📜 The Stelhaven (Kalgered) Accord

Date Ratified: 983 BAC
Location: Kalgered Assembly Dome, Global Forum of Stelhaven

🌐 Overview

The Stelhaven Accord—also known as the Kalgered Convention—stands as the earliest comprehensive planetary treaty within the history of Asthortera. It was the first global charter to bind the civilizations of the planet under a shared legal and ethical framework, aiming to prevent continental conflicts and enable cooperative sentient development.

📘 Founding Principles

  1. Global Legal Recognition
    All sovereign nations shall be recognized under a unified legal codex that affirms territorial integrity, basic rights of sentient life, and governance autonomy.

  2. International Military Limitation Clause
    Militaries may not operate outside of national boundaries unless:
    a. Under a mutual defense pact
    b. Approved by the Global Defense Tribunal
    c. In declared global emergencies ratified by the Accord Council

  3. Trade Unity & Tariff Reduction
    Member nations agree to reduce artificial trade barriers and align on standardized resource classifications to accelerate economic interoperability.

  4. Diplomatic Immunity Charter
    Diplomats of all nations, regardless of ideology, shall be protected under a neutral immunity clause to ensure continuous dialogue during crises.

  5. Judicial Synergy
    A special intercontinental court (Global Harmonization Bench) is established to resolve cross-border disputes with binding rulings recognized by all signatories.

  6. Cultural Non-Interference Act
    Member states agree not to forcibly alter, erase, or rewrite the cultural identities of other nations or peoples.

🕊️ Legacy

The Stelhaven Accord laid the legal groundwork for modern diplomatic stability in Asthortera. While challenged during the Reltronland-Depcutland tensions, the core articles remained intact and continued to serve as a reference for treaties like:

  • The Troncut Treaty (1010 BAC)
  • The Interplanetary Transit Accord (1008 BAC)
  • The Treaty of Virelyn (71 AC)

Even in the age of interstellar expansion, the Stelhaven Accord remains the philosophical ancestor of Asthortera's sentient-rights doctrine.
