government that the governments of its member states had to answer to.
There was some debate on how to structure this new government, but a conclusion was eventually come to as the Urthdysh queens convinced the Arthwyd Empire and Forluc Kingdom to go along with their idea.
Concerned about resentment from the Urthdysh immortals gaining too much influence and power behind the scenes and the potential problems of succession as the leader of the Caermyr Union would need to get repeatedly replaced over the generations, the Urthdysh advocated for a single leader to represent all the people of the Caermyr Union and to do this.
The government would be set out after the Arthwyd Empire's with an immortal empress to rule the Caermyr Union as a competent and capable leader who wouldn't need to be replaced every couple of generations. The empress would be supported by an Assembly that worked like the Arthwyd one except it was located and would from in Caermyr instead of Greenbay and would allow anyone of sufficient rank and authority from any of the member states to sit in it.
The position of empress was given to Loryn, an Arthrynite priestess who had come from a minor settlement in the Upriver Plains province and had come to a position of prominent during the negotiations. Impressed by her ability to convince others to agree with her and sort out the compromises needed for the Caermyr Union work, the Urthdysh queens felt that Loryn would make a good permanent leader for the Caermyr Union. They felt she has the charm and diplomatic skill to hold the Caermyr Union together long term and keep all members of it happy and willingly part of it.
So in exchange for not resisting the Arthwyd Empire's push for unity and close ties, the Urthdysh Federation was able to convince the Arthwyd Empire and Forluc Kingdom to make Loryn the empress of the Caermyr Union. So she could properly represent all of the people that made up Caermyr Union, they advocated that Loryn should be given the divine blessings that the royal families in the Arthwyd Empire, Forluc Kingdom and the Urthdysh Federation had. This meant giving her the Blood of Evalyn, the Blessing of Nalniryn and the Gift of Urthryn and since she already had the Blessings of Arthryn and Ymarn, Loryn would have all of the divine blessings. It also had the not-so-coincidental benefit of making Loryn immortal and ruling over the Caemyr Union indefinitely.
Despite not wanting the leadership or the immortality, Loryn accepted them anyway out of a sense of duty and took up leadership of the new Caermyr Union, leading it from Caermyr. The City of Rivers and Trade was chosen as the capital of the new Caermyr Union as its location made it an ideal location for representatives of the member states to go to and for the federal government of the Caermyr Union to operate out of.
The Caermyr Union's first major order of business was to deal with the situation of the confederation that some of the northern lowlander tribes were forming. Named after the old kingdom that Sacred Guardian-General Eira once had, the Colryd Confederation had been lobbying to join the forming Caermyr Union. While some advocating for ignoring them and letting the old status quo continue or letting them join, but as part of the Corthwyd, the majority of the representatives decided to let the Colryd Confederation join as an equal. While it was still significantly weaker than any of the other members right now, it had the potential to grow as strong as the Urthdysh Federation or Forluc Kingdom even if it had become clear that it would never be as strong as the Arthwyd Empire.
To help secure the position Colryd Confederation and deal with the question of what would happen with the rest of the lowlander tribes in the north, the Arthwyd Empire moved to get the rest of the northern lowlander tribes to join the new confederation.
The Urthdysh Federation and Forluc Kingdom would have helped their allies, but the former was too far away and the latter was too busy rebuilding the damage it had suffered in the war. Matters were left up to the Arthwyd and they proved to be extremely successful at them.
Many tribes were willingly to listen to the Arthwyd and voluntarily join the Colryd Confederation. While plenty of them weren't eager to join the Colryd Confederation and the Caermyr Union, their leaders realised which way the rocks were falling and combined with the sweet words and bountiful gifts of the Arthwyd, they realised which choice they had to make.
Several tribes still resisted and Seryn Stonearm came down upon them like Evalyn's Wrath itself. The barbarian warriors were unable to resist the Catclaws and Cateyes of the Arthwyd Empire and their tribes were forced into the Colryd Confederation.
It took a few winters for the Colryd Confederation to get its act together, but by the time it had a proper government in place, the Caermyr Union welcomed their fourth member into their ranks.

Okay, the basics. You federated with the Forluc and Urthdysh to form the Caermyr Union. The new federal government is powerful and influential enough to count as its own civ and it now owns Caermyr and the rest of its province as its land.
You can either play as the Arthwyd Empire as a subordinate to the Caermyr Union or you can switch to the federal government of Caermyr Union or one of the other civs within the Caermyr Union.
Since someone requested this info on the discord, the Caermyr Union will be a mixture of the Arthwyd Empire, the Urthdysh Federation and the Forluc Kingdom and in that order of how much it takes from each civ.
The Caermyr Union will have some legacies from each of those civs and all three regional religions. Its values will be Fair Treatment, Sacred Defence (influenced by the Forluc), Community Unity (influenced by the Urthdysh), Queens of Peace, Kings of War (influenced by the Urthdysh & Forluc), Maternal Guardians.
It will be relatively weak to the member states right now, but it will have a lot of soft power and loyal, powerful subordinates.
