Voted best in category in the Users' Choice awards.
This doc gonna be scrutinized by, dozens to hundreds of people, in every nation that is participating in this whole thing.

And most of those people would not give much of a damn about Ranald. The ones that would are likely to have the lowest intrigue.

I'm not overly invested in this, I have not really liked Ranald as much since the arguments that got thrown around in the Faith vs Knowledge debate, but he did help and I feel deserves some kind of recognition. If people don't want to I'm not overly fussed, I'll just leave the vote in there.
 
If we get a full waystone map of the world from the elves, I have this funny thought of Lustria just being empty with "Don't worry about it" written on it in big blocky letters
 
[X] Yes
-[X] Find a way to subtly honor Ranald and Halétha in the final copy of the Accords.
I do think the current accords are pretty much fine. EDIT: and yeah sure let's give a nod to Ranald and Halétha

[X] No
-[X] A clause pushing for some commitment between signatories to maintain participation in a forum where waystone information can be shared.
-[X] A clause dealing with the potential addition of new signatories.

However, there are a few additions I think could be useful. I'm going to take the 'specify problems as vaguely as you want' part of the voting instructions to heart and be super vague, just throwing out two general issues I'm concerned about without getting into the actual details.

[X] No
-[X] Contrive a way to subtly spell out W.A.Y.S.T.O.N.E in the Accords just for fun.
 
[X] No
-[X] Specify why:
--[X] Add another clause, inserted before the currently final Clause 8:
--[X] A Clause pushing for some commitment between signatories to maintain participation in a forum where waystone information can be shared. The commitment doesn't have to be as in-depth as the current Waystone Project, but it should basically act as a backstop to make it easier to create a "Waystone Project 2.0" if the need arises once again some centuries down the line, and reduce the chances of the project falling apart if Mathilde gets killed in the near future. Having a diplomatic line open should reduce the chances of hostilities between parties, too.
--[X] Have the clauses be denoted with Classical numbering, such that the final Clause is denoted with an "IX".
 
[X] No
-[X] Clause 6 should be ammended to include the following statement: "The Library of Kron-Azril-Ungol shall serve as the primary archives for this knowledge, to preserve the understanding of waystones against time and destruction. We will not repeat the mistakes of our forebears, who allowed this knowledge to slip from their fingers."
-[X] Two Additional clauses should be added before the final clause:
--[X] The Signatories are encouraged to send representatives to sit on a multinational Waystone Council. This council will be lead by a Chairperson elected by those representatives, with a term length to be determined by the council. The primary charter of the council will be to monitor and observe the network in all domains belonging to the Signatories, the research and development of waystones, the recording and preservation of all lore relating to waystones, and to advise the Signatories on all matters relating to waystones.
--[X] The Waystone Council will be hosted in the nation its Chair represents, and they may request appropriate facilities from their host to conduct their work.
-[X] The clauses shall be numbered with classical numerals, with the final clause, naming the patron gods of the Accords, being numbered with an "X", to subtly honour Ranald.

Short version: Clause 6 now includes using KAU as the main archives for the waystone project. The new clause 8 creates a council that basically does the same thing the waystone project already does, just formalised with an actual leader and defined rights and responsibilities. The new clause 9 is a carrot that defines which nation hosts the project, and gets them actively involved in supporting the council. Clause "X" is the sneaky Ranald clause.
