The Treaty of Aschgæt is a multinational agreement between Aedeland, Amberia, Anisora, and Auresia that established a military alliance known as the Aschgæt Alliance. The treaty was signed on April 8, 7498, during the Conference of Aschgæt at the onset of the Pan-Anarian War.
History
The Treaty of Abessios, signed in September 7465, established the Amberian-Auresian alliance against Helreich at the outbreak of the Tandem Wars. The conclusion of these wars resulted in nearly thirty years of Amberian-Auresian hegemony. During this period, Dynast Emperor Dastari III secured a series of aristocratic political marriages, aligning his house with the ruling houses of Aedeland, Amberia, Anisora, and Penryn.
In late March 7498, a dispute over oil trade through critical Anarian straits led to the Auresian blockade of all Hellish shipments through the central Medio Straits of Hattaro. On April 8, 7498, Helreich broke the Auresian blockade and invaded Hattaro. Anisora was the first nation to declare war on Helreich, following the declaration of war on Auresia due to a defensive alliance signed with Auresia in 7494 under the Second Amicizia Accord. The next day, Amberia and Aedeland declared war on Helreich. Amberian leaders organized a conference at Aschgæt with representatives from Auresia, Anisora, and Aedeland to formulate a campaign to retake the Southern Medio.
Signatory Parties
Each nation was represented by its defense minister, except Anisora, which was represented by the Amberian ambassador. The conference was hosted by the Amberian Minister of War, Aurahi Æv Kønigesfurt. Auresia was represented by Lord Paramount Rinaldo Bellone of the Auresian Council of State, Aedeland by Lord Martial Núðræðn Av Gangr, and Anisora by Sir P. Adriano da Moranese. Due to Helreich's control of the Southern Medio, the conference was conducted in utmost secrecy, with both Lord Bellone and Hær Gangr arriving by airship at night. Later that year, Hallis signed the treaty, and in 7511, Penryn and Ádalen also joined.
Supreme Military Council
The treaty established a Supreme Military Council with three appointed Stratigos from each allied nation. The council would appoint a Supreme Commander (Stratárchis), who would act as Generalissimo of the allied military forces for a term of at least five years, not exceeding ten years. Initially headquartered at Aschgæt, the council was responsible for organizing and planning the allied campaign against the United League.
Supreme Commanders under the Aschgæt Alliance:
- Barden R. Allusis (Proconsul, Auresia, 7498–7508)
- Zsulie Æv Llesei (Degansmarshal, Amberia, 7508–7518)
- Elliott Palmer (Lord Martial, Aedeland, 7518–7528)
- Thalo O. Cholini (Proconsul, Auresia, 7528–7538)
- Ulrike Æv Ajas-Anstegen (Grand Duchess, Amberia, 7538–7548)
- James Marshall (Lord Martial, Aedeland, 7548–7552)
Order of Battle
See Aldsegian Expeditionary Force Order of Battle, 7498.
Creating an effective multinational order of battle was one of the most challenging tasks addressed at the conference, particularly the integration of Aedeland and Anisora's forces. The military structures of Aedeland and Anisora were significantly different from the legion-based structures of Amberia and Auresia. It was determined that an Aedelant and Anisoran army division was equivalent to an Amberian and Auresian legion.
