Twilight,
Given the strife this document has created in the lands, there should be little doubt that you and you alone functioned as mediator and Divine Advisor in its negotiations.
However, I find it interesting that your "post script' to the most recent treaty (Public Post #3267) was issued on Lupar 13th, 235 AF while the treaty itself (Public Post #3264) was written and *signed* on Valnuary 25th, 235 AF - a full thirteen days before your "addendum". This lead me to believe that none of the signatories of this treaty were in any way aware of the "conditions" of the treaty you added after their signing. After speaking with some of them, this was confirmed. It would seem to me then that these mortals cannot be held to this addendum as they never agreed to it on such terms, only on the terms *specifically* stated in the Treaty of Valnuary 25th, 235 AF.
Unless you have a signed document in which the original signatories all agreed to this addendum (which I find highly unlikely since the mortals I have spoken to representing Shallam and the Church stated to me that had this condition been made clear to them in the terms of the original document, they would have found it unacceptable) - I can see nothing that holds them to it. If indeed they wish to accept it as addendum to the treaty - then let them sign to it. If not - then what all who signed and the citizens they represent agreed to was to not defile ANYWHERE south of the southern tip of Thera and to not convocate ANYONE, ANYWHERE without the convcatee's permission.
Perhaps you felt that such a fact should have been inherently evident to the mortals who signed, however, no such detail was every pointed out save after the fact. Perhaps because you knew such a detail would never have been accepted otherwise, perhaps because you simply overlooked it, perhaps because it only came to mind later, perhaps a hundred different reasons, but it changes not the facts. The signatories never agreed to it.
