The Concorde

The Concorde is the voluntary peace treaty that was agreed to by the six nations of Calorum to end the devastating Ravening War. Under The Concorde, all six nations agreed to be ruled by a Concordant Emperor, an elective representative from one of the six nations. While each nation individually rules its domain with relative autonomy, all six nations bow to the power of The Concorde and the Concordant Emperor for the sake of maintaining peace on the continent.

As mandated by the Concord, the Concordant Emperor resides in the capital city of Comida and is politically bound by the laws created by the Concord. Unlike the various nations of Calorum whose leaders are determined by family lines or conquered land, the first Concordant Emperor was collectively selected to serve. Eligible successors include the leaders of the six nations, to be chosen by the current Emperor and named heir before their passing. This method of delegating leadership, combined with the fact that the treaty is a voluntary measure, is the cause of uneasiness and conflict within the continent.
